No chance. He's not a good enough liar to work in THAT marketing department. To work in SR marketing and sales, you need to be able to look your customers straight in the face and flat out lie to them about weather, snow conditions, natural snowfall, wind holds, and the general state of the molehill. Tom does not qualify for that job. He's way too honest. Even at his best, he could never turn 2 inches of wet slop into 57 inches of powder. Not his gig.

I'd like to see him end up out west somewhere. A place that truly appreciates the job he's capable of doing, even in the face of an employer who does not let him communicate.

Good luck Tom. Keep us posted as to where you end up.

That was truly a sick day. The really crazy thing about that day was that while OZ had tons of snow Southridge had NCP...but it didn't matter. As MB said, we got the goods on both Fri and Sat. That Sat was early track for the Message Board, and MaiTai, ML, JonnySC and I shredded OZ that early AM.

On the flip side, I will give Killington some props. Watched the Dew Tour (DVR'd) last night, and that place is pretty cool. I'd really like to get up there sometime during the week with someone who knows the place...I've only skied there once...got to think there are some goods to get got up there.

Off to the Loaf this weekend with the Freestyle Posse...can't wait.

I don't know Tom, but wish him well.

Looks like WMS and Nubee show up at same time, coincidence?? I think not. Marketing team, ignore this silly stuff....it was posted to get a rise out of you...I would suggest ignoring.

As for the 2" of slop. Me, Astro, AstroJr, MsAstro and Astrofriend hiked from Aurora up to. OZ (Jordan lift was closed that Friday) and had two great runs down emerald city...I know I am not the tallest guy but the snow was mid-thigh for me. And the following morning, those tracks were completely filled in and we repeated the same runs. It was raining at SR put puking snow in OZ. I don't know about 57" but it was more snow than I had ever skied at SR.
