Talk about a hideous job. Not just the physical discomfort, but being scared to death watching out for the kids at the same time.<br /><br />Although I have to admit I really got a chuckle out of his *tiny fainting goats* remark! :)M.A.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14924439808069320143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390019422100466668.post-83079349139496529502010-12-21T12:15:17.426-08:002010-12-21T12:15:17.426-08:00This sounds really dangerous for the kids.

I live in the Western Mountains of Maine and ski slopes are a huge industry here...I've never worked at one, but my husband has. He loved it, but maybe it was a bit easier to make snow than run the tow rope!Mrs. DeRapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17412356257110198452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390019422100466668.post-72089393008078676892010-12-20T15:05:06.029-08:002010-12-20T15:05:06.029-08:00That job must've sucked!
