so the last 5 months wouldve not existed if my parents had not decided to retire and move to mexico. i wouldve stayed in detroit but nothing was going on. personally mexico is nice and all, for vacation, not a residency. so my mom and tried to think of an alternative for me. i could graduate early from hs which made me quite happy (thank you summer school) so i had to find some where that would hire some random chick, fresh from hs. that place was alta, perfectly nestled in the little cotton wood canyon in utah. it was there where i had to ultimate vacation of a lifetime. literally all i did was ski. i was hired as a lifty, they had dorms for the workers up in the canyon, right next to the wildcat and collins lift. it was pretty awesome. if you wanted you could easily have first chair and if you were working, freshies were pretty guarenteed if you were working that day ( if you got up for the early mornings that is)
but there was one thing that was somewhat of a catch.
i was the only girl from one point and onwards.
when i first arrived, young naiive and eager to charge some pow i had two roomies. first there was georgia aka rebecca. she was nice but she wasnt in for the whole ski bum life. she hated the cold ( first off why would you move to an area that averages 500 inches per year?) and she really didnt want to work ( second off, what did you think you were going to be doing at alta, answering phones?) she had already been there for 2 weeks and had already quit. i actually heard that she tried to put on her skis backwards. lol. oh and she also left people on the rustler lift for twenty minutes LOL. but the second room, caitlin, was the shit. she was from oregon and had come out for a second season, she was a foreman. she was really cool, chill and geniunely a nice person.i have never met a person who right off the bat invited me to a bowl after only knowing her for literally 2 seconds ( when i say two seconds i mean two seconds) too bad she left me for her love in san francisco
but alas, me and the 30 other guys got along qutie well, i never really fought with any of them. they were all out there to ski and have a great time doing it. they were all a great bunch of guys that i really got to meet.
im definetly probs gonna forget some guys, so no hard feelings k? i still love ya : )
lets see there was brett and oris the liiftie. bret,t a quiet not really in the action of partying but skiing fellow from kentucky. he had recently graduated from univ of montana. the guys tended to bash on him, but i mean it was hard not too. sometimes he would get mad at them but really at the end of the day i think he knew they didnt mean it. now ORIS. oris the lifite!! his real name was clint. maybe you can already make the connection of the nick name if not maybe you should study the femal gentalia. he was one of the older lifties, born in 1969. but he was really nice, spent a couple years in spain, from st louis and had never skiied before. he was probs onne of the biggest beaters on the mountain with a pair of black diamont mega watts. but i say that with love. he also took his ncaa basketball quite seriously.
next we have audren and blake, the french and dude from burlington vt who had a mustache that looked like a walruses, (that is not an insult but a mere observation after watching animal planet.) blake was a big, nice guy, he was on the quieter side too, he also always seemed to remind me about how young i was and how he couldnt see me hooking up with other guys " youre younger than my sister!!!" is what he always said after a couple beers,ooohhh especially infront of some hot ski patroller or ski bum mind you. then audren,ooh audren. such a cute/hot french kid from ny/long island area. sometimes he went over the line when it came to conversations for exaple. we were all sharing a bowl and he leaned over and rested his head basically on my boobs, then said, i got a bowl and boobs!!!!! i mean it was funny but really? he also was also quite considerate when he was (disreargding the small anecdote i just wrote) like if he said something and i let him know that i didnt appreciate it he would always take it back. which was nice, cuz i think he always ment it. oh yea he also spoke french which im suprised he didnt use to his advantage (i dont know about other girls but a skiier who can speak french well, oooo lala
KYLE AND JON i mean k.fred and dutrow.. if i wasnt 18 and they were 24 well, i think you might be able to figure out the ending to the sentance. kyle was from durango, actually it was caitlin dutrow and kyle who smoked with me my first hour at alta. anyway when i first met kyle he had a killer head of dreads but a gnome-ish looking mustache. but 2 weeks later he cut his hair and lost the mustache. he had the cutest cheery looking eyes ever. he also had quite the body on him too, he was a soccer player, he was also such a nice guy. he had a knack for puzzles too, he could undue any rubix cube. he was a maniac. he tried to show me his way but i one, i didnt get it and two i have no patients/abillity to solve puzzles. now jonathan dutrow, tall, with a dusty blondish tanish hair and who looked super hot with a 5 oclock shadow. he was from kansas and was another geniunely nice guy. he is a guy i really think (if i was older) i could date. anyways, he left after 4 weeks i was there to eletricute fish in the san juan river. he and a friend came to visit one weekend and i remeber skiing with them for the day. it was a really fun day. i really wish that he hadnt left so soon cuz from the time spent with him i really enjoyed his company plus he always gave me rides on the snow mobile,which is always a plus in my book.
so next im going to group into the michigan category. for these were my fellow mitten denizens. first was the anger filled, ignorant,dumb,hatelful mean bully, brandon. he was from grand haven directly across the state of michingan. a majority of us recalled him as a dumb puppy (i dont know where we got that from) or Brandom. he was always picking fights. no one liked him. we all tried to like him but he was just un happy. some one recalled him telling alti " im here to work not ski" WHAT THE FUCK MAN. the majority of us were seemingly skiing more than actually working. oh yes. he hated powder. i have no idea why he was here, well actually theres no work in michingan so i guess i can see why he came out here. long story short he got in a fight and pushed one of the foreman and was fired a week before the season ended. Next was his quiet,nice polite and complete opposite best friend sean. sean was also from the grand haven area. he was a small guy but had guns that could start world war 3 a real mighty mouse. he didnt really say much except fair enough, or good point. he was a nice guy why he was friends with brandon will remain a mystery forever. now. CAMERON HERRINGTON probably one of the coolest guys you will ever meet. curly strawberry blong hair blonde eye brows and eye lashes and uber uber uber pale skin. he was an english major from bad axe michigan and actually knew a friend of mine, under the same terms as i knew her under as well. he was smart got along with everyone. he was part of the bar gang who would come back quite drunk but always down to drink some more and smoke some more. he was also fun to ski with. i alwys remeber him telling me 'why dont you poke down that way" i dont know why but i could not stop laughing to myself repeating that quote in my head. i really hope that if i get back to michingan before i head to vermont in the fall that i get a chance that i get to hang out with him. lastly there was jay. jay was a quiet amd handsome guy from haslett michigan, close to east lansing. i remember him getting so drunk that he just completly falling out of his chair and also just talking complete nonsense. but then i also remeber myself getting plastered off the cheapest wine ever. senor carlo rossi. that night i almost ran into a creek trying to catch a frisbee. didnt handstands and back flips on the third floor hallway and managed to get a powdercord wrapped around my hands and neck and then ended up in jays lap in hysterics. some one has a picture of it. its quite funny cuz im in just the wierdest position ever. anyways. jay was sweet. and hes going to pick cherries some where near travese city. oh yea i completly forgot about justin! my fellow rochester hills homie! it was so wierd that lived in the same town as me, went to my rival highschool and hung around the same spots i did. he was nice guy, and cooked a mean meal, breakfast lunch and dinner. he also had a cat. that he needed to spay. every other week she was in heat. i remeber we would all be chillin in his room and then we'd hear his cat going crazy in her carrier. he'd respond " oh shes just in heat" i wonder if ill see him around the ROC when i go back. i think he told me he was going to some culinary school in vegas.
now stizzle! steezy steve! he was probably the most consistanly high guy up there. he would get so high he would just be dumb. he also is a bad speller. but stizzle was the shit. he was fun to ski with cuz he was INSANE. for instance. straight lining glory hole. towards the end of the season he decided to become a free heeler. at first he was terrified dropping the knee but grew to love it. to bad he fucked up his MCL. i hope he gets taken care of. all in all stizzle was always down to smoke and ski.
CJ STORAKO,hailing from jersey/philly. probably the room that i hung out the most in. he roomed with jay and i got along with him really well so it was always good to go in there and just chill. CJ was the best at telling stories. he would tell you the peoples names, basically he would tell you the story as if you knew all his friends and the situations. i dont know why but i liked that about him. he was also always down for a bowl. he probably was the guy who gave me the most free ganj somtimes i felt bad i mean he always offered. anyway, people always thought we had something going one but really he was just chill to hang out with. oh yes his mustache. it was probably one of the most sleeziest looking mustaches ever. if you know of pioret. it looked like that but not curled. just kinda droopy? im not sure how to describe other that creepy, but it was a good stache. i think he was proud of it too.
ok well im done for now. il write some more later.
