yah seriously, boo hoo, if you were an instructor than you made a huge mistake from the beginning...i would rather do lifts again than instruct, and lifts are fucking miserable, but at least you get a steady paycheck and aren't at constant risk of getting fired because they over hired for a tourism-dependant department.
im doing yellow jackets in vail this year and it's going to be the best job ive ever had. all i do is ski all day and help people it out...oh, and i got a dollar-an-hour raise from last year...i seriously love working for VR
