Bay Area Kids

Hey guys...

So I lived in Mammoth last season and just started working out here in the bay area at GoPro. Living in Half Moon Bay at the moment and know absolutely no one. This is sort of a plea for friends in the bay area plus finding people to ski Tahoe this winter! I have a pass for Mammoth again, but will probably find a tahoe pass and will be driving out there each weekend.

In short - need some friends..badly. I've had great success with skier friends. fyi I'm 23, and helped run the USC ski team for the past 5 years. Now i am sad and lonely

I'll be at Squaw most school breaks and whenever I'm home (going to school in Seattle) So if you end up getting a pass there you can hit me up and we can ski together if you want.

Ha. You're a year late. Last year, you could have caught a ride with me all the time, but now I'm in Oregon.

I'm still only 5 hrs from Tahoe and have heaps of friends there, so I'll be hitting it up quite a bit.

I ski Alpine alot and I live in Palo Alto. Hit me up if you wanna share rides/ski. I also surf alot in your area. Is GoPro based out of HMB?

Yo, sweet! Yeah GoPro is right at the south end of half moon bay on the 1. I have been trying to get into surfing but still suck at it.

schweet. And GoPro job was literally just them seeing my vids online. And depending on what you do, and how good you are, I could actually get you pretty close to getting a job.. GoPro is hiring almost non-stop. Still need 2-3 more video editors to work with me!

Dang that's one of the sickest things I've ever read on NS.  Take the seats out and you have MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF SPACE TO STORE CRAP or put the seats in and PUT MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF PEOPLE AND CRAP INTO THE CAR and AWD BIG BALLER SHOT CALLER ON THE MOUNTAIN WHEN THE SNOW IS FALLING

What's the company anyway?  Moving around disabled/old people from the retirement home to the hospital?

I'm trying to get mass trips up to Tahoe this winter. Getting the Sierra/Northstar season pass, its a pretty good deal and both are cool places. Sierra is small but my favorite. I'm over in Pleasant Hill, right off 680 (i can hear it right now)

I hail from the valley of burning grapes, or Napa. I try to get up just about every weekend, so if any of you northbay kids are down for carpooling hit me up. Also, what do you guys think of the idea of a bay area NS preseason bbq? cause I'm down to kick it with skiers for once, it seems we're a rare breed around these parts
