I recall driving a moped home, 8 miles away down busy roads, while both—drunk on gas station cans of energy drink / alcohol, and high on more weed than I’d ever smoked in my life prior to that moment, at the ripe age of 14. I don’t remember the drive at all, except for a small insignificant moment where headlights from another car glimmered on the asphalt in front of me.

I definitely got a trespassing ticket in my youth for trying to dig a quarter pipe / hip into a bank on the side of a run after the mountain had closed for the year.

Fortunately, I was employed by that mountain a couple years later, so when we build that jump again we got snowmobile tow ins.

A large amount of ski resorts in the US operate on public land and lease it from the federal government.

Yellow ikeas are from ikea

No one can live on $25K in a state where income tax can be 12%.

180 school days @ 6 hours per day is 1,080 hours.

$25k / 1,080 is $23 per hour.

That is ~50% more than the minimum wage for the state @ $15.50

This is a tough problem to solve.

That's why I used quotations around 'living wage'.

Not even a “living wage” the classified workers want to raise the minimum pay from $25k to $36k. $3000 a month isn’t living anywhere near LA. Good for my fellow teachers supporting these essential workers.

Please help me

I think this is ASTERISK the property has to be on public land, which quite a few of Colorado's resorts are.

Maybe their God is upset with all their bullshit

Lift ticket only covers lifts, not access to the publicly owned land, which a lot of resorts are built on.

You still have to have an uphill access pass and must be skiing/snowboarding. The uphill access closes after 10 as well.

It's in the first paragraph of the article. I know you can read. I believe in you.

70K plus full benefits is perfectly liveable for LA. Teachers with more years under their belt are clearing $100K.

No, read the article.

Its the other workers.

It blows my mind how I was so stupid that I would get behind my car fucked up. I would never, ever do that now. And it was a normal thing for me/my friends back then. We didn't even think twice.

Yeah, that’s true, there’s no safe time to do that. I was more thinking that during regular hours there might have been someone to stop them.

Hells' kitchen is nothing like a real commercial kitchen, unless your kitchen is a set i suppose.

Who's striking?

If they went down a half pipe in a sled or tube, that's pretty insane. It wouldn't have been a question of being there at the appropriate time as any time would be inappropriate to do so.

You can zig-zag to slow your travel downhill, even while still going fast across the hill, on skies and a snowboard. You can't really do that very easily on a sled or tube.
