My buddy who owns the security company in FL said I should get on with Vail PD- he heard they offer discounted ski passes for city employees- as one of the perks of the job.
    The ski company offers the officers discounted passes only if they perform a certain amount of days as unpaid ski patrol monitors. The cost of living there is too high compared to the base salary paid for entry officers. You will end up living well outside the Vail valley and commuting or living with a bunch of roommates.

    A veteran is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America ' for an amount of 'up to and including my life.'

    That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

    That's what I was afraid of- our friends have a vacation home up in Vail, 1200 sq ft- $780,000- in Lakewood, that same house would be mid 200's.
