Life as a Lift Operator

My time as a lift operator at the Kelly Canyon Ski Resort will soon be coming to a close. I saw this job as a stepping stone toward finding placement next winter season with one of the larger ski establishments in the area such as Targhee, Jackson Hole Resort, or Big Sky.

The last day of the season will bring a mixture of emotion that can be best described as "bitter sweet." Soon, the snow that has brought me so much joy on the slopes will melt, and that same snow will join the river systems which will bring joy through the means of rod, reel, fly.
