    I work for the Forest Service. I'll be working at Vail Pass in the winter and running the trail crew in the summer.

    Wow, I've never heard of anyone who moved from AK to CO.

    Whatever you've heard...it's all true.

    It is also not so bad despite whatever you've heard although our weather is going to make you beg for mercy it is way gnarlier than in AK, over 5000 people/year in CO die as a direct (eg: immediately and not later from cancer) from sunburns.

    Oh gawd, I really hope that dick Fitzpatrick isn't your boss. If he is, I would pack up all your shit and drive right back to AK. Seriously. That guy is a prick.

    Will look for you up at the pass this winter. Hopefully the NFS will benefit from having a maggot on the force. Good luck.

    How are you are so unbelievably stupid? Ski passes for 9 months of skiing and 10,000 acres (inbounds) cost $300. Really. Breck, top to bottom is 4000 vert. The east Vail runs we do are close to 3000 vert of neck deep untouched powder.

    What the hell are you skiing, you little tard? You got a heli taking you around that you haven't told us about?

    Anyway welcome telemike! You're in charge of some of our favorite stashes.
