I just wanted to be in the Rockies and go snowboarding and skiing for free all season. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>What were you doing in Yellowstone?<\/strong> I was working at the Old Faithful Inn \u2014 it was cool, it was interesting. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><strong>Are you a skier or a snowboarder?<\/strong> Snowboard. I am a beginner snowboarder. Many people have said to me the only difference between a beginner and a professional is three days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>What has surprised you the most about Aspen?<\/strong> The Victorian architecture of (town), I wasn\u2019t expecting that. It\u2019s really interesting; the town itself is really beautiful.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>What\u2019s your most memorable interaction with a guest so far?<\/strong> There is one guest who every time he sees me he gives everybody working candy and Snickers and stuff. He\u2019s a really nice guy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>How do you stay warm working outside?<\/strong> The uniform is very warm. I\u2019m very fortunate that they give us warm uniforms. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>Who picks the music that plays at the lifts?<\/strong> There are some set radio stations, but whoever is in there looking through the radio stations kind of chooses it, so it just depends on whoever is in there. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Special Sections-ATW-ATW_Body_Serif\"><span><strong>Where can people expect to find you working on the mountain?<\/strong> I could be at the bottom or top of one of the lifts, who knows you might even see me on a different mountain like Buttermilk.
