What about some sb.com branded merch

Spread the word through t-shirts and stickers.

I am down for some.

Chris,
Can you provide a list of companies that you get that commission on?
I'll ask my AT and Telemark friends to use the site links to. Also any ideas on a public information campaign? I probably by more gear from backcountry.com than anywhere else but I've never bought anything through site links because I didn't think it made any difference.

I firmly believe that life is all about rolling with the punches.

We are a strong community of climbers and I am sure you will climb over this next obstacle.

One piece of info. My home mountain Eaglecrest has the most snow of any ski area in the world right now (according to NPR) and more snow in the forecast. Wait, it's terrible here, don't come, go to Baker

I'll look forwards to the increased goodness factor on splitboard.com. I left the regular job almost three years ago, and am still afloat. It's not easy, but sure is rewarding, especially when you're skinning up for some nice pow on a weekday! Good luck!

Why limit yourself to two choices? In the cubical or full time webmaster? I dont know how many man hours you spend keeping the site up, but I would look into other forms of income from home while running this site.

At home computer set up and teaching-
you know a lot about the digital world, media ect. You should be able to pick up some income by helping out newbies on their Mac or PC. Lots of people will pay for FCP editing tutors , photoshop ect. Put up an add on Craigslist and go for it

real estate license -

yeah, I know the market is in the tank right now, but it will come back someday and a part time agent can make good money during good and bad times

stock photos/calendar

you go out into the mountains, its pretty. Buy yourself a great camera and start shooting.

look for all kinds of small niche things you can do. You would be supprised at how much money you can make. I know a person who makes a fair living by driving seniors around. To the doctor, shopping ect.

summertime-
mowing
buy a flat bed and a rider , dont go after yards, just big lots and open acres .

firewood--chain saw, truck delivery. hard work but enjoyable

being around for your kids all the time is a huge plus . Just remeber to plan for when your old. Social security , 401K or something, just make sure you put a bit away so you dont have to grind it out when your 80

Ignore Tex, he's obviously way too responsible. Get out there and ride. Hope to see you out there soon.

Sorry about the job news Chris. You've definitely made a difference to tons of peoples live by all that you do with this site. Thank you! This time in your life sounds like an opportunity, and by following your passion you can't go wrong. I'll continue to recommend this site to others for the tremendous resource it is, and use the links for gear purchases, etc. Good luck!

wasatch surf · **Posted:** Tue Nov 29, 2011 9:22 pm

you can move to salt lake and do the wasatch special-

step 1: Move to Salt Lake
Step 2: Get a job at Brighton or Solitude
Step 3: Work at a pizza joint or REI
Step 4: Work customer service/warehouse at backcountry.com
Step 5: Wear mountain khakis and try to suck enough dick to work at Black Diamond
Step 6: Work at Voile, Petzl, BD, BC.com or any other UT based company and have the delusion that you will advance in the company
Step 7: After a combination of all the other steps has failed, you find yourself back at REI tuning skis and wondering where the fuck life went wrong.

good luck and I suggest looking into anything outside of the outdoor industry.

This site is the only site I really care to visit, it gets me through the work week. You can dork out, talk shit, share stoke all in a fun environment with guys who share the same passion as you. Let's face it were not skiers and while we love snowboarding for all it is, were over the snowboard scene and what it's become. Our perspective is different from those other guys and it's nice to have a place dedicated to us. Thanks Chris for your hard work and good luck.

+1 - Well said Utah
