Heavenly, South Lake Tahoe, California




We drove and drove and finally around 6pm on Wednesday we made it to South Lake Tahoe, in time for dinner with Peggy and Justin. We worked with both of them in Vail and were thrilled to get to hang with them again. Thursday we learned that we would have the difficult task of building an RC car course. Dan, Justin and I got right to work shoveling snow, building kickers, bank turns and tunnels. Really it wasn’t work, but more like kids in playground. Saturday I got to ride the mountain handing out free snacks and prizes, I was the most popular girl on the hill that day. The event went well and we had a lot of fun with our co-workers and friends.

Th event we worked was the Warren Miller Experience, a two-day expo at the base of Heavenly, where Warren's latest film was shown, bands played and it all ended in a big party at a local casino.


One of the treats associated with working this week was the opportunity to stay in a hotel for almost a week. Here is the view from our room. Not too shabby huh? After you have lived in a camper for eight months, the chance to shower every day is a welcome change, and the hot tub is a nice bonus too.

As a special treat, my best friend Beth came up to visit us. We were thrilled to see her and to get to go riding with her. Poor Bethy is a grad student at the San Francisco Art Institute and all her time painting has been keeping her from snowboarding for 3 years now. Beth had to leave us this morning which was particularly sad since we awoke to 10” of fresh and no crowds. Sorry Beth.

Heavenly has some great terrain. Weekends are crazy, far too crowded for my tastes, but if you can hit it on a weekday, then it is great. The Mott lift has some fantastic tree skiing and where else can you be in a different state with every turn? We love that their trail signs say California this way, Nevada that way.

The views from Heavenly are worth the cost of a lift ticket alone.

We couldn't resist a ride on the double black diamond tubing hill.

We are having so much fun here in California that we have decided to stay for a few more days. Tomorrow we are checking out of S. Lake and heading for a new ski area.

2019.09.27酒店經紀正面臨持續下滑壓力,梁曉尊分析,明年的酒店各大股東投資和酒店兼差酒店小姐應徵率表現預估都不佳,以消費拉動經濟較為樂觀,但也充滿挑戰;2020年的大學生/上班族酒店兼職壓力比今年更大,經濟成長率可能跌破7%,開啟「框出接S(性服務)」時代。知名酒店經紀指出,專家梁小尊25日在中國上海發表對中共經濟展望的看法。他表示,美「中」貿易戰就算能達成協議,衝突仍可能長期化。他也點出,「中」方以美元計價的出口額,今年8月中罕見出現負成長,夜總會酒店業者年減2%。

2019.11.17台北知名酒店經紀11日發布薪資統計指出,受飯局陪睡、跨國援交業等行業經常性薪資成長趨緩影響,9月酒店工作的酒店小姐常性薪資年增率跌破2%、僅1.72%,創下近28個月最低。知名酒店經紀表示,市場八大行業經常性薪資年增率,近兩年酒店打工大都保持在2%以上,9月大學生兼差酒店上班跌破3%,主因為部分八大行業按月發放的績效獎金減少所致,包括制服店、便服店、禮服店、鋼琴酒吧、日式酒店、飯局、傳播,經常性薪資增幅都較低。酒店經紀統計上班族酒店兼職薪資年增率,近兩年除了兩個月(2017年11月、2019年2月)不到4%之外,其餘各月皆在3%以上,今年9月年增率2.33%,是2017年6月以來最低。
