Got the oil tank filled up on Wednesday....all I can say is OUCH

Well I am not too sure of that. They are not having rental shop training until December 1st and there is a big customer service meeting that day. So I doubt it will be 4 weeks. Maybe closer to 5 though!!

Ethan decided against the seasonal tune up but he is going to bring his equipment up to CB for a tune up. They are running a special for $19.95 which seems pretty good for a full tune (according to Ethan that is). Is it a good price? He is so excited about the winter his my space page is full of pics! Come on mother nature! Momma wants the kids out of the house!!!

............but Camelback is okay in my book! My son just got an email today from the folks in the rental shop. Not only does he get his own Sunday thru Friday season pass card, my family has the oportuntiy to get one too. For the incredible price of $50.00 each!! And the pass includes ski rentals and lessons if we want! What a great deal! What a family friendly attitude! Put your siblings to work boys....And next year ride for free!!!

I love the money I am saving on heating my house right now, but I got to tell you how anxious I am for the ski season. (Not for myself but to get these kids out of the house!!!!) Is it ever going to get cold?

What makes him so special? Experience? A special discount for you? (Based on listending to you on this board, I would charge YOU double, then make you park really far away to put your gear in your car...... ) What is it that makes "Mark" the man??

I think the price is 125.00. A full tune up costs around 30.00 which is why I wondered if the price was worth it.

My son is trying to convince me that a seasonal tune up is the way to go this year. Camelback offers one and he has only good things to say about the guy Mark who works there. He did go snowboarding 4 or 5 times a week last winter (and his board did get pretty beat up). Anyone have a seasonal tune at Camelback? Do you think such an expense is worth the money? What are your thoughts on this guy Mark?

I am just sharing my experience with you. It is just my thoughts thats all. I have been reading what you guys write for awhile and finally had something worthwhile to contribute. Obviously people on this board have serious issues regading camelback's management but for my son, it has been a great oportunity for him to learn and enjoy a sport we really couldn't afford otherwise.

My son works at Camelback and I have to tell you it seems pretty fair to me. He has worked in the rental shop since he was a sophmore in HS ~He is now a freshman at college working during his break and on weekends. He gets a FREE Sunday through Friday season pass, which is also good every night, so the only restriction he has is he can not ride on Saturday day (seriously big deal). He gets two (2) vouchers attached to his pay check each week which are good for a lift ticket and a ski rental (both FREE) that he can give to his friends (when his sister isn't using them). He learned to snowboard for FREE last winter, both the lessons were FREE and the snowboard rentals (Burton) were FREE. PLUS we can go snowtubing if we want (yes for FREE). He aslo gets 1/2 off his food (Yes it is Cafeteria food but it is reasonalble with the discount). He was able to purchase some things at the loft (20% off for CB employees) with the money he earned. He makes just a bit over minimum wage ($7.50) but with all the perks it adds up to be a pretty good deal. He loves the people he works with (he has made some very good friends there) his bosses are nice, what more can a person ask for? His sister can't wait until she is old enough to work there. So before you knock Camelback, think of all the kids that have worked there and who have learned a sport they love. It's not so bad and if you think about it, the management there could be way worse....
