AndyYT316 Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Hey guys! I might be moving back east for a while this fall. I just passed the first of 2 FBI tests, and if I pass the 2nd I'll be going out to Quantico, VA for 4 months of training. I'm thinking about taking a few boards with me if I go, and maybe do some USASA racing too. Anyone know of any good mtns I should check out if I go?

trailertrash Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Save your money and buy plane tickets back home! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyYT316 Posted June 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Saving money for plane tickets home is a good idea! I can always stay with friends and family. I thought that maybe I should try and experience a little east coast riding while I can. Icy days in Utah are few, but interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Brown Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 Well, if you want ice then hit Ski Liberty resort in the evening after it has softened up and then refrozen... Ski Roundtop is about 145 miles from Quantico and usually has the best conditions in the area. Ski Whitetail is about 120 miles and is my usual hangout. Snowshow is 278 miles away, big, crowded, and expensive... Disclaimer: Mileage via MapQuest, so your mileage may, well, vary... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cail Posted June 21, 2007 Report Share Posted June 21, 2007 sweet. i was/am thinking about applying to the FBI. was it a long process to get to the exams? i assume you're going for field agent... do you remember what the requirements for eyesight are? later!

AndyYT316 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Thanks Mark! Maybe I'll be seeing you at Whitetail sometimes. I'll stay away from Snowshoe, sounds like an east coast version Park City to me. How's Wisp? Maybe I'll stay close and cheap so I can fly home to Utah and have fun there on the longer weekends and holidays. Hey Cail. I actually applied for the job back around January, and the sent me a letter wanting me to test with them a few weeks ago. I applied as a Special Agent and it sounds like they want me mainly because of my Navy background as a linguist and my International Cultural Studies major from college. The beginning is kind of a hurry up and wait process, but once it gets started it looks like it'll go quick! The eyesight requirements sound pretty flexible, but you can check out the FBI eyesight and physical requirements here. I hope that helps you!

Phil Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Well, if you want ice then hit Ski Liberty ...Ski Roundtop is about 145 miles...Ski Whitetail is about 120 miles ... As of April, I am offlicially no longer a company employee (and most likely never will be again, but you never know) I can say that I am not a big fan of Ski Liberty. I have yet to really enjoy the conditions there. I am sure that they have good conditions, I have just not really ever caught them. I would say that it is worth the extra mileage to hit up Roundtop. Roundtop almost always has decent conditions during the day. Evenings are hit or miss anywhere in the Mid Atlantic. I will miss Roundtop. I have put in over 1,000 days there! If and when I go back that direction, Roundtop WILL be the place that I revisit. As far as Utah, I have been there many times and every time I return, I am ready to get back to the fast and slick. Powder is fun, but I can only take so much of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
