Le ndoda edabuka eWilmington yindoda eyenza lowo msebenzi obonakala ungenakwenzeka - ukushayela yehla yenyuka i-ski jump e-Harris Hill - futhi yenza iqhwa libe lilungele iqembu labasubathi be-ski bezwe nabamazwe ngamazwe abalindeleke e-Brattleboro kule mpelasonto yombukiso waminyaka yonke we-Harris Hill Ski Jump. .
U-Robinson ungumlungisi oyinhloko e-Mount Snow Resort, futhi ubolekwe izisebenzi zase-Harris Hill izinsuku ezimbalwa ukuze alungise izingxenye ezintathu ezingezansi zokugxuma ukuze alungele umncintiswano.
U-Jason Evans, i-main-domo yesikhungo esiyingqayizivele sentaba yokushushuluza, uqondisa izisebenzi ezilungisa igquma.Akanalutho ngaphandle kokudumisa uRobinson.
URobinson uqala umshini wakhe, ikati eliwinayo le-Pisten Bully 600, phezulu ekugxumeni.Kude ngaphansi kwakhe kukhona indawo engezansi yokugxuma kanye nendawo yokupaka ezobamba izinkulungwane zezibukeli kulo Mgqibelo nangeSonto.Ngaseceleni kukhona iRetreat Meadows kanye noMfula iConnecticut.U-Evans usevele eshayele iwintshi kuhange kodwa uRobinson, oqinile ukuze aphephe, uyaphuma etekisini yomshini ukuze ahlole kabili.
Abahleli beHarris Hill kufanele bathole imvume yezokuthutha yezwe ekhethekile ukuze basuse umkhwenyana omkhulu ukusuka eWest Dover ukuya eBrattleboro njengoba ibanzi kakhulu, futhi uLwesibili bekuwusuku.U-Robinson ubebuyile ngoLwesithathu, eqinisekisa ukuthi isembozo seqhwa ekugxumeni siyafana futhi sijulile, sisakazeke ngokulinganayo emaphethelweni amabhodi aseceleni okugxuma.Ama-Jumpers, ahamba ngesivinini esingafika kumamayela angu-70 ngehora, adinga indawo engabikezelwa, ngisho nendawo ukuze ahlale kuyo.
Ngokungafani nemizila yokushushuluza, eyakha uRobinson ngomqhele, ukugxuma kwe-ski kufanele kube okulinganayo, ukusuka onqenqemeni kuye konqenqemeni.
Kungu-36 degrees futhi kunenkungu, kodwa uRobinson uthi izinga lokushisa elingaphezu nje kokuqhwaza lenza iqhwa libe lihle futhi linamathele - kulula ukupakisha futhi kulula ukungena kulo ngomshini olandelelwa kakhulu.Ngezinye izikhathi, ekhuphuka ngomqansa, akadingi ngisho nentambo yocingo ukuze adonsele umshini phezulu.
Intambo yocingo ifana nentambo enkulu, eqinisekisa ukuthi umshini awuwi phansi egqumeni, noma ungawudonsela phezulu ebusweni bokugxuma.
U-Robinson ungumuntu othanda ukuphelela futhi ukuqaphela kakhulu ukuhleleka kwengubo emhlophe ngaphansi kwakhe.
Umshini omkhulukazi, obizwa nge-Mandy May, uwumshini omkhulu obomvu onewintshi elikhulu phezulu, ucishe ufane nozipho.Ngaphambili kunegeja elicijile, ngemuva i-tiller, eshiya phezulu njenge-corduroy.URobinson uyabakhohlisa kalula.
Umshini, phakathi nohambo lwawo ku-Route 9 usuka eMount Snow uya e-Brattleboro, wacosha ukungcola komgwaqo, futhi wawuphuma eqhweni elihlanzekile.URobinson uthe uzokwenza isiqiniseko sokuthi uyasingcwaba.
Futhi uRobinson uthe uyalithanda iqhwa eliluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka igeja kumkhweli lihlubula inqwaba enkulu - linobumba oluluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka lwe-chlorine, ngoba kuyiqhwa eliphuma edolobheni likamasipala waseBrattleboro, eliphathwa nge-chlorine."Asinakho lokho eMount Snow," kusho uRobinson.
Isiqongo segquma besimbozwe yinkungu ngoLwesibili ntambama, okwenza kube nzima ukubona ukuthi uRobinson wenzani ngomshini wakhe omkhulu.Kulula ukubona ebusuku, esho, izibani ezinkulu zikhanyise umkhwenyana.
Igeja lidala amasoseji ayindilinga amakhulu eqhwa, futhi amabhola eqhwa abanzi onyawo aphuka futhi ehle endaweni engumqansa yokugxuma.Ngaso sonke isikhathi, uRobinson uphusha iqhwa emaphethelweni, ukuze agcwalise izikhala emaphethelweni akude.
ULwesine ekuseni ulethe iqhwa elinamathelayo elimanzi, futhi u-Evans wathi iqembu lakhe lizolisusa lonke lelo qhwa ngesandla."Asilifuni iqhwa. Lishintsha iphrofayili. Aligcwele futhi sifuna indawo enhle eqinile," kusho u-Evans, ephawula ukuthi isimo sezulu esibanda kakhulu sibikezela ngoLwesine ebusuku futhi ikakhulukazi ngoLwesihlanu ebusuku, lapho izinga lokushisa libikezelwa. hamba ngaphansi kweziro, kuzoba kuhle kakhulu ekugcineni ukugxuma kukulungele abagxumayo.
Ababukeli?Mhlawumbe okungabalungeli kangako, u-Evans uvumile, nakuba amazinga okushisa kulindeleke ukuthi afudumale ngoMgqibelo ntambama futhi nakakhulu ngeSonto, osukwini lwesibili lomncintiswano.
Ithimba lika-Evans lizoqeda ingxenye engenhla ye-ski jump - engafinyelelwanga umshini osindayo wokuzilungisa - bese lifafaza amanzi kuyo ukuze "ifane neqhwa," kusho u-Evans.
URobinson usesebenzele iMount Snow Resort iminyaka engu-21 isiyonke, kanye neminyaka emihlanu eStratton Mountain and Heavenly Ski Resort eCalifornia.
E-Mount Snow, u-Robinson uqondisa ithimba labasebenzi abangaba ngu-10, kodwa uyena kuphela osebenzisa umlungiseleli we-Mount Snow's "winch cat".Endaweni yokushushuluza, isetshenziswa emijahweni yokushushuluza ewumqansa we-resort, esukela ku-45 kuya ku-60 degrees pitch.Ngokungafani ne-Harris Hill, ngezinye izikhathi uRobinson kufanele anamathisele iwintshi esihlahleni - "uma sikhulu ngokwanele" - kanti kwezinye izindawo kukhona amahange amisiwe ewintshi.
"Angicabangi ukuthi kuneqhwa eliningi lapha njengoba uJason ecabanga," kusho uRobinson, ngenkathi ephusha amathani eqhwa elibhekisa phansi lapho kugxuma khona.
Iqhwa lenziwe u-Evans - owayeyingcweti ye-snowboarder-turned-Harris Hill guru - isonto noma ngaphezulu ngaphambili, enikeza iqhwa isikhathi sokuzinza "nokumisa," njengoba kusho u-Evans.
Amadoda amabili azana kahle kakhulu: U-Robinson ubelungisa i-Harris Hill cishe inqobo nje uma u-Evans neqembu lakhe lase-Evans Construction belungiselela umcimbi.U-Evans uphinde anakekele ipayipi eliyingxenye ye-Mount Snow.
Ukhulele eDummerston, waya eBrattleboro Union High School, futhi wafunda eKeene State College isemester eyodwa ngaphambi kokuba inhlabamkhosi ye-snowboarding iqine kakhulu ukuthi angamelana nayo.
Eminyakeni engu-10 eyalandela, u-Evans waqhudelana ngezinga eliphezulu emhlabeni wonke we-snowboarding circuit, ewina imiklomelo eminingi, kodwa ehlale ephuthelwa ama-Olympics, wathi, ngenxa yesikhathi.Washintshela esiphambanweni se-snowboard ngemva kweminyaka embalwa eqhudelana epayipini elinguhhafu, futhi ekugcineni wabuyela ekhaya ukuze abone ukuthi wayefuna ukwenzani ngempilo yakhe futhi aziphilise.
U-Evans kanye nabasebenzi baqala umsebenzi egqumeni futhi bagxuma eqhweni ngemva kukaNcibijane, futhi uthi kuthatha cishe amasonto amathathu ukulungisa izinto.
Kulo nyaka, ithimba lakhe bekumele bakhe isamba esingamamitha angu-800 wamabhodi aseceleni amasha, aveza izinhlangothi zombili zokugxuma, okungamamitha angama-400 ubude.Basebenzisa uthayela engxenyeni engaphezulu, namapulangwe anengcindezi ngaphansi, ukuze banciphise ukubola, njengoba amabhodi aseceleni ahlala endaweni yawo unyaka wonke.
U-Evans neqembu lakhe "baphephule iqhwa" ubusuku obuhlanu, kusukela ngasekupheleni kukaJanuwari, besebenzisa i-compressor abayibolekiwe evela e-Mount Snow ukuze bakhe izinqwaba ezinkulu.Kungumsebenzi kaRobinson ukuyisakaza - njengesithwathwa esikhithika esiqwini esikhulu, esiwumqansa kakhulu.
Uma ungathanda ukushiya amazwana (noma ithiphu noma umbuzo) mayelana nale ndaba nabahleli, sicela usithumele i-imeyili.Siyazamukela futhi izincwadi eziya kumhleli ukuze zishicilelwe;ungakwenza lokho ngokugcwalisa ifomu lezincwadi zethu futhi ulithumele endlini yezindaba.
