Grass Roots Corporate
Ski bumming, building chairlifts and falling upstairs with Herman the German and Polka Dan. Meet Larry Daniels. Larry worked and skied in the West as a young man before learning a bit about building ski lifts. He jumped on a job offer to come to Alaska in the early 1970’s. Larry takes us on a journey through the early years at Alyeska Resort to skiing in Japan in the 80’s and beyond. We touch on bar tabs, chairlifts as babysitters and renting sailboats.
In this episode, Larry talks about the many hats of a ski resort employee, the evolution of a small ski resort to a corporate destination, all with Monday morning quarterbacks lurking over your shoulder.
