Being a skier and corporate life

[jrmagic]

Go for it while your young! If you don't you'll wish you had . As long as you cover your health insurance. A gap in employment can be dealt with honestly on a job application, hey bosses ski too! I litterally got a job due to someone spotting a Sugarloaf sticker on one of my company vans.

The dilemma is gone. Got laid off, with many others in the department.

Got a reasonable package though. I'll have paycheck coming for part of the winter and no need to work! What timing? So this season is my chance of ski bumming!

Hokkaido Japan 1st-2nd week of January.

Bought Epic Local to supplement MCP. Will drive out to CO after Japan.

Have a place to crash in Summit county with buddy. Probably stay a month. Visit Aspen/Telluride/Taos while there, on MCP.

Onward to Park City, which I will have free lodging, as long as I keep it for less than 10 days. Epic local is blacked out on Saturdays, but I have 2 days at Alta/Bird included in MCP which should be perfect.

Banff, Revelstoke, Whistler on the MCP. Between MCP and Epic Local, I have 6 days in Whistler. Plan to ski my heart out!

Swing by Tahoe on the way back. Northstar & Heavenly on Epic Local, Squaw-pine & Kirkwood on MCP.

Back to Summit till I'm sick of skiing (probably April)

Cataract surgery & job hunting late April. Back to the grind and the cubicle view.

Sorry to hear about the layoff. While I'm sure its upsetting, you definitely came up with a great plan to distract you!! I got laid off last fall right in front of the dud winter we had lol. Unfortunately I had too many other things going on to travel anywhere but the freedom to do or not to things at my leisure was very addicting! I hope you enjoy the hell out of your winter!!

abc: Have you been to Hokkaido? If not, feel free to pm me. I was there last year working and will be there this season from Dec 23 - Jan 17 and then to Nozowa Onsen & Myoto Kogen. When in Hokkaido, I will be in central Hokkaido.

Look me up when you out here. Happy to do some laps at DV, Alta, Snowbird, or even Sundance or whatever....

Thanks! Will let you know when I head out that way. Probably sometime Feb or March.

Right now busy trying to nail down the detail of the Japan trip.

Have you been to Taos before? It is a cool place. Japan will be outrageous, I'm sure. You are my hero abc, have a ball!

Cornhead, YOU are my hero, with all those 6 hr drive & sleeping in the car just to chase the sweetest powder!

You just have to become a weekend warrior on the East coast and take trips out West. That is what most of us do and have fun doing it because skiing is better than not skiing.

As Janice Joplin once sang(I think)...skiin' crud is just another word for nothin' left to lose...

..BUT YES abc....stay active and make something out of life while unemployed. It's all the same, it's your life time, so as it wasn't your first choice...make it a positive time, as short or long as it may be....just stay away from the Fukushima bus tours.

This should be a separate thread! Haha , funny how lyrics take on our own interpretation. Gets worse as my hearing deteriorates
