When the place was built in 1907
00:00:03.544 --> 00:00:06.013
There was very little interest in winter sports
00:00:06.338 --> 00:00:11.218
This site was chosen for its seclusion and scenic beauty
00:00:11.427 --> 00:00:13.971
It's certainly got plenty of that
00:00:14.179 --> 00:00:15.389
That's right
00:00:16.001 --> 00:00:18.892
Did they give you any idea in Denver
00:00:19.101 --> 00:00:20.769
About what the job entails
00:00:20.978 --> 00:00:23.999
Only in a very general way
00:00:23.897 --> 00:00:25.316
Well
00:00:25.733 --> 00:00:28.152
The winters can be fantastically cruel
00:00:28.036 --> 00:00:31.822
The basic idea is to cope with the very costly damage
00:00:32.999 --> 00:00:34.001
And depreciation which can occur
00:00:34.241 --> 00:00:36.066
This consists mainly of running the boiler
00:00:36.869 --> 00:00:40.831
Heating different parts of the hotel on a daily rotating basis
00:00:41.999 --> 00:00:43.751
Repairing damage as it occurs
00:00:43.917 --> 00:00:46.754
And doing repairs so the elements can't get a foothold
00:00:47.838 --> 00:00:50.003
That sounds fine to me
00:00:50.466 --> 00:00:53.427
Physically it's not a very demanding job
00:00:53.635 --> 00:00:56.805
The only thing that can get a bit trying here during the winter
00:00:57.003 --> 00:00:59.641
Is a tremendous sense of isolation
00:01:00.768 --> 00:01:05.999
That just happens to be exactly what I'm looking for
00:01:05.999 --> 00:01:08.999
I'm outlining a new writing project
00:01:09.999 --> 00:01:12.529
Five months of peace is just what I want
00:01:13.028 --> 00:01:15.996
That's very good Jack
00:01:15.324 --> 00:01:18.494
Because for some people
00:01:18.702 --> 00:01:20.999
Solitude
00:01:20.001 --> 00:01:22.289
And isolation
00:01:22.456 --> 00:01:25.459
Can of itself become a problem
00:01:26.251 --> 00:01:27.836
Not for me
00:01:28.379 --> 00:01:31.001
How about your wife and son Do you think they'll take to it
00:01:33.425 --> 00:01:34.593
They'll love it
