She was Ski Instructor, and He was a Lift operator at Hunter Mountain. Samantha was teaching beginner children to ski on the bunny hill. Jason was the head lift operator for the "carpet" surface lift or better know as the "The Magic Carpet", a name given to help small children feel more excited and less frightened to use when learning how to ski. Jason would come out of the operators Lift Shack and walk on the carpet like a treadmill, watching the skiers from time to time. Especially, when Samantha would circle the lift with her students. Jason would also help the little skiers when they got stuck getting on and off the lift. Then one day while Samantha was creating a silly and fun ski lesson, suddenly there was snowballs going around and Jason helped the little skiers get there instructor with snowballs making the experience for the kids more fun, or was it. Throughout the 2016-2017 winter season Jason and Samantha came to know one another from working on the magic carpet. Then summer came and the winter fun was over. December 16th 2017 was the first day of the Seasonal Ski Program at Hunter. Samantha made a run on the Magic Carpet, there was no Jason this time. The Kids were more advanced this year so she made a run on C-Lift. Jason was the head of a different Lift this time, C-Lift which is a Chair lift and the next level up for skiers learning to ski. He was waiting and hoping if Samantha would be teaching again and show up using C-Lift. Then by the time she reached the top of the lift there was Jason outside the lift shack working on the ramp. As Jason and Samantha Locked eyes they both pointed at each other with smiles on their faces excited to see each other. This was rather obvious to the other instructor Samantha was working with. The next circle around the lift Jason hands Samantha a piece of paper with his number on it. After work Samantha took no time and messaged Jason. Jason was surprised to hear from her so quickly, but he was ecstatic. They met later that evening in the Main lodge and hung out for a long time. From then on Samantha and Jason were nearly inseparable. They ended up seeing each other everyday not just at work but after work. they would go skiing and snowboarding on their days off and visiting other sister ski resorts together all up and down the east coast. As the weather got warmer they would go hiking, swimming, biking and make plans for their next adventure. She was a Ski Instructor and he was a Lift Operator and they met on the Magic Carpet Ride. Today Samantha is an Assistant Store Manager in the Rental - Retail Department and Jason is the Lead Lift Mechanic both working for Vail Resorts at Hunter Mountain year around.
