PAJARITO MOUNTAIN News:

With Father’s Day approaching, we thought it’d be fun to mention a father-son duo who enjoy working together and playing together at Pajarito Mountain — Tom and Tommy Long.

Tom is a 50-year ski industry veteran and has been working at Pajarito for the past 14 years. Tommy began working at Pajarito in 2009.

While working at Pajarito, Tommy has learned a lot from his dad, including running a successful business, maintaining the property, hard work and dedication all while honing his skiing technique. Tom first took Tommy skiing in a backpack at Sandia Peak when he was just 21 days old. At age 2, Tom hooked Tommy up to his first pair of skis and they have adopted skiing as one of their favorite pastimes together.

This dynamic duo credits their unbreakable working relationship to one simple principle: give and take. Together the Longs tackle a vast array of issues head-on with grace and humor – even when they find themselves in a sticky situation like cleaning the sewers out.
 

It’s no secret these two spend a whole lot of quality time together. When they’re not burning the midnight oil making snow or grooming out corduroy, they love to fish and watch a variety of sports (football is their favorite). On Sunday, you’ll find them working on the mountain before heading to Tommy’s house to tinker on a construction project.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dad’s out there!
