It has nothing to do with the ark. There is a house (that is not a 100 year old motel) where visiting pros (not coaches) and guests stay when they are there for, lets say, the traveling circus takeover week (or any other reason they may be there). The job, from what I can tell, is to be the housekeeper/guest-pro liaison/event-planner/blogger for the duration of the summer.

Hiring some random to "babysit" at the ark would be about as effective as sending a mormon missionary to Charles Bukowski's house....or to the ark.

They need to hire someone who has been in Hood/Windells for a while, and is really motivated. Last year the "ski pro host" person, and Windells dropped the ball and I would hate to see it happen again. Not to mention the snowboard host does a sick job, and would like to see it happen with the ski house. My vote goes towards Steve Stepp or John Kutcher.

John already knows most everyone that is coming, good worker, and knows whats up in skiing.

It would be cool to get someone that has never been to Hood to do this, but its a job for someone who has been around for a few years.

Maybe Windells can run a contest to have someone come for a session or two and help John? I'm sure a bunch of people would pay air fair to come to Windells for a week or two and help John.

This is going to be the best summer evaa! Kutcher is definitely a solid candidate for this considering his experience although I guess I'm stating the obvious here. Hyped!
