LOLOLOL - I don't even get comp rooms. Half off at any other property we own (which is 53 world wide now that we bought Caesar's Entertainment), but nada here. I cannot even gamble at Harrah's. As to your question about high rollers - they are people, and people are people no matter what yer talking about. Some are very, very cool. Others - not so cool. This business is not boring, I can tell you that, fer sure! To answer skidude - if you know the ski business, you know that the people who WORK in it do not get to ski as much as you think they do. I've done more skiing since I left than when I was at Hunter. Granted, I did some skiing in primo conditions when all I did was walk outside my office door - literally - but as for sheer vertical feet, there was no time with a 7 day a week job, and with Hunter's long season, not much time to catch good conditions at other places early or late season. I'm also making LESS money, but MUCH better bennies, and a WHOLE lot less stress, and a TON of less hours. Which means I'm aging at a much slower rate now.

Hi there, Atomic Skier! I left the ski industry -- and 50 years of living in the mountains -- for the Jersey Shore, Atlantic City to be exact, and now earn a paycheck from Harrah's, as a Special Events coordinator. Stuff for high rollers - like Blackjack Tournaments, New Year's Eve Gala, etc. Cool, huh?

Greetings, all. Tis I, June from Hunter. I got several PM's through the HM MB (Hunter Mtn. Message Board) that I was famous on this board. I don't know about that, but it's wonderful to know that some of you think I'm swell. I left Hunter in Jan. 03, but still stay in very close contact with the very special people, DMC's, etc. that I was privileged to get to know while I was there. To say Hunter has great snowmaking is an understatement. I know snowmaking, after 25 years in the business, and their snowmaking is un-freakin'-believeable, when they crank it. The mountain itself is better-than-average - and if you get to know the very special people there, you get to explore the very special stuff at Hunter that only they know about. Have a good one, ya'll - whoever you are! June "A ray of sunshine in otherwise flat conditions."
