Mammoth always on my mind

 

One Month ago

 I started at Snowbird (Sat July 10th pm catering at the Cliff) Sunday be at the Forklift before 11:00 am

 thank you !!

After applying online I mailed my resume via USPS to the Snowbird recruiting office here in Cottonwood 

(Holladay) She (Snowbird hiring manager) called my cell phone while I was visiting Dad on Mom's

 Birthday (July 6th) passed the Phone interview and met my manager the next day.. "Your hired!"

One year ago today

One year ago today, Mom, you're forever missed... Be back up soon or at least a pass by CC.. Later a new Memorial....

"He already knows what you need, just ask"

On my Mom's birthday, Visiting Dad at his adult care center room... I received a phone call from Carolyn, Snowbird recruiting, She wants to set up a phone interview (I passed and met my new boss the following day) "your hired" 

Mom and her spirit from beyond helped me get this done... Here is the kicker.. Mom's personal Bible was bookmarked at this page, I read this because I don't really know why and this would be the first time opening Mom's personal Bible since She passed away last July 19th 2020....... THANK YOU MOM!!!

It was perfect!! Next I ski up to two Snowboarders with Larry's 2 Flags… I said I’m taking those 2 Flags back and I did…. Took the Gondola to the top where I present Larry his 2 Flags to many cheers!... Later when Larry, Scott, Dave and I Ski off the top for the final run of the season…. It's a Mob!!! Bonus is Dennis from Salty Peaks (Owner of this “Snowboard” Ski Shop) follow us off the top holding an American flag too!!! We all got a cameo on Mammoths Facebook/Instagram video…
