New Mountain, little time
Thursday, January 31st, 2008So far Vail has been cool. I am a chalet host which means that I have guests come and stay with me for two weeks at a time. Most from the U.K.. I meet them after jet lag, feed them breakfast and dinner for the duration they are here, and then wish them well when they go.
The cooking is good fun. I try and figure out what people like in the first couple days and then have a bunch of good dinners after they go sking.
I’ve only been up on the mountain a few times since the job includes planning meals, budgeting for the meals, and getting the food for three days at a time. I get one day off but a bunch of time during the day where I can multi-task and work on my plans.
I’ve been going over to Breck to hang out with the people there that I met when I started this job. It’s a fun town and I miss it but haven’t given up on Vail. Just a different town and a different scene. On the surface I don’t dig the fur and the glitz. But there are a ton of international people here and I am hearing more and more Spanish around town.
Ecuador in the spring!!
