It was obvious to me that CJ with her catering and food and beverage background was perfect for this position, ... And when Janice Lewandowski (Facilities Manager) retired, the spot was there.

Some may wonder why we're not staying open another week, but when we start to see less than 400 skiers a day we begin to lose money.

This gives our season pass holders an extra opportunity to ski. All the Nevada schools will be out next week. It's more of a benefit for the community than tourists.

Every fire department in town wants some of that money. But we're not giving up our allocation, period.

I think it is time for the community to start really working collaboratively. When the (IVGID) board of trustees hired me they asked me to get involved in the community - and I'm passionate about being involved in the community.

I'm looking forward to seeing how many additional charities we will have encouraged to collaborate by 2007.
