So instead, the question quickly turned into why.
Matt had a good job back in North Carolina, but he was ready to do something different.
And before doing something different, he wanted to do something exciting.
?Some of our friends were like, why are you doing this?
But then a couple were pissed off saying, I wanna go!?
?Yeah you could go, but your wife?s not going to let you,?
You guys must be some pretty hard core skiers, right?
?Oh no, man!?
laughed Mickey, ?I haven?t skied in 5 years!?
The cool thing is that these guys totally embrace their amateur status.
?The first day, I fell on 3 out of the first 5 runs.
It?s cool to read about that stuff, but we can?t all do that.
So we thought, let?s just go do something that everyone can relate to.?
I was planning to interview them, but it turned out they had almost as many questions for me.
The first, ?what?s up with all the dogs??
?I mean, isn?t it pretty cold out there??
They loved the scenery at A-Basin and the parking convenience at Keystone.
But what stands out the most as a differentiator between different resorts?
?You know the ones with the little nozzle that just blast the air out?
Those things are great!?
If you’re able to have both, that?s the best!?
?Can you believe it?
They?ve got a ski hill in Alabama.
We?re going skiing in Alabama.?
?We want to be able to connect with other people while we?re traveling,?
They have already tweeted requests of where to eat dinner and have received some great responses.
Damn, I met them on day six and they already had some pretty good ones.
Here’s a sample of their update videos.
