Internview #13 – Preston Strout
What exactly is it that you do?
I’m in the business of making fun, making business fun, and making fun of business. I’m part owner and Executive Director of High Cascade Snowboard Camp, and I’m also starting a brand called Crab Grab, plus, during the winter, I do a bunch of announcing too (apparently I have a good voice for saying “double cork” all f—ing day long). Underneath those three umbrellas is a ball beating of emailing, phone calling, decision making, and faxing.
What is your favorite part of your job?
Working with our staff of 135 amazing people at HCSC, hands down.
If you could go or ride anywhere in the world where would it be?
Loon Mtn, NH.
On a lighter note, what’s one thing you can’t live without?
Haven’t figured that out yet. If I turn up dead somewhere, go see what I didn’t have on me.
Who’s your favorite super hero? If you could have any power in the world what would it be?
Ahhh, whoever’s fighting the good fight. I’m not that hyped on most super heros. Batman seems kinda like a prick, I’m afraid of spiders (and thus the man). Superman’s outfit looks ridiculous, and the Green Lantern seems like a poor excuse for a summer blockbuster. My power would be the ability to make onions to disappear from my food (or Earth as a whole).
And last but not least, what’s the last thing you ate today? Was it good?
It was biscuits and gravy cooked and served by the HCSC Kitchen Staff – it was f—ing awesome!
