Claim your positions, since I'm this starting this bad boy I just took out a 2nd mortgage on the house ill have in 10 years, giving us 1 million dollars to start with. My interest is 3.5% so we need to be making at least that much a year. As ownership, I'm looking to hire some great ski techs as well as a digital marketing guy. Perhaps a boot fitter. A few climbing/bike experts will be needed for summer operations

I am also implementing something called the powder day lottery. If there is a bona fide powder day happening, there will be a lottery in which all employees may enter the day before in exchange for adding an extra shift for the week. If you win the lottery, you get the day off. If you dont win, you work an extra shift anyway.

Recommendations and improvements welcome.

Well, we're coming up on Christmas season men and women. We gotta be in top shape for the holiday jerries. Thus far we've accumulated some medium sized debt but a good holiday season should change all that. We've got a fleet of soul 7s and a smaller fleet of nordica enforcers for the real dad skiers, and our ad campaign using instagram influencers seems to be working since we're getting a bunch of calls here and there.

Currently Hiring:
2 Attractive college juniors to wear respectable but provocative attire to stand close to the entrance to entice ski moms and dads, 1 male 1 female. Payment will be in excellent letters of recommendation for your future analyst positions, and employee discounts.

Nice bump. I am not a dad, but still, I ski like one because I "old" Good call, because Dads spend the $$$$ and so do Moms!

freestyler540Make sure to have a summer rail setup behind the shop... or in the shop itself.


Were you officially hired because I’d like this position? If you were I guess I could be the mascot if I really had to.

@freestyler540 usually only works summers so you can have the position for the winter if youd like.

I noticed there isn't anyone checking indemnification of bindings. Can I be binding control? Turning down people buying old gear online and wanting us to adjust it?

Just trying to save us from possible legal issues.

Hey boss the winter setup is a big success it’s even bringing n extra business to the tuning department for those kids that can’t hit a rail correctly. Can we get some money for tools and supplies to build new features?

I firmly believe in the local rail setup. There's a decrepit abandoned skate park about 23 miles due northeast of here, follow the rising sun, and take the work truck and you should be able to scrounge up some wooden kicker materials for lips and a few pipes for a new rail setup. Here's an angle grinder and a blowtorch. Godspeed

Also heres 30 bucks for lunch for 2 of you cause you're doing a great job!

Well gang, it looks like our social media campaign coupled with our core skier attitude has really paid some dividends in our first year of operation. Our rental fleet strategy has gotten us to the point where we've almost made a profit this first year, which is basically unheard of when it comes to ski shops. The snow is coming down hard and now we just need to keep getting the word out. Backyard rail setup is a pretty nice touch to the shop too and the rest of the local businesses love the sounds it makes.

Hiring positions:
Filmer for rail setup
Sticker ambassador(put our stickers absolutely everywhere)
Shop Dad

Guys just because the design of the pivot is relatively the same doesn't mean we can work on them. Don't want to see any more pivots from the 80s...

That being said 0 lawsuits so far, so ehhhh keep it up

I call filmer, I have a greasy Sony VX1000 and will constantly talk about how much better quality older cameras are, despite the fact that my clips look like I shot everything with a cheese grater over the lens. Every single edit I put together will be made on my phone with iMovie with the default music. I will always talk shit on "MAGMA" for being beta or not hardcore enough, and call Owen Dahlberg a sellout.

Ooh! Hire me!

I will sell all of your binding jigs on craigslist and use the money to buy treats for my dog. But don't worry, years of reviewing skis has made me really good at using paper jigs, most of the time.

Also, I will draw stickers for your ski shop. Then all the kids will come in and ask for stickers and not buy anything. But marketing. And if you're mean to me I'll draw comics about how much my boss sucks.

You do employee dental insurance right?

I call Shop Wook. I will keep customers dosed up on the finest tabs around, no doubt increasing sales. Will make sure to keep stocks of whipits in the back for employees and tip them out with dank pressies every friday night. As a plus we could sell drugs at festivals I attend when I'm not at work, which will be often.

I’ll be the ski tech but only if I can have a couple of ridiculous preconditions- I will show up late basically every day, usually hungover, and probably leave early without clocking out pretty regularly also. I only want to mount skis that I like, and under no circumstances am I going to talk to any of the customers.

I'm just here to tune skis at night. But wait, after all the managers lock up and go home I pull out my sleeping bag and sleep on the couch. I actually live here, don't worry, I'll be on the slopes before any of you get here tomorrow. Where do I shower? I don't, I just turn the water pressure all the way up on the Wintersteiger and bathe in a fine mist of rusty tap water and ptex shavings.

You've stolen merchandise from the shop for the last time and there will be dire consequences. I was considering perhaps death by guillotine, or drawing and quartering, but I'm sentencing you to a far worse fate:
You're fired, and each season I will personally make sure your ski boots are made just a little bit too big for your feet, even if you don't bring them in to any shop to be fitted, I will find you and your boots and using a small blowtorch, increase the shell size just a bit too much, every set of boots you buy, for the rest of your life.
