my advice to you...
stay in the vdub industry lol. why the hell would you make the switch from big name dealer (im assuming some kind of tech/sales associate because why would you move that far to detail cars) to lifty. ski industry in summit county is wack as shit unless you want to be a lifty your whole life. much more room for advancement in vdub. maybe go get all your ASE certs like me. and you do know having a card will not make you exempt for places that drug test anyway - like car dealers.

well iv been selling cars a while now and your right there is room for advancement but skiing is my passion not selling cars and iv always wanted my goal in life to have a job doing something i love...Im not saying being a lifty forever but if thats what lets me get my foot in the door then so be it .. but i would prefer a sales job or something in customer service ..and i know they will still drug test..iv always been able to get around that one way or the other..Stoked to see my oppertunities out there

you are in for a big shock then my friend. with med/legal weed comes knowledge about every way to fake tests, knowledge both sides of the equation have. and you will most likely NEVER advance from lifty up in summit, period. the only people who advance in the ski industry in summit are ones that have given up on life haha.

have fun though. the skiing is pretty grand.

Denver is a lot better to live in then Summit. Ski Loveland too, no crowds with a weekday pass. Some of the worthless pros think people like us ski there because of them, but the truth is it's the best place to hit from Denver. Summit is pretty bad. It is overcrowded and the other guys are right, you won't advance and the people that have worked the ski areas for awhile are lame. Echo Park is close to Denver too without all that phony hype up in Summit. Really laid back place with a cool crowd. That would be a cool job, do you get a car??? Good mountain biking at Echo too. (I know where there's a foam pit there too.)

but he said breck and keystone: "now i will be just a hr drive from breck and keystone so im pumped" which is more than an hour as well...though both could be reached if you had some super-sonic airborne form of transportation
