Beaver Creek opens tomorrow and we are pretty excited about it! We begin the day at 830am. Need to get our 'uniforms' on. They provided us with Winter Jackets, a vest, and snow pants that are apparently warm enough for us. So that's good! We will be wearing Red and sporting some very slimming helmets the resort has provided us with. We got to pick out which one we wanted and Vail Resorts paid the bill, $160 retail! So it was sweet to get a really nice brand new helmet to wear on the mountain! Not sure if we get to keep them or not after the season.
We have a better idea of what we'll be doing: For part of the day we will be scanning lift tickets, and the other part we will be checking in with guests. Making sure they're ok, if they need ANY sort of help whatsoever. Our resort is TOP OF THE LINE when it comes to resorts. Infact, the average family spends $32,000 A WEEK there!! On hotel rooms(avg$2000 a night) and ski lessons ($600 per hour), lift tickets($100 per day), food, transportation, etc... I was floored when I heard that! Our resort also recieved #1 in guest services for the last 3 years out of over 400 resorts. Pretty much our job is sucking up to the guests and making sure they're having 'The Ultimate Experience of a Lifetime"(vail resorts motto). Pretty crazy though!
Nina and I also found a church out here. We're pretty excited about it! Nina was skeptical at first, but I definetly felt the Holy Spirit through their not-so-perfect worship. I've been spoiled by great Worship at The Chapel. :D I talked to the student pastor's wifte after service on Sunday to see if I can get connected with the HS ministry somehow. I plan on meeting with the student pastor next week, which I am pretty excited about. There's talk about a snowboard ministry, which will be SA-WEET! We also chatted up the 'information center' to where we left our information for a single women's small group, starting up in a couple weeks. Hopefully we hear back from that!
Still continuing to get acclaimated, and to meet new people.
Nina and I will be working on Thursday and feel that we'll celebrate Thanksgiving on Sunday. As we have Sundays and Mondays off. Soooooooo,
We Miss you, and Happy Thanksgiving!
