To get a job right now at a ski area, about all you need to do is walk up and say, “I’ll show up.” The big Thanksgiving holiday snows brought nearly 80 inches to some mountains in the high Sierra and caught so many ski areas and resorts by surprise that many are now scrambling for seasonal workers. In fact, several ski areas list themselves online as “urgently hiring.” As winter ramps up, the annual ski industry staffing spree will produce thousands of jobs in the region. The National Weather Service has forecast another big wave of snow, this one warmer and wetter, for this weekend. By then, at least 18 of 21 significant ski areas in the Sierra Nevada and Tahoe Basin will be open, with the rest by mid-December. Most plan to operate more lifts and open additional runs and terrain as more snow arrives. To do so, they need warm bodies. Vail Resorts, for … [Read more...] about Need a job?

No one did more to alter the consciousness of the generation that came of age in the 1960s than Augustus Owsley Stanley (who passed away March 13, 2011). Long before the Summer of Love drew thousands of hippies to Haight-Ashbury, Owsley was already an authentic underground folk hero, revered throughout the counterculture for making the purest form of LSD ever to hit the street. Yet today, at seventy-two, he is all but forgotten. Almost forty years to the day after he blew minds at the Monterey International Pop Festival in June 1967, with a brand-new batch of “Monterey Purple,” Owsley is checking out of a motel in nearby Carmel. Three years ago, he underwent extensive radiation for throat cancer, losing thirty pounds in the process. He is moving so slowly that someone from the front desk comes to the room to ask if he ever intends to leave. Ignoring the inquiry, Owsley roots through his bags for a large state-of-the-art conical burr grinder and a white funnel-shaped device … [Read more...] about Owsley Stanley: The King of LSD

Avery felt out of place at Away. Like many of the executives at the popular direct-to-consumer luggage brand, she’d gone to an Ivy League college, worked at a popular startup, and honed an intense work ethic that set her apart from the pack. But the higher-ups, who were almost all white and straight, still never gave her the time of day. “It was very clear who was in the clique,” she says. Originally, Avery had joined because of the brand’s popularity — the hard-shell suitcases were everywhere: in overheads, luggage carousels, subway ads — but she also wanted to believe in the mission. Away promised a lifestyle of inclusion and nice vacations. It was also founded by two women (one a person of color) who sought to run a globally minded business. “In my mind, it’s a trivial product but the brand is more than just luggage,” Avery says. “It’s about travel.” As the months went by and she got a closer glimpse at the … [Read more...] about Emotional baggage
