Sports reporter -- Eagle-Vail, Colorado

And if you can't ski, Colorado is not the place to learn. Their bunny hills are other state's black diamonds.

 

If NY State can have a blind Governor then a ski town newspaper can certainly have a sports reporter that can't ski. I can ski but can't write, I wonder if they would consider me.

Eagle Vail is a great area. If I were young with no responsibilities I would jump at a chance to work at a paper like that because of the skiing - the best in the U.S .

If you don't ski it's probably not worth it to struggle.

 

Nah, you can still learn. You can learn enough to be adequate (which is all I assume you need to be to cover things) in a day or two.

 

You have several ski areas around, so you can always find one that is a little easier. A-Basin can be good at times, so can Copper. Both have relatively easy beginner bunny/green slopes that most can pick up after a few days. I would think that a pass to the ski area would be included. If not, then this job would be extremely hard to live with.

 

This could be a very exciting job if Kobe ever comes back to Vail.

 

As I recall this was the paper that tried at first to put a happy spin on the whole Kobe visit to the Vail Valley at first.

 

I'll agree. I met Chris at a state volleyball tournament, and he was indeed a good guy.

 

Isn't there a comedy festival in Vail every year, too?

 

I ran into the same problem here. I actually got offered a job at the paper, but couldn't accept it because while being in Vail sounds like fun, I don't think it would be all that great if I wasn't eating every day and couldn't actually afford skis. I couldn't find anything - even studio apartments - for under $950/month.

 

This is the same place where Kobe had "consenual?" intercourse with a 19-year-old, right?

 

By the same token of NY's blind governor, a skiing town could also have a sports reporter who has affairs at the Days Inn.

 

How would they be able to afford the room in prime season.
