A day at the office

Here was my Christmas day at work!

Merry Christmas!

Thanks everyone for the gifts! We had a quiet Christmas here!

Work

I started working on Thursday Nov. 27 at the top of the Buckaroo Express lift (the beginner hill gondola on the far east side of the mountain). I work Thursday through Sunday and have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off to play! We are lucky to live almost right at the bottom of lift #15 (Lower Beaver Creek Express Lift) so we walk out of our apartment and load a lift to some of the best skiing on the mountain (in my opinion). Like the picture says, living here is "not exactly roughing it."

This is my office at the top of 1.

Here is my view every morning.

This is why I'm here.

I am loving my job. Getting to learn about the mechanics of the lifts and talking to people every day has been awesome. The life of a liftie isn't the most exciting, but just being here on the hill makes it worth it.

We haven't had a really cold day yet, the weather has been very mild. It has been in the mid 40s almost every day and we haven't had snow since opening week. Hopefully we will get some this weekend, at least that's what the latest weather report is saying.
