Snow Skiing Questions

The following questions were posted in Yahoo's 'Snow Skiing' category:

How to get a job in a ski town?

Full question:

I'm graduating from college in 3 years instead of 4, so I'm looking to be a ski bum for a year in Colorado. I was just looking for a bit of direction when it came to snagging a job in somewhere like Dillon, Silverthorne, Frisco or Vail. Thanks!

Best answer:

Easiest jobs to get are in the hotels; room cleaners are the most in demand job posting at any resort followed by bar and restaurant waite staff, lift operations(chair holders) and hill maintenance(groomers and blowers) are next and earn a decent wage, ski instructors are usually the lowest paid employees because it's an easy position for them to fill. Working at the resort has ups and downs. You get free skiing but are working when the hill is open so don't get to ski all that much. Your in the middle of all the action but don't earn enough to take part in that action, see what I mean. I dated a girl while in Japan who had a lucrative baby-sitting business going. She skied every morning then took care of kids in the afternoon and evening so that mommy and daddy could enjoy their vacation. You'ld be surprised at how much people will pay to get away from their kids. You could try that route or look for an au pere position that provides room & board in a really nice Vail or Aspen chalet Often you'll better off checking classifieds and finding a job in town/off resort that way you're not playing where you work which sometimes leads to trouble

advice for carless driving ticket in silverthorne, colorado? or in general for this case...?

Full question:

I was on a work trip in Silverthorne and considering it was 5:30 in the morning I didn't hear the directions given to us in order to get to work. Me and a few coworkers were driving around trying to find the place and I ended up having to do a U-turn to get back to the wendys I needed to take a right at. There's a light at the wendy's and at the time it was red. I was heading towards the light and made an abrupt stop. There was an SUV going straight through the light to go where I was about to turn. When I make right turns I have this habit of inching up, but in a safe way so that I obviously wont hit any cars that have to go in front of me. So, I was pulled over for careless driving... I didn't run into any cars, I obviously stopped otherwise i'd have hit that car... and she had the nerve to tell me she pulls over atleast one of my companies workers a week? What should I do...? I was not in a company vehicle, only my own car.. so no worries on the company firing me for any reason. i work retail, Old Navy to be specific.. and she asked where I was going and this is what I told her. She said, "you Old Navy people are crazy, I pull atleast one of you guys over a week." I know she can't 'know' we're from Old Navy by just the way we drive, so it can't be a biased stop. I just want to know the quickest, easiest, least painful way to minimize this charge and possibly not add points onto my record.

Best answer:

#1 forget the adjudication thing that your first answer mentioned. It really does nothing for you..... it sounds good but if you look into it it will be of no help in the long run and will only serve to piss the judge off. The charge may be dropped in a way but for the purposes of insurance and employer background checks the offense still stands just as if you had been straight out convicted. First of all the habit of inching up thing.... quit it! The laws says a FULL stop. What happened was maybe tha the cop saw the Uturn and didn't like the way you took it. The abrupt stop would beg the question as to why you were going so fast to need to do this. Then add in your brake lights going on and off made it look like you were in a big hurry. The officers perception was that that you were closer to the SUV than you think? Was there any vehicles behind the SUV and how fast did you pull out? But it could be argued. I too inch up a bit sometimes just to get a better line of sight and to be absolutely sure that all is clear. It was 5:30 in the morning right? So how light out was it so how can the officer be sure? Sounds like you were driving a company vehicle. Honestly it would be well worth you getting a lawyer. You know that your license could be suspended. You do realize that if convicted you will be paying extra money on insurance for quite some time? Your companies insurance could be effected. Odds are slim but your company might be forced to drop you so theirs does not go up. If you switch jobs it will show on your record and this could be a serious issue for you. If you happen to get another (it happens even if careful) it will be considered a second and then you really have issues. So probably best to spend the money now than pay much more later. The lawyer might get it dropped by casting doubt. Or make a deal so that you plead guilty to some lesser or no big deal charge like "improper turn" or something. A careless in these circumstances sounds iffy.She says she pulls over your company vehicles at least one day a week? Can she prove it but what bearing does that have on you? You have witnesses and she has to admit this in court. So she has some sort of bias toward your companies vehicles? That little nugget will go a long way. A lawyer could explain that you were targeted and the charge was harsh. A lawyer could include in his deal making that you could sue or your company can. Your end is your livelyhood would be destroyed. So speak to the company as well. He could also explain to the prosecution that he will have you out on appeal in 15 minutes. That means the state/county has to spend way more money on this and they have to justify expenses. Better to let you go and spend money on those clearly guilty. It sounds like a lot for a careless diving but a lawyer will just tie it all up..... guilty or not. Even a chaep one will be able to do it. Make sure that you get directions or an address next time!

Activities in Silverthorne, CO in November?

Full question:

I'm going to Silverthorne, CO the first week of November with some friends and family and was looking for some ideas for activities that are affordable. Is it too early for winter activities? A lot of resorts say they open in early November. We have a large age range of people from late 20's, a toddler, 50s and 60s.

Best answer:

It really depends on the weather. If it snows early the resorts will be open. However, last year, it barely snowed until after thanksgiving and many of the resorts did not open until late November. Arapahoe Basin is usually the first resort to open and I've skiied there as early as late October in previous years. If there isn't much snow, hiking is a great option.

Name of the Restaurant in Summit County that you have to hike to?

Full question:

I saw a report on one of the news channels in Denver about a restaurant that is only open during the summer months that you have to hike to and it looked really fun but now I can't remember the name. I think it was outside of Dillon/Silverthorne. They only take reservations and there are only a couple options for dinner. You meet at the trailhead and hike about a 1/2 mile to the destination. Can someone please help me? I'm trying to book it for my 3 year anniversary.

Best answer:

Please ask your question in the Denver section. Very few people in the Los Angeles area would have any knowledge of things going on in Colorado.

Directions to a Destination?

Full question:

Can someone please give me directions from 530 Silverthorne Ln. Silverthorne, CO to 233 Bridger Trail, Winter Park, CO? I tried a few websites, but I couldn't get directions. Thank you for your answers. I tried going to Mapquest, but I couldn't get directions. I also tried RandMcNally and Yahoo. Yes, it is in Winter Park, CO. It is the location of the 2007 HGTV Dream Home.

Best answer:

There is a Bridger Trail in Boulder, Co and a Bridger Trail in Ward, Co, but none in Winter Park ,Co. Could it be misspelled or is it a brand new street? Are you sure it is in Winter Park? I used Live Search, which i find to be by far the best site...and there is in such street listed in Winter Park. Just saw your new info about the Dream Home...so it must be in a NEW development that is not yet mapped in any of the services. If you can get a nearby intersection or name of the development company, that might help. Ok, i went to the HGTV Dream Home site, and theyhafve no "CONtact us" feature...looks like they want to keep it a secret. You could try calling a real estate agent in Winter Park...they would probably be aware of the location. i am sure this location is just too new to be on the map sites yet.

Java Help Part Two, Please.?

Full question:

I am working on a program that has a user input their full name, first and last, and converts it to last to first. Example: taylor silverthorne Returns: Silverthorne, Taylor. However, for some reason it's taking the second letter of the first name and replacing the first letter of the last name. So instead of Silverthorne, Taylor, it comes out to Ailverthorne, Taylor. Here's the code: System.out.print ("What is your full name? "); String name = scan.nextLine(); //Formats name from last to first int name1 = name.indexOf(" "); int name2 = name.length(); String one = name.substring(0,1); String one1 = name.substring(1,name1); String one2 = one.toUpperCase()+one1.toLowerCase(); String two = name.substring(name1,name2); String two1 = name.substring(1,2); String two2 = two.substring(2); String two3 = two1.toUpperCase()+two2.toLowerCase(); What's the problem? Is my index off?

Best place to move in Colorado?

Full question:

So I'm looking into Colorado as a place to move in a few months. My boyfriend and I are trying to narrow down where would be the best place to go. What we need is an area best suited to our needs. So below is a list of preferences in which we're hoping to use to narrow down a place. The towns we've looked into are: Durango Ft. Collins Silverthorne What we'd like: Artsy Town (We're both in the arts as careers) "Small town feel". You know, friendly to newcomers, easy to get around ect Lots of Hiking Trails/Nature/Outdoor possibilities Good College Aged Population. (We're both 19) Dog Friendly Good Views Affordable (As in average rent of no more then 900/month for a good area) Or a good housing market.

Best answer:

I think Boulder is a great place for what you're looking for. It's a very artsy/musical atmosphere. My Uncles goes to CSU which is in Boulder (so there will be college aged students all around) and I went to visit him and it is a very cute and fun town to be in. It is right by the mountains so you have a beautiful view and there's a ton of trails around. Fort Collins is a great town, but I think for what you're looking for, Boulder would be the best choice. good luck(:

Setting up java classes, help!?

We have only been talking about classes for a few days now, I'm confused.

Best answer:

ok create a new method like this public String getSymbol() { return symbol; } this gives back the symbol and public void setSymbol(String symbol) { this.symbol = symbol; } this sets the symbol

Uhm, i want to install a faster processor(but of course still under the Intel's Atom series) than the Atom N270 1.60GHz (single-core, already installed) on it.

Best answer:

Hello, Go for it. You must have the skills to do it. Let me know how it goes. I am curious on how you got a 'ragtop' on the laptop. Does it have 'spinners' also..? Generally, most laptops CPU/GPU's aren't changeable. You are also going to need to see about the BIOS also. I would suggest tweaking your system performance with this guide @ http://www.blackviper.com/

I plan on moving to CO early next spring, can anyone tell me a little about cities near the rockies?

Full question:

I was considering Silverthorne, Evergreen or places just off the base of the mountains and not too far from Denver. I want to live very close to the mountains. Can anyone please help and provide what they know as well as perhaps prices of condos, town homes, or apartments? It is me, my mom and my sister moving out there, preferably I hope to find a two bedroom. I was considering Silverthorne, Evergreen or places just off the base of the mountains and not too far from Denver, my mom plans to get a job in Denver. I want to live very close to the mountains and not to close to the shining lights of the city. Can anyone please help and provide what they know as well as perhaps prices of condos, town homes, or apartments in Colorado? It is me, my mom and my sister moving out there, preferably I hope to find a two bedroom.

Best answer:

You mention not too far from Denver, so I assume you may be planning on working or going to school in the Denver Metro area. That will rule out Silverthorne since it is well into the mountains on the West side of the Eisenhauer Tunnel; which means it is a LONG commute (over an hour in good weather) to Denver. Evergreen is probably much more realistic and is a beautiful little Mountain Town about 40 minutes to the West of Denver. Apartments are rare up there and homes can be pretty expensive to rent and many are probably much larger than what you want, or so old and run down you do not want to rent them. It is an upscale expensive area to live in! (I have lived there for 25 years and know this first hand.) Most of the Townhouses to rent go pretty quickly (and there are definitely more of those than Apartments), but again, compared to areas closer to Denver are much more expensive. The other issue to consider about any of the towns in the Moutains is WINTER and SNOW. They get much more snow, and winter can be long up there since they can get snow as early as late August, and it is not uncommon to see snow into early June. However, there are many nice communities much nearer to Denver, near to the Mountains, but not in the mountains, and that have plenty of Apartments that are reasonably priced. You also have less problem dealing with driving in the winter and all the snow (it does snow, just not as much). I would look at places like Golden, Lakewood, Littleton, Arvada, & Westminster. All of those are great places to live with affortable apartments that are nice. As for cost, it really can vary a lot for 2 bedroom apartments. I would estimate as little as $550.00 a month for the not very big ones to over $1200.00 a month for larger ones with a lot more ammenities. If you write to the Denver Chamber of Commerce and tell them you are relocating, they will send you an apartment guide if you ask for it. Also you could try just googling Apartments in each of those cities and I'm sure it would get you to some of the ones that are renting presently. Good Luck with the move.
