Check out the world's first ski-in/ski-out Starbucks

The just-opened Starbucks -- on a Squaw Valley, Calif. mountain at elevation 8,000 feet -- invites customers to keep their skis or board on while they order their drinks.

“We worked closely with the design team at Starbucks to create a one-of-a-kind experience that we know our guests will truly enjoy,” said Andy Wirth, Squaw Valley's president and CEO. “Nowhere else in the world can skiers and riders enjoy a delicious Starbucks coffee without missing a beat on the slopes.”

Well, I'll be- that is just a very cool looking place to work- I'll bet there will be plenty of ski bums applying for that job-no disrespect meant about ski bums- just don't know the current word!

Surely the term should be a "Ski Through".

I always buy Verona bold and have it ground for a French press! Best coffee in the world. Today I stopped at the Grover Cleveland rest area on NJ Tpk north. I asked the attendants to grind a pound for my French press. They looked at each other and shrugged. I walked out. Starbucks better train their employees how to grind coffee. In this case Gover Cleveland Starbucks lost a food, beverage and pound of coffee sale.

I don't have a reference, but I believe this was already tried in Canada once before. Back in the 90's.
