Any game developers?

Are there any game developers here? I am in Southern California (Orange County) now and I am looking to move closer to the mountains and snow. Anyone know of any companies that are close to good skiing? I have a little list already, but I'm curious so see what comes out of the woodwork.

This is just a guess, but I would look heavily at the Seattle area. (I work at a small animation studio, but we do a lot of work for game companies.)

My company does the accounting for Headgate Studios who develop games for EA (Tiger Woods among others). They have been on a hiring rampage recently and are located in Bountiful, UT which is a good place if you want to ski Snowbasin or even LCC or BCC. I could get you contact info if you're interested.

Real no brainer - Nintendo in North Bend (don't know for sure that they do game development at that site) is under 15 minutes from getting your ass on a lift at Alpental when State Patrol aren't looking.

Largest software company in the world based in Redmond might need a games developer or two. Dozens of other smaller local companies.

I can't imagine there being such a concentration outside of Japan.

No need for game developers anymore. Watching chicks playing twister when naked is all that the world needs.

Yeah, I had been looking at the Seattle and Redmond areas.

UTdave, thanks for mentioning Headgate Studios, I hadn't found them yet. I don't need any contact info now, but thanks for the offer, I appreciate it.

If the Seattle connection doesn't work out there's always Rockstar in Leith. A mere two hours to joys of Glenshee.

There are a few small ones in Reno, close to Tahoe. I'll get you more info if interested.

Hmm, future dream job?
