SKIER: Matt Hurd (shipping) PHOTO: Matt McDonald (customer service)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Some thoughts on the trip:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Chris, technician\/customer service<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cThe trip was great. Everyone was exhausted from working so hard, and everybody needed that break. It was definitely the best snow I\u2019ve ever been in. Amy and Jordan are always super generous, so I can\u2019t thank those guys enough. I\u2019m looking forward to it next year. And, as everybody else has noted, my favorite ski was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powder7.com\/Black-Crows-Atris-Skis-178cm-New-Flat-2017\/for-sale\">[Black Crows] Atris<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mia, customer service<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI was a little nervous at first because I\u2019m probably the least experienced skier in the shop. But then I surprised myself, and I was also surprised with what a great community Powder7 was. They didn\u2019t care what ability you were. Everybody just wanted to stick together and have fun.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking for a company who values their employees makes you want to work harder as an employee. A trip like this keeps you focused; it\u2019s a good work\/life balance. Even went we weren\u2019t skiing, we were talking about skis. Everyone genuinely wants to talk about skis\u2014which is probably super annoying for everyone not from Powder7. Ski of the trip for me was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powder7.com\/Black-Crows-Camox-Birdie-Skis-156cm-New-Flat-2017\/for-sale\">[Black Crows] Camox Birdie.<\/a>\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keagan, technician\/customer service<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cI got there a couple days after it snowed and still got tons of fresh lines and face shots\u2014like for three days. The house was sweet. The van was sweet. I haven\u2019t sent that hard in a while. There were so many people there, and the wolfpack was so stoked. My favorite ski of the trip was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powder7.com\/Blizzard-Cochise-Skis-178cm-New-Flat-2017\/for-sale\">[Blizzard] Cochise<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I hang out with these people a lot. I watch them talk about jackets and pants and everything all the time. But then we go to Wolf Creek, and everyone\u2019s a badass. They all just go for it. It\u2019s way easier to work with people who are like that, who are so much fun and so laid back.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lauren, customer service<\/strong><br \/>\n\u201cWolf Creek was great. My favorite part was skiing through the trees as a wolfpack and howling at each other the whole time. And I valued that there were so many different skiers, who were all really good, so every day we learned and did something new. My favorite ski of the trip was the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.powder7.com\/Black-Crows-Atris-Birdie-Skis-169cm-New-Flat-2017\/for-sale\">[Black Crows] Atris Birdie<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One house, 15\u00a0employees, two owners, eight days, 30\u00a0inches of storm snow.
