Extinction of the species "homo skii tecto carens"

It seems that I am to regoin the ranks of a certified ski bum. Yes, the epitomy of 30 years of a cultural phenomenon so great that many people wish to forsake their well paying jobs in suburbia's across the country just to spend a winter in a small town with large amounts of booze and skiing.

Or something like that. As the bullwheel turns, the ultimate drama of a Coloradan, also known as my life. I know my self involvment and importance, (who is after all the center of the known universe) has much to do with this, however I can not for the life of me understand why I just cant seen to escape the continuing culture of no money, no women, turns and booze. Sweet sweet acohol. Fresh fresh powder.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I may be going back to work for a ski area, namely Crested Butte, that soulless place of moronic managers and owners. (not that that is any differant of any other resort let me tell you). You see, I have gained an understanding of ski areas. Despite my only having worked for two resorts, they both fundamentally work the same way. Now I dont want to get into the hows and whys of their perpetual stupidity, only that these small resorts all think they are Vail or Aspen. (which coincidentally no living thing with intelligence has been found in either valley those towns are in for at least 20 years). My harsh view of ski areas is a derivative of living in Colorado for my entire life, coupled with a growing familiarity with them due to my seeminly unwilling nack of getting caught up in them.

So as I was saying, I may soon be employed (the good part) to Crested Butte as a lifty (the bad part). But at least it is money to pay rent and bills. sort of. Said ski bumness is the draging factor in this. You see, the ski bum is a dying breed. Some could argue that is has already become extinct during the great boom of the '80s. However, like many species, they had to adapt, gone are the days of resort hopping without a job and getting in turns at all the resorts. Now it is become a one resort species. The free rangers are near gone. Yet the one resort breed with a job has largly replaced and become the dominant species of ski bum. Yes, the ski bum has changed, and I am one, however that makes you feel, I dont care, try living for a while.

Don't get me wrong, it is a great lifestyle, until you want something, anything. I love the life, hate the pay I guess you could say. Anyway, the job search isnt going well.
