Two winters came and went without even getting to unlock the doors; then, on the third season we unlocked the doors and I had a blast, working with the customers, tuning equipment and working my 10th season in the lift department at the AZ Snowbowl. I was now completely engulfed in the ski industry and I loved it. Five seasons went by and on the sixth, we decided to sell the business, it was too up and down, mother nature was too fickle.
