Colorado Mountains are setting records for snowfall!

The month of November delivered a huge bonus of snowfall in the Colorado Rockies.  The ski areas are enjoying large snow bases of 3 feet and beyond.  Steamboat Springs has over 74 inches!

Guess it’s time to skip work and head out to the slopes!

See ya…

Good News for IT Professionals

The Denver Business Journal reported this week that small tech companies are hiring at a rate not seen since the tech boom of the late 1990’s.

Greg Barman a senior technical recruiter for The Innovar Group stated, "Recruiters are seeing a general uptick.  It’s not quite across-the-board recovery, but it’s fairly broad."

OK folks in need of a Colorado Job, get your apps in.  It’s time to relocate to Denver Colorado.
