What can you say to that?

On Saturday I was doing my usual Powder Mountain ticket checker duties and like I usually do, I asked one gentleman who was wearing a Senior price pass, "How are you doing today?"

His quick response was, "I'll tell you how I'm doing, I'm a rich f*cking Texan! That's how I'm doing."

"Well sir, we're just glad you came to Ogden and Powder Mountain to spend your money!" What else could I possibly say to that?

Turns out Jerry, (that's what his jacket said) was a really nice, if somewhat profane fellow from Ft. Worth. We chatted every time he and his wife came around to the lift where I was working. I even gave him chocolate- twice, and both times he promised to put me in his will! I reminded him to be sure to spell my name right.

Its guests like Jerry that make working on the mountain fun and worthwhile.
