Mary in her element

Mary is enjoying her role as lead in guest services for Ski Co on Snowmass Mtn. The top photo shows her arriving back home from work at lunchtime complete with 2 way radio, parking permits, yellow parking vest and kitted out for - 12 F temperatures. She loves it . Also shown are some of her charges at the recent international dinner for her department - a lot of varied nationalities. She keeps them up to the mark !

Other 2 photos - one from the village market looking up to the partly completed new base village and the ski slopes beyond and the other is of the view from our deck looking westward .

It's been a fabulous skiing season with almost as much snow as last year . Powder skiing to die for .

Bus driving going OK albeit some pretty challenging conditions. With economy as it is ( and plunging pound against dollar which materially affects our position ) , we're lucky to have jobs . I continue to revel in driving all day amid such spectacular scenery and with ( mainly ) interesting and almost always grateful passengers - and I always play good classical music on my bus . About one in ten comments favourably - what nice music they say !

Already planning next bike trip - prob Texas hill country - in Austin area.
