Some thoughts....

It's funny that this time when there are basball jobs open, I'm not looking for them. Maybe a good paying has something to do with it.

That there is something wrong with the fact that gallon of milk cost just as much or more than a six pack of beer.
That you shouldn't pass up a chance to exchange contact info when you meet somebody cool on a flight. Instead of letting the opportunity pass

That the fall and playoff baseball is the best time of the year.

It's almost time to pull out the snowboard and get some wax on the board and shred some gnar.

It's almost time for a new computer.

June is finnally open!

Well it was only a few weeks behind but with the last storm, we finally managed to get June Mtn on Friday the 5th. open!!! It was a good day to say the least. Now we just need some more snow and all will be good. It is a welcome change to have full time work again and not just be hanging out, waiting for snow. In many ways the ski bussiness is like farming. Without water there will be no crops and with out snow thier will not be a season. And as anybody knows who has spent anytime around the farm. It's not just getting rain, it's when you get it and how much you get at once. For a massive downpour doesn't do much for a farmer. Especially when it's two months before the next rainfall. It's kinda of works for skiing the same way. Get a storm on a holiday weekend and it's pretty much killed the weekend. But get that same storm a few days before on slower midweek days, it's going to be a crazy weekend. And with no snow thier are no skiers.
No skiers equal no work and money. So in the end it's all about timing and learning to live with the good seasons and the bad. Till the next storm. GO BUCKEYES!

The white album

One of the things about living with a bunch of snowboarders is that they pretty much live, breath and eat snowboarding. If they are not on the hill practing their rodeo 720's they are watching snowboarding video's at night. And I mean a lot of them. I think they have watched the WHITE Album starring shaun"the flying tomoato" white and a few others everysingle day for a like a month. Now I can take a snowboarding video now and then. But when they are watching the same video for the fifth day in a row. It's time to do something different. Because there's so much more to do than watch the same video over and over. Like baseball.
