My cousin has a great life in Lake Tahoe, I am envious of him. I thought I would post this link for all of the people that love skiing. Check out the list of mad skillz and experience.

I’d be envious too. Tahoe is a killer place to ski. Like, that guy on the link, he busted his ass, got his degree, but decided that it wasn’t what he truely wanted, and went to become a ski bum. Moved up the ladder, and is close to the top. Now he gets paid to ski one of the dream locations of any North American skier. ----I edited because I’m a tard and at first thought your cousin worked for Points North… ---

Yeah, I’m envious of my cousin. The Squaw Fire Dept. is about 100 yards from the Tram at Squaw Valley. He lives in Alaska for a month or two to be a guide at Points North. Edit; I got married last year at Lake Tahoe and he almost missed it because he was fighting a huge forest fire. Edit 2; That sounded funny, no I didn’t marry my cousin, he was just a guest at the wedding.:biglol: ---
