theabortionatorTerrain Park Manager, TP Day Crew, Groomer at ski areas depending on the season.
Idk, I like it and I hate it. I'm good at designing park layouts and new features, I'm good at building the park to match those ideas, I'm good at mixing things up, and maintaining features.
On the other hand sometimes I feel like I don't even like winter any more. So much stress. It's a job that's allowed me to travel to some pretty cool places I probably would not have gone, but idk.
I can't necessarily see myself leaving for good at any point, but I definitely think about it regularly now. This is my 11th season in the parks and 14th at ski areas.
Just finished my 15th in parks, 18th at ski areas. Now just grooming park mostly and occasionally helping people open in the AM if they get short staffed for diggers. I like the night life and not having to work around as many people. I like people but it's nice to just crank music, do the job and then gtfo. Obviously drama is only a radio call away but whatever.
I'm working there next fall again but taking the summer off. Going to try and rock a few summer in Aus the next 2 or 3 years and see how I like it. After that I might go full time year round and get into the more consistent life. Maybe settle down and actually live in the same place for a few years all year instead of seasonal. We'll see. Maybe I'll rock the seasonal gypsy life as long as I can.
