Wow, I can't believe another month has gone by~ it's almost the end of November! I am happy to say that after a few weeks of frustration, I am settled in to an apartment (ensuite, hooray!) with three jobs lined up. When we arrived in Colorado it was very exhausting moving from guesthouse to guesthouse, trying to keep it under $50 per night... all while trying to apply and interview for job (and get to know the area!). It was crazy stressful for me, which was NOT good since I was able to really relax and enjoy life this past summer. However, the long looooong hours spent sitting in Starbucks perusing Craigslist and job websites finally paid off. I am a proud employee of the following places: Beaver Creek Landing (private residences) filling in for the front desk manager while she takes her weekend break; The Alpine Club at Arrowhead being a member services agent (code for doing all sorts of stuff at the clubhouse, kind of like a hostess), and Splendido at the Chateau, an extremely high end restaurant for the ritzy people who can afford to own at these condos. It's expensive to live around here, but the payoff will be amazing I'm sure. Vail Mountain has already opened (it's about 15 mins down the road, and my Vail Resorts free ski pass works at tons of different mountains around here) and Beaver Creek Mountain opens this Wednesday! So I'd better get some ski boots to go with my amazing new skis! :)
The place I'm living is called Avon, Colorado. It's the small town at the base of Beaver Creek Mountain. (It's waaay too expensive to live on the mountain). I'm renting a room in a 3-bedroom apartment and I have two cool roomies, Karen and Matt. I've also enjoyed meeting my new coworkers at Splendido- it's gonna be such a fun place to work with great perks.
Here are a few pictures... I'll upload more when I have time.
