They're gathered in circles chanting away; the skies overhead, a dark
shade of gray. Zombie-crazed sliders wearing Verticals and Halloween dress,

*Teach Skiing and Snowboarding. You Don't Have To Be Austrian!
Ever dreamed of being a ski or snowboard instructor, sporting a killer tan
and sliding with the grace of a gazelle being chased over the Serengeti
by a pride of starving lions?
Believe it or not, you can make that dream come true and you don't
have to work full time. In fact, the majority of ski and snowboard
instructors work weekends and holidays. Free sliding is just the start.
How about instruction from the greatest sliders on the planet, and
a chance to give back to a sport you love, while making money!

to ski or snowboard, wait until you get a chance to clinic
with professional instructors. Get all the info
below in the Alpine Meadows section or go to www.skialpine.com.

Traditionally the first open, the mild weather the last couple of weeks

to get the slopes ready for an early November opening.
