Late For A Very Important Date!

Hello all,

It's already fall and I have yet to post an entry! For the month of September I am working full time and in school full time, on top of trying to find a new place to live by the weekend - YIKES! I just haven't had time to sit and relax much less reflect on my summer!

I was a Parks Worker for the Town of Breckenridge this summer and it was by far the best job I've ever had. Four 6:00am - 4:30pm shifts outside in the beautiful weather followed by three days off. It was pretty awesome to get paid to be at the town's festivities all summer.

And of course, my summer also consisted of a lot of outdoor activities, from zip lining, to hiking, to dirtbiking.

All in all though, I'd have to say the most exciting part of my summer was welcoming my two Great Pyrenees / Anatolian Shepherd puppies into my life. They are brothers (Huey and Hank) and the loves of my life.

 

But alas, fall is already here!! It came aweful early this summer, but I suppose that's for a lot of reasons. I'm not getting the itch to ski yet, I always enjoy the moment. Fall for fall, summer for summer, winter for winter... It's too beautiful not to. I found a free day this past weekend to take a drive down Independence Pass and spend the day in Aspen with some friends and my boyfriend.

 

I took some photos around Breck this morning. There was snow on the peaks and it was in the lower 30's. It's very prevalent that winter is on it's way!

I'm going to try to be a little better about posting the rest of the month, but just in case... I always find time to post a photo or two a day to my Instagram. If you have the iPhone/Droid app, my name is aligee_ , otherwise you can check out my album here! You can always see where I am or what I'm up to. All of the above photos are posted to my Instagram as well! http://instacanv.as/aligee_

ABasin Closing Weekend and Summer Internship

Ahhh... The first day of "summer". And it's just like Colorado to kick it off with a morning blizzard. *sigh*

This past weekend was closing time for Arapahoe Basin, the last standing ski resort in Colorado. I've gotta hand it to them; For one of the worst snow seasons in 20 years, it was pretty impressive that they were able to stay open into May. I spent my day there Saturday celebrating Cinco De Mayo and the One-Year anniversary of Phunkshun Wear. Phunkshun Wear is a new company I'm interning for, which I'll touch on later. Arapahoe Basin also had their annual Huck Rock and Roll slopestyle jam, as well as live music, a pig roast, and awesome spring skiing.

Anyway, Phunkshun Wear is a facemask company based in Silverthorne, CO that I've been interning for for a few weeks now. They originally wanted me to be an athlete for them and film some edits, so I went to their "lab" to get some swag and talk about sponsorship when one of them mentioned they needed an intern. As of now I'm working as their "customs" facemask designer for companies who want their own custom designs. In the future I'm going to be doing their blog and helping with some marketing as well.

I guess that wraps it up for the year! I usually do a big "year ending" entry, but I've been so busy lately! I'm sure I'll post some entries over the summer... As always, this is going to be the best summer ever!
