AHHHHH I FUCKING LOVE IT!!! I don't care if its just a test it will be great to see snow blowing at Blue!!!! Stoked Stoked Stoked Stoked Stoked Stoked Stoked Stoked Stoked Stoked Stoked Stoked Did I say I was STOKED?

Lights are on at Blue!!!! Cold Temperatures are around the corner and i'll be boarding once again..... Ah SOOOOOOOOOO STOKED! Everyday after Work i'll be riding till Close, I'm going to wear the hell out of my Board this Season I'm not sure if they were on last night but I saw them tonight and I was so excited I had to say something.

Oh yeah how stupid of me forgetting to ask this question, this being my First Year working for Blue what are the Employee Perks? I know Food and Equipment are greatly discounted but I would be looking more forward to lift discounts or a certain number of free lift tickets as I am Teaching my Girlfriend how to Board this Season and I would imagine there would be some kind of lift discount or a given mumber of free tickets which would be f'in awesome!

So what kind of Uniforms are these "Instructors" going to be wearing? How about some gnarly full tie dye jumpsuit that would be psychedlic

Okay just checked NOAA if it holds out the night time temps should and hopefully are. Tonight: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 28. Northwest wind between 6 and 9 mph Tuesday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 27. West wind around 5 mph becoming calm. Wednesday Night: Periods of rain. Low around 36. Chance of precipitation is 80%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible. Thursday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 29. Friday Night: Partly cloudy, with a low around 22. Saturday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 21. WHOOOO WHOOOOOOO!

Weather Channel has a good chunk of this week of night time temps below 32 to as low as 28 or 26 I forget..... Time to Touch the Sky!!!! Hopefully by Next Week.

Why can I picture a Noob not getting enough speed or pussing out just before and missing the bag completly and casing the landing on flat ground? if blue puts a gap between the lip and bag I can picture someone falling a bit short on the landing and getting a nice ride on medivac.

Yeah I got my Employee Pass this past Monday and I asked if the bag was included and all I got was a big nope, sorry. Also.

heres something to make ya giggle... Talk about future plans that Blue wanted to do but for some reason takes years & years to accomplish. New Water Park on the North side of the mountain in the Valley and Condos & Tons more Trails. There is Resort on only about a Quarter of the total land Blue owns. But im sure everyone knows alllllll of this stuff by now I mean they've been talking about so many plans as long as 4 Years ago but Management still rants about it all like it will be built next Year.... I'm at a loss for what goes through there minds.

Didn't get that down and dirty with that kind of info but I would guess all the info that's on the ticket will be on the scanner. I'll ask tonite we have a Security meeting at 7pm. And the lift scan is particular to the guys/gals who hang on the Mtn 2 hours after there pass expired, so thank those people for the lift scan for those of you who dont like the idea of it. Management dosen't want to loose out on money and it will also take a good amount of bodys off the slopes that dont belong on them. I know people who did that last year and they would do it everytime they would come.

Ya Dave said the scanners will show all of the Ticket information now. Mainly for assholes who dont understand why their ticket dosent work..... We can just simply show them the scanner and be like this is why dumbass see ya later when your ticket works. Nice way to shove peoples foots in their mouths.

Okay, so I take it Freeski is a moron then? no? Jim isn't the GM?

JIM DAILEY IS THE GM? Shit thats news to me. I see him everywhere. How the hell did Jim go from Ski Patrol Director to GM? I was also curious why I always saw him in the summit lodge office in regular clothing towards the end of last season.

Or Security, you should have seen the real winners dave was interviewing today HA! Said he had about 80 employees working for him last year and he couldnt find anyone to wanna work. so the GM told him hire as much as you need, so dave is looking for around 120 to 130 employees so if there are any fuckoffs which there will be he can just go ahead and boot them out the door.

They never hire for the shuttle ever, the same guys have been doing it for years and its all they do. blue pays for a little over half of the coats..... but i guess the extra 50 bucks was more than they could afford LOL

That will be the day lol.... But why does it sound like something blue will enforce? O well I can't invert anyway and wont be able to....... Probably ever, so I have no problem with it. Sorry for the guys who can invert though.

You got it top and bottom and lift checks

I talked to Dave the Security manager and nothing has changed from last year, still doing the lot check Via 4 wheeler but foot patrol is new for this year, Jackets are new this year also... 50 bucks gets you a coat its manditory for all security employees. New Ticket and Pass Scanners will be able to show actual ticket facts and not just if the Ticket or Pass is good or not and added 8 more scanners so passes can get checked at all of the lifts too to stop anyone from hanging out on the slopes longer than what there ticket says. Armed Guards is true, it feels like im forgetting something to add but ill just edit it if something else comes to me.

Your absolutely right about the Cigaretts tho, shit. Hm guess we all will see if this will be a good idea or not. I bet they will enforce it to no end and who ever dosent obey will be replaced with someone who will no questions asked.

OH I get it..... No wait I really dont, WHAT? is that english?

Wow............... what's next Someone dressing up as a Big Snowflake costume greeting all the People that come in? Wtf...

No Parking lot this year? Aw why not? I'd love to haul ass after someone on the 4 wheeler and tell them they can't park in that spot. And what "cage" are you talking about? Armed Guards? Jesus, that seems out of the ordinary.

Well lets just say Weather Channel says the "Average High/low Temps" for December 1st Seasonal normal High of 41* and normal Low of 25*. See how it pans out. I like how everyone says its getting cooler when the "cooler" part is how its really supposed to be this time of November, weve just been getting really spoiled with up to 15* above normal temps.... Heatwave in November ha. I want Snow damnit!!! Well okay screw Snow I want Snow making Temperatures!

Def the wrong Thread, I feel like a moron now.

Well lost a few posts here but anyway, Went up to Blue on Friday. Place is looking pretty good so far everyone is hard at work settin up, me and my buddy checked out the tent sale even tho workers were still loading the tent up with old equipment. Walked around the Summit Lodge and it smelled clean... Not like the rotten foot odor you get during the season lol. I filled out an app and asked what posistions were still open and the lady says everything but Park Crew, and also added that compared to nite shift, from "4 to 10 or whatever" day shift is empty as hell. I talked to a kid that started a few weeks ago that is doing rentals said pay is abosolute shit which I totally expected he also adds that if anyone wants to work at Blue for the money they need their heads examined lol. So i'll see what happens.
