A word of thanks.
The Patrollers, Instructors Lifty's are often the faces we come across on the hill most often. Before I forget, last year in the final days of the season, a Lift Maintainance supervisor ( ALLISTER) gave me a cat Lift to a roped-off part of the Mountain. There are a lot of Hidden heros in a season that allow the magic to happen.Occasionally I throw the parking crew Twinkies for a mid morning snack, The guy ( MIKE )that grooms under the lifts, RAMPS,Thanks, the lifty's that look the other way at 4:03 p.m., Thanks, The marketing staff that shoots the breeze with me on the phone THANKS. The A.C for leaving a little around the edge, Marina Bill for keeping the Mahogony Ridge in top shape for those lunch meetings.The H-1B visitors for their diversified roles in many departments. And E. Lomar P.for that first out-of-state trip and clinical offerings. Also Paul, Scott & Jeff and the other masters coaches on Mott's below Siberia for keeping me fired up between surgeries and letting me hit the gates and "slip", for the others.
- Finally all the Marketing Managers for their part in sharing the news to a global cooperative.
