Recreation bonus? Discounted lift tickets or something?

Still ... Colorado mountains ... ah, places I could live.

 

The rec bonus kicks into effect after two years and you basically get reimbursed for the purchase of a recreational item of some sort (like a kayak or skis or something) up to a certain amount. The company also works with employees on ski pass financing (although I think the deadline's passed for this season). We do, though, have passes for the local mountain here (Sunlight) that are available to anyone. We used to have a medallion, but that's gone now with the crap economy.
