that's some good information, but that is a far journey by car (whistler). plus, i have been there. i guess if i am going to make a trip distance should not be a factor. i am going to look ito Telluride. Yellowstone is pretty attractive, though. it's all up in the air. if a thought on the matter finds you at some point, feel free to pass it along. in touch i will be regardless at some point.

: good luck carey. fellow freestyle friends, i
: write now in searck of information. with
: a piece of paper now in hand i look to
: take one or two years off and enjoy
: myself before pursuing another one. while
: i first considered teaching, i realized
: such tasks would take their toll and i
: would be left without the energy needed to
: engage my true calling, my own projects.
: i need a job which will be more fun than
: not, preferably outdoors even in the
: mountains. so, i have decided that if i
: teach ski lessons for two years i will
: enjoy myself and am now looking for an
: area in which to live for a short time.
: jackson hole seems favorable
: geographically, as i have never been to
: that region of the country and after some
: research am attracted by its splendor.
: and it seems as though there is an art
: community there. one site explains there
: are a couple dozen art galleries in the
: town. i am looking for good skiing and
: humans my age with whom i can communicate
: about things such as art and perhaps even
: with them participate in artistic acts -
: making music, etc.. as you guys - and
: that means you kendrcik, stocker,
: langleys, etc. know a lot more about the
: ski world - i hope you might provide some
: input as to what areas i might consider.
: of course i am looking for good skiing -
: but my greatest interest is in finding an
: area wherein i will be most likely to
: interact with individuals sharing
: interests similar to mine.
: Ashley, my brother, you have raised worthy
: questions in pursuit of a community that
: shares your soulful and creative passion.
: I have three recommendations for you.
: Jackson is truly magnificent. It is one
: of two places that I would consider
: leaving Tahoe for, but I am a bit tenative
: because of my perception that I should be
: in California for a while. You would find
: no lack of goodness there. Telluride,
: Colorado... What a real place! The
: people there shun Starbucks and don't let
: them come in. Not to mention Home Depot,
: Wal-Mart, McD's, etc. The scenery is
: packed with grandeur and skiing is
: phenomenal. The days are often such an
: intense blue that you may feel as if you
: are on the border of outer space when
: unloading atop Telluride. Whistler.... is
: where it's at. I have been to some art
: shows in Whistler in the summer, and I
: know that I have seen some of my favorite
: pieces ever right in Whistler. No
: shortage of beauty, community, art, or
: inspiration. You just need to be able to
: work legally, and to do that, you would
: want to pursue a visa immediately.
: Yingling lives in Whistler, and he may be
: able to help you if you are interested.
: jeffyingling@hotmail.com. All three would
: be sick! I am so glad to hear that you
: are going to live somewhere like that.
: Another cool option would be spending a
: summer (winter) down under in Wanaka, New
: Zealand. It would be a somewhat foreign
: experience, but it's a groovy town on the
: up-and-up as far as funkiness, community,
: art, etc. The land is amazing, like
: Whsitler. The dollar there is strong like
: it is for us in Canada, and I have
: contacts there.
: Let me know if I can assist more. Good luck.
