CMC Breckenridge student Ali Gingras shares a few views of closing day at nearby Arapahoe Basin, and a few thoughts on an upcoming summer internship in her blog, See What I See.
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!
