Job Posting and 2017 Calendars
2016-10-18 18:21:04.000 – Ryan Knapp, Weather Observer/Staff Meteorologist
Having worked here for over a decade, one thing I have learned is that the only constant is change. Every year, winter changes to spring, spring changes to summer, summer changes to fall, and once again fall changes to winter. Views change from 20 feet to 130 miles then back again. Technology changes becoming more efficient and smaller. Our museum has changed. Our gift shop has changed. And apart from me, our summit personnel has changed a few times. Most recently is a change that occurred earlier this month as Mike Dorfman departed us to pursue higher education. With his departure, that means in due time, another change will come with whoever we decide to higher as his replacement. Today, we posted the vacant position and are starting to receive the resumes of possible replacements. If you have ever wanted to work on the summit, you can click on the highlighted words above and throw your hat into the ring as they say.
