Check out the job fair at Cascade Mountain on November 4th and 6th next week. You can work full or part time. Make some extra cash on weekends instead of sitting around inside the house! The people there are great and it’s kind of fun working at a resort type of place. People are paying…
Tyrol was open last night and they’re supposed to be open tonight, too. Kinda tempting. 🙂 It looks like they changed their website. I think I like their old one better. -T
Here’s a video of someone carving a steep pitch. We’re going to look over this tomorrow night it sounds like. Some good skiing. I’m working on the details for my ski trip this season. It looks like we might do Tahoe. I’ve got a cousin out there and she and her family like to ski…
Here’s an email I sent sent to a friend of mine that was asking my advice about buying or renting skis. He plans to go quite a bit this year and this is a good question. Enjoy: …Really, the best place for sure to put money is in your boots. No doubt. Spend money on…
No, I haven’t gone skiing this month but we did have our first ski instructor ground school on Monday. We talked about a bunch of technical stuff. I’m going for my PSIA Level 2 Certification this year, so I’m trying to soak up as much "technical stuff" as I can to be ready. It’s a…

This was fun… a group of us ski instructors went up to Granite Peak in Wausau, WI for the day (Rib Mountain). We had an ex-Cascade ski school director, Paul, be our guide out there. We got to most of the runs. Some on the right were kind of bad with the snow that was…
Well, this looks like the last harrah… Cascade Mountain was closed, but Doug and I got in to help with the Pink Flamingo Camp that was going on where they train kids on jumps, boxes, tabletops, rails and other stuff I can’t do yet. The weather was great and we ventured off and enjoyed some…
Well, Karl and I enjoyed 2 glorious days of skiing at Indianhead. The first day was actually a little cool and we had flurries. The second day was a little warmer, it became sunny and was about perfect. Our favorite runs were Geronimo and Tomahawk which are both black diamonds next to each other but…
Well, I put in my last weekend of ski instructing at Cascade Mountain for this year. They’re open one more weekend. It doesn’t sound like there will be many instructors there but it’s not likely that people will be taking a lot of lessons the last week of the season unless they’re going out west….
