Making the move...

[PacRimRider1]

Well, after 6 months of consideration, 2 months of actual consideration and 2 weeks of I-am-for-real-gunna-do-this-shit, a decision has been made: I'm moving to Utah. I've found some nice people through roomates.com (thanks for whomever recommended this to someone else a while ago) who want to give me a room in cottonwood heights for a modest $225 a month. Much appreciation goes to a little internet photo contest (see sublimedirectory.com) for giving me the capital to purchase a non pre-season season pass. And finally, I'd like to give my deepest regards to everyone who has posted the incredible stoke since snow began to fall on Alta while I struggled through this terrible Oregon fall. God bless you.

Now, down to buisiness. First, anyone have a job for me? I know its a little late to start working at a hill but I do have a years experience at mt. ashland (southern oregon) being a rental tech. Think thats good enough? prolly not. Eh, we can work on the job thing later. Second, assuming I can't aquire an employee pass, ya'll know of any discounted season passes for alta/snowbird? That would be beautiful. Third, a friend and I are going to fly out before Christmas to ski and so I can tie down a few loose ends and whatnot. Know of any cheap digs in the area? A tour of your great mtn would be much appreciated as well.

Thanks for any advice; this ski town jong needs all you've got. And HOLY SHIT IM STOKED!!!

not too late to work on the hill. most places start to pickup a few xtras right before x-mas. you should call around. if you want to live in the valley, snowbird is always hiring. there's also a couple ways to get a pass w/o doing much work up there.

I'm pretty sure we are looking for a few more rental monkeys at the rental shop at The Canyons.....however it's in Park City where we get half the snow of the Cottonwoods. But it's a job and a pass.
