<\/div>\n

Name:<\/strong> Jake Bunnett<\/p>\n

Hometown:<\/strong> Dallas<\/p>\n

Lift location:<\/strong> Sheer Bliss, Snowmass<\/p>\n

What brought you to Aspen?<\/strong> I came here two and a half years ago to ski.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you a skier or a snowboarder<\/strong>? I first skied when I was about 4-years-old. My parents used to bring us up to Colorado for ski trips during spring break. <\/span><\/p>\n

What has surprised you the most about Aspen?<\/strong> The summer season. Hiking and going wherever. You can sort of adventure and check things out that are blocked off in the winters. But it\u2019s beautiful in either season.<\/span><\/p>\n

What does a good night out in Aspen consist of?<\/strong> A good Belly Up show and hanging out with friends before and or after the show. The Belly Up always gets really good artists.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s your most memorable interaction with a guest so far?<\/strong> There is a guy named Jim who used to come up to Sam\u2019s Knob on the dot every morning when I would open and he would be there 5 or 10 minutes early. I\u2019d have a good talk with him three or four days out of my work week. He\u2019s a good guy and a quality interaction each time. It\u2019s always good to get to know people who ski every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you stay warm working outside?<\/strong> Layering. Definitely layering. And I have Ramen every day. The warm chicken broth is prime for keeping you warm in the cold, windy days here at Sheer Bliss. <\/span><\/p>\n

How do you stave off boredom?<\/strong> Good music. Music is very important and keeps you moving.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best music to play at the lifts?<\/strong> Anything upbeat is my go-to, something that keeps the day driving forward. And 93.5 (KTND) is a real hit with a lot of the customers. Everybody loves the golden oldies. <\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best thing about the job? <\/strong>The best part can also be the worst part. It\u2019s awesome being up here on the mountain. That being said, it\u2019s really rough working on the mountain when there\u2019s 6 to 7 inches falling around you and you really want to be out there and everybody\u2019s like \u2018Aw, you should get out there.\u2019 And I\u2019m like, \u2018Trust me, I would get out there for a lap or two, I\u2019d be there in a heartbeat.\u2019 <\/span><\/p>\n

Where can people expect to find you working on the mountain?<\/strong> This season, Sheer Bliss. Last year, I was at Sam\u2019s Knob; the season before that at Alpine Springs. <\/span><\/p>\n
