Moving to Breck on Friday...pretty fucked

I'm moving to Breck on Friday to start working at the mountain part-time and ride snowboards. I drove from MA to Lake Tahoe in December and ride Squaw, Alpine, Northstar, and Boreal everyday but the winter has been really shitty. Shoulda stayed east and had an epic winter but that's how it goes. I've been working as a liftie but i'm over that shit, putting people on ski lifts all day and saying "bar down" isn't for me.

So anyways I got a transfer to Breck at a better job and start around March 1st. This is where I'm fucked...I haven't found any housing that I can afford or that will do a 2 month thing. I've been a straggler before in Barcelona and London but never in conditions like these. I have a roomy car that I can sleep in but it's so cold I don't know if I'll be able to manage, no matter how much I winterproof it.

This is a longshot but would anyone be willing to help me out in any way when I get there around Sunday? A floor to sleep on for a night while I hopefully figure something out soon would be fuckin sick and I wouldn't freeze to death in a walmart parking lot...although my supervisor just told me a bunch of people are living at walmart so maybe it's not too bad. I'll bring the beer and buds and can even give some cash for letting me crash. If anyone's looking for a roommate or someone to pay rent on their floor or couch, let me know. I'm down for anything at this point and feelin pretty nervous about this whole thing.

I'm just a 22 year old skateboarder/ snowboarder whose been travelling all year trying to ride and skate the best shit. Thanks homies.

Let me tell you guys a story. It's a story about travel, intrigue, and a mystery blender.

The year is 2003, I have been forced to go to community college in order for the insurance company to pay some medical bills. Don't ask, long story in of itself.

My friends and I decide to throw a party in the middle of the woods like most under age college bound people do. For some reason someone brought a blender and it somehow ended up in the back of my car. How it ended up there I don't know. Why you would bring a blender to a fucking party in the woods is one of those questions that will never get answered.

But alas at this party was the first time I ever broke my hand and the first time I knocked someone out with one punch. But it was during this pugilistic outing that I discovered college was a fucking crock of shit.

From there I quit college and opted to move west. I moved to Lake Tahoe, that place fucking sucks. So I moved up to Washington, that place sucked more, well not so much that place just the people. Then I made the biggest mistake of all, I moved to a ski town with a girlfriend. NEVER DO THIS!

All the while I had mystery blender. It provided me with many mixed drinks sometimes with alcohol, but most of the time it was booze free. It was with me when I was fat, it was with me when I lost weight, and it definitely caused me to become borderline anorexic because of all the smoothies I was drinking.

For 13 years this blender was a constant in my life. It gave me many blended drinks before snowboarding.

Well tonight mystery blender blended itself to death in one last attempt to give me a strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, mango, banana smoothie.

What does this have to do with some stupid fuck moving here that knows no one? Nothing, I just wanted to share that I was in mourning. Weather's cold here compared to Tahoe, you're probably going to die. My advice get on Tinder, start swiping right till you get a match with a girl that looks stupid enough to let you live with her for 2 months. Also don't get herpes, they can only be cured with fire.

Did the tinder thing in Park City a few weeks back and was surprised at the success...definitely some gold to be had in ski towns. Well good news is that I have a magic bullet blender ready to go so looks like I definitely won't need to get any rent money ready. If I die feel free to break into the only NJ license plated truck you'll see in the Breck Walmart parking lot and take it so that your blender legacy may live on. Blend it til you die.

It's actually closer to 40 years old. It's an old Waring I believe it was made in 1972. My parents got the same one for a anniversary gift. All metal parts, fucking gusset blew out on me on the bottom and I doubt I'll be able to find one that fits it.

OP and BA soon to be best friends forever.
How did I get so tan?

you need the ninja blender. 6 rotating ninja swords dicing your fruit to liquid. used mine 5-6 times a week for last 2 years. Going strong. 11 more years would be legendary. you lost yourself a one of a kind blender. maybe it had been recently repaired by a meth head. they do excellent work on kitchen appliances and have been known to wonder around in the woods.
