Perhaps youve heard that Vermont has more craft brewer-ies per capita than any other state. Of course, we only have 626,000 people but our 29 breweries (and counting) keep us well sated. Our secrets are out, too: Beer lovers from

across the country make pilgrimages to the Northeast Kingdom to visit Greensboro Bends innovative Hill Farmstead Brewery. Another beer produced in Vermont, Heady Topper, earned a perfect 100 score from the discerning readers of Beer Advocate no small feat.

Regardless of season, the Green Mountain State welcomes beer-brained tourists with open arms. The Vermont Brewers Association hands out punch cards to people who want to trek to all the states breweries. But even if youre here for just a day or two, microbrewer-ies abound not far from Burlington and with some offering deli-cious pub fare, as well.

Be sure to call ahead for hours, as they can shift with the season.

Thirsty traveler? How about a brewery tour?

bUrlingTon AreALong before the craft-beer craze, there was Vermont Pub & Brewery. Twenty-fi ve years ago, visionary brewer Greg Noonan opened the states fi rst brewpub, and probably every Burlingtonian at some time has taken a seat on its College Street patio, pint of fresh beer in hand. Its a great spot on a sunny day, or on a warm night listening to live music. Indoors during colder months, the pub scene is lively and friendly.

Nearby on St. Paul Street, the Zero Gravity brewery is tucked out of sight within American Flatbread Burlington Hearth but at the eaterys long bar, you can quaff some of the best beers in Vermont, from rauchbier to Belgian-style dubbel.

Another treasure can be found in Burlingtons South End: Switchback Brew-ing, which off ers samples of its signature yeasty ale and tours every Saturday. A mile further still, in South Burlington, is the carnival-like Magic Hat Brewing, where a kaleidoscope of samples is always on off er inside the whimsical Artifac-tory. You need to see it to understand.

Further down Route 7 in Shelburne, Magic Hat alum Matt Cohen runs Fiddle-head Brewing. In his friendly, industrial-looking tasting room, staff ers off er pours of their fl agship, hoppy Fiddlehead IPA, along with seasonal brews. Fancy more than a taste? Tote a growler into the wood-fi red pizzeria next door.

rgion de bUrlingTonLe Vermont Pub & Brewery tait l bien avant lengouement pour la bire artisanale: il y a 25ans, Greg Noonan, brasseur visionnaire, a ouvert la premire brasserie-pub de ltat. On peut dire sans trop de crainte de se tromper qu un moment ou un autre, depuis lors, tous les habitants de Burlington ont pris place sur la terrasse donnant sur College Street pour savourer une pinte de bire bien frache. Cest lendroit idal pour relaxer quand il fait soleil et pour couter un concert par une belle soire dt. Durant les mois plus froids, lambiance du pub est anime et amicale.

Tout prs de l, sur St. Paul Street, la brasserie Zero Gravity ne se livre pas immdiatement aux regards, elle se trouve lintrieur de lAmerican Flatbread Burlington Hearth. Au long bar du restaurant, vous pourrez goter certaines des meilleures bires du Vermont, de la Rauchbier la belge Dubbel.

Vous trouverez un autre trsor dans le quartier South End de Burlington Switchback Brewing, qui off re des chantillons de sa bire vedette au got de levure; le samedi, vous pouvez faire une visite des lieux. South Burlington, 1,6km plus loin, ne manquez pas la Magic Hat Brewing, o il rgne une ambiance festive; choisissez parmi le large ventail dchantillons qui sont toujours of-ferts lintrieur de lArtifactory, aux allures fantaisistes. Il faut le voir pour bien comprendre...

En continuant sur la Route7, Shelburne, dcouvrez la Fiddlehead Brewing, gre par Matt Cohen, qui travaillait auparavant au Magic Hat. Dans la salle de dgustation de facture industrielle ce qui ne lempche pas dtre chaleureuse , les employs versent lIndia Pale Ale (IPA) Fiddlehead, produit phare de ltablissement, ainsi que dautres bires saisonnires. Vous avez faim? Emportez votre growler et allez goter la pizza au feu de bois, juste ct.

ST. AlbAnS14th Star Brewing Co. may be discreetly tucked into a St. Albans side street, but the Army vet who founded this nanobrewery, Steve Gagner, produces big fl avors: three IPAs, a brown ale and a few other interesting beers. He pours samples or fi lls growlers inside the cozy tasting room on Thurs-day and Friday nights.

SToWe/WATerbUry/morriSvilleStowe may be known for its skiing, but this resort town produces great beer, too. Up the Mountain Road, brewer Will Gilson turns out balanced, German-style beers at Crop Bistro & Brewery, which are tapped in the pub and pair elegantly with Crops hearty, farm-to-fork fare think burgers or warm kale salad topped with pork-belly cracklins. Further up in the hills at the Trapp Family Lodge, the brewery is known for its lagers a black variety among them. All fl ow freely in a caf-bakery that also delivers hearty bratwurst and gorgeous mountain views.

The growing burg of Morrisville is about 10 minutes drive north of Stowe. Here, Matt Nadeau of Rock Art Brewery counts at least 20 beers in his roster, some made with spruce tips or smoked grains. In an industrial park on the edge of town, the guys who run Lost Nation Brewing Jamie Griffi th and Allen Van Anda off er eclectic styles including saison and gose inside a blood-red taproom. If you stop in Thursday through Sunday, youll also be rewarded with tasty pub fare such as house-cured charcuterie and gnocchi with snails and chorizo.

norTHeAST KingdomFor the truly adventurous or just plain beer-crazy the Kingdom is a two-hour drive from Burlington, but the area has some innovative brewers.

Tonkotsu and vegan noodle bowl at Ramen in Burlington

A TASTe of Home

Chefs CornerSouth End, 208 Flynn Avenue, Burlington, 660-7111; and Chefs Corner Caf & Bakery, 2121 Essex Road, Williston, 878-5524The two Chefs Corner eateries owned by chef Jozef Harrewyn are casual, but his bowl of sweet-and-silky butternut squash bisque is worthy of a white tablecloth. The Belgium-born, South Africa-reared chef honed his culinary skills in Antwerp and Versailles before bring-ing them to Vermont.

If youre not into cream soup, try Harrewyns Italian wedding po-tage, filled with beefy meatballs. Theres always at least one vegetar-ian option, too.

Feldmans Bagels, 660 Pine Street, Burlington, 540-0474Even if you dont have a Yiddishe Bubbe, the dill-flecked chicken broth of this matzoh ball soup will strike a comforting chord. Chunky carrots, onions and celery melt in the salty soup, while chunks of local Misty Knoll Farms chicken make it hearty. But the main attraction is the kneidlach itself, in all its tender glory.

You wont need to supplement this soup with one of the cafs perfectly chewy, New York-style bagels, but you probably wont be able to help yourself.

Vermont Sports Grill, 1705 Williston Road, South Burlington, 860-2009This locally owned sports bar can keep you au courant on your favorite games, but theres always soup with that, no matter what you order a cup comes with every entre on the menu. So whether you order Meatloaf Mountain or lobster pie, youll get something extra to stick to your ribs.

The best bang for your buck is the chicken potpie, a rich, herba-ceous stew topped with puff pastry. Or you can slurp creamy seafood chowder filled with shrimp, crab, scallops and clams.

Logans of Vermont, 30 Main Street, Burlington, 489-5935Vegetarians and meat lovers both will be enticed by the daily rotation

Chefs CornerSouth End, 208 Flynn Avenue, Burlington, 660-7111; et Chefs Corner Caf & Bakery, 2121 Essex Road, Williston, 878-5524Les deux tablissements Chefs Corner appartenant au chef Jozef Harrewyn sont dcontracts, mais sa bisque de courge musque la texture soyeuse est digne des grandes occasions. Ce chef cuisinier, qui est n en Belgique et a grandi en Afrique du Sud, a dvelopp ses tal-ents culinaires Anvers et Versailles avant de sinstaller au Vermont.

Si vous naimez pas les potages crmeux, essayez sa soupe aux boulettes de viande typique des mariages litalienne. Le menu com-prend toujours une option vgtarienne.

Feldmans Bagels, 660 Pine Street, Burlington, 540-0474Mme si vous navez pas de grand-mre qui parle le yiddish, vous trouverez rconfortant le bouillon de poulet parfum laneth de la soupe aux boulettes de matzo de Feldmans Bagel. Carottes, oignons et cleri agrmentent cette soupe sale, que les morceaux de poulet local provenant des Misty Knoll Farms rendent particulirement nourrissante. Mais les boulettes de matzo, ou kneidlach, si typiques et savoureuses, restent la principale attraction.

Inutile de complter cette soupe par lun des bagels new-yorkais du caf, mais vous ny rsisterez probablement pas.

Vermont Sports Grill, 1705 Williston Road, South Burlington, 860-2009Dans ce bar damateurs de sports local, o lon vous tiendra au cou-rant des plus rcents pointages, on vous servira toujours une tasse de potage, peu importe ce que vous commandez. Que ce soit un pain de viande des montagnes ou un pt au homard, vous commencerez invariablement par une bonne petite soupe.

Le meilleur choix est sans doute la timbale de poulet, un ragot savoureux rehauss de fines herbes et recouvert dune pte feuil-lete. Vous pouvez aussi opter pour la chaudre de fruits de mer, un potage crmeux regorgeant de crevettes, de crabe, de ptoncles et de palourdes.

no matter your point of origin, stepping off the plane into Vermonts winter wonderland is an experience. It can be so white, so clean and so cold. Travelers this time of year are likely bundled up, but even so, a hot bowl of soup provides a warm welcome. Whether youre looking for something homey and hearty or a bowl of haute cuisine, local restaurants are waiting to ward off the chill and weve got a few favor-

ites to recommend. Quel que soit votre point de dpart, descendre de lavion au coeur de la blancheur hivernale du Vermont est toute une exprience. Lair est si pur et si froid. Les voyageurs qui arrivent en cette saison sont videmment emmitoufls, mais il reste quun bon bol de soupe commence bien le sjour. Que vous recherchiez un potage paysan ou un velout raffin, vous trouverez de quoi vous rchauffer dans lun des restaurants locaux et nous en avons quelques-uns vous conseiller.

of hearty warmers at this take-out or sit-down caf. Most days, a hand-chalked blackboard lists half a dozen options. If youre lucky, youll hit a day when the carrot-rosemary soup is available.

Its mouth feel is so rich, you wont believe this soup has no butter. Other wholesome indulgences include lamb and barley, Moroccan sweet

potato and classics such as chicken noodle and potato leek.

A World of flAvor

Pho Hong, 325 North Winooski Avenue, Burlington, 865-8031If not done right, Vietnamese noodle soup can be one-note. Thats not the case at this popular BYO restaurant. Roasted beef bones provide the sturdy base to which chef Lan Hong adds intricate tastes of anise, cinnamon, cloves, carda-mom and coriander.

Plates of fresh mix-ins such as basil and cilantro add a sparkling taste of summer. This big bowl is sure to bolster you against the cold.

Leunigs Bistro & Caf, 115 Church Street, Burlington, 863-3759Sometimes the perfect meal means nothing more than an excellent iteration of a dish youve had a hundred times before. Such is lunch or dinner that includes chef Donnell Collins standout onion soup gratine.

The bistro classic boasts an ultra-rich beef broth, sweetened with wine. A blend of Alpine cheeses crackles and stretches over the croutons, which soak up every bit of caramelized onion flavor. If meat is not your thing, try the equally delicious soupe au pistou, a Leunigs staple.

Farahs Place, 147 North Winooski Avenue, Burlington, 540-3093Ready for a kick-aash meal? Persian soup, known as aash, is an uncommon way to eat your meal with a spoon. Tehran native Farah Oberlender always has at least one vegetarian soup on the menu.

Her standard is aash reshteh, a salty broth green with parsley, spinach and cilantro. Beans and fluffy wheat noodles bolster the potage, while a topping of whey and fried mint adds Eastern flavor.

On Wednesday or Thursday, spoon out all the soup you can eat as part of a buffet dinner that includes grilled meats, Iranian breads, dips and desserts, all for $15.

Ramen, 131 Main Street, Burlington, 863-2244Besides a few small plates, soup is the only thing on the menu here, and chef Brian Jung is dedicated to perfecting it. Dont confuse his thick, chewy noodles with the dehydrated ones that come in a Styrofoam cup. The ramen soups at this casual restaurant are composed of long-simmered stocks made from local animals.

The best of the milky-thick broths are made with a pork base, particularly the curry version, which stirs just a bit of heat into the meaty soup.

Logans of Vermont, 30 Main Street, Burlington, 489-5935Vgtariens et amateurs de viande trouveront leur compte dans ce caf o on peut manger sur place ou emporter sa soupe. Le menu change tous les jours et cinq ou six po-tages sont proposs au tableau. Si vous avez de la chance, la soupe aux carottes et au romarin fera partie de la slec-tion du jour. Elle est si onctueuse que vous ne parviendrez pas croire quelle ne contient pas de beurre.

Dautres soupes roboratives sont offertes, comme celle lagneau et lorge, le potage marocain aux patates douces et quelques classiques comme la soupe poulet et nouilles et le potage poireaux pommes de terre.

Un monde de SAveUrS

Pho Hong, 325 North Winooski Avenue, Burlington, 865-8031Si elle nest pas prpare dans les rgles de lart, la soupe aux nouilles vietnamienne na rien dextraordinaire. Ce nest pas le cas dans ce populaire restaurant o on ap-porte son vin. Le chef Lan Hong fait dabord son bouillon de buf avec des os moelle grills, quil parfume lanis, la cannelle, la cardamome et la coriandre.

On peut aussi ajouter soi-mme un peu de coriandre ou de basilic frais pour donner une petite touche estivale au plat. Un grand bol de cette soupe vous aidera af-fronter le froid.

Leunigs Bistro & Caf, 115 Church Street, Burlington, 863-3759Parfois, le repas parfait se rsume un plat dlicieux que vous avec dj pris des centaines de fois. La soupe loignon gratine du chef Donnell Collins fait partie de ceux-l, le midi comme le soir.

Ce plat de bistro classique est fait dun dlicieux con-somm de buf rehauss de vin. Les crotons recouverts dun mlange de fromages alpins fondus absorbent toute la saveur des oignons caramliss. Et si vous ne mangez pas de viande, essayez la tout aussi dlicieuse soupe au pistou, lune des spcialits du Leunig.

Farahs Place, 147 North Winooski Avenue, Burlington, 540-3093Dcouvrez la soupe persane, appele aash - un moyen inusit de prendre un repas la cuiller. Farah Oberlender, native de Thran, inclut toujours au moins une soupe vgtarienne au menu.

Sa soupe standard est le aash reshteh, un bouillon sal aromatis au persil, aux pinards et la coriandre. Des haricots et des nouilles au bl compltent ce potage, auquel le petit-lait et la menthe frite confrent une saveur orientale.

Le mercredi et le jeudi, vous pouvez remplir votre bol autant de fois que vous le voulez, puisquune formule buf-fet est propose, avec grillades, pains iraniens, trempettes et desserts, le tout pour 15$.

Ramen, 131 Main Street, Burlington, 863-2244En dehors de quelques plats lgers, le menu ne comporte que des soupes ici et le chef, Brian Jung, ne cesse de les perfectionner. Les nouilles paisses quil sert nont absolu-ment rien voir avec les ptes dshydrates offertes dans les tasses de styromousse. Les soupes aux nouilles ramen de ce restaurant dcontract sont faites partir de bouil-lons de viandes locales longuement mijots.

Les meilleurs potages, particulirement onctueux, sont prpars avec du bouillon de porc; essayez-les dans leur version au curry pour ajouter un peu de piquant votre repas.

ever daydreamed of relaxing in front of a fi replace in a woodsy cabin while snow falls softly outside? In Vermont, the reality is even better: think gourmet meals, gorgeous views and primo spirits at some of ski countrys legendary log cabins and lodges.

STone HUT, SToWeOne of the most coveted reservations in Vermont is for a night at this simple bunkhouse near the summit of 4393-foot Mount Mansfi eld. Why? Because dwellers get fi rst tracks at Stowe Mountain Resort after spending the night here, not to mention the thrill of exploring the upper trails with headlamps and maybe telling ghost stories by candlelight while other skiers are way down below.

Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1936, the Stone Hut has a woodstove but no electricity, cooking facilities or heat, so be prepared for a rustic winter camping experience. (Bathrooms and run-ning water are available in a ski patrol building just 100 feet away, and the Fourrunner Quad chairlift can ferry up backpacks until 4 p.m. dur-ing skiing season.) The Stone Hut has four single, wooden bunks and four full-size bunks, all with mattresses, and theres a large wooden dining table. Oh, the stories it could tell.$195 per person overnight; fi rst-come, fi rst-served reservations. Info, 802-253-4010. vtstateparks.com

bUTTernUT CAbin, SleePy HolloW inn, HUnTingTonTwo of Vermonts top endurance athletes help run Sleepy Hollow Inn, which operates this four-bunk cabin in the woods. Its a mile up from the cross-country skiing and snowshoeing center, and there are breathtaking views of Camels Hump from the cabins balcony. Cross-country skiers and snowshoers can pop in for a quick break during the day (bring your own snacks and drinks) or spend the night (bring sleeping bags, matches and kindling for the woodstove; fi rewood is provided). The cabin sleeps up to 12 and off ers no refunds for no-shows. As the proprietors explain, Inclement weather is part of the fun of the cabin.$50 to $100 per overnight; reservations required. Info, 802-434-2283. skisleepyhollow.com

STone HUT, SToWeCe pavillon-dortoir situ proximit du sommet du mont Mansfi eld, dont laltitude est de 1340mtres, est lune des destinations les plus convoites pour une nuit au Vermont. Pourquoi? Parce que le matin, les pensionnaires sont les premiers dvaler les pistes de la station de ski Stowe, sans compter le plaisir dexplorer les pistes du sommet avec des lampes frontales et, peut-tre aussi, de raconter des histoires de fantmes la lueur dune chandelle pendant que les autres skieurs sont encore tout en bas.

Construite par le Civilian Conservation Corps en 1936, la Stone Hut est munie dun pole bois, mais na pas dlectricit, dquipement de cuisson ni de chauff age. Il faut donc tre prt pour une exprience de camping hivernal plutt rustique. (Il y a des salles de bain et leau courante dans le btiment de la patrouille de ski 30 mtres peine, et on peut faire monter son sac dos dans le tlsige Fourrunner Quad jusqu 16h pendant la saison de ski.) On trouve dans la Stone Hut quatre lits superposs de bois une place et quatre lits superpo-ss deux places, tous dots de matelas, ainsi quune grande table de bois, qui pourrait raconter bien des histoires.195$ par personne pour une nuite; rservations sur la base du pre-mier arriv, premier servi.

AllynS lodge, SUgArbUSH reSorT, WArrenIf dining on fondue and pt while sampling a David Bruce Pinot Noir is your idea of roughing it in the woods, then Allyns is the spot for you. Sure, you could spend an hour and 15 minutes snowshoeing or skinning (climbing uphill on skis with special sticky fabric on the bottoms) to the cranberry-red lodge, which is open 24 hours a day at the top of Gadd Peak. But most attendees of the Remote Fireside Wine Dinners at Sugarbush choose to ride a 12-passenger Piston Bully snowcat, nicknamed the Lincoln Limo.

Its a 15-minute ascent through the dark to reach the lodge, where youll find a wood-stoked fire and a four-course meal that might include, for example, garlic soup and zucchini risotto. Dessert is served back at the base area at Timbers, and guests can either ride in the Lincoln Limo or ski down its an electrifying night-time drop down Snowball and Spring Fling. Dinner is $175 per person; reservations required. Info, 802-583-6590. sugarbush.com

ledgeWood yUrT, KillingTon reSorTMongolians never lived in a yurt like this: Strung with twinkling lights, stocked with a full bar and equipped with chefs preparing Cavendish quail and Georges Bank scallops, this yurt offers a five-course, fine-dining experience for adults only. (Children are permitted on special family nights, when the price drops to $59 per person.) Guests arrive after a 15- to 20-minute ride on a sleigh pulled by a snowcat and are seated at tables of six or eight set with pewter plates and water glasses, cloth napkins and candles. Theres a wood-burning stove, seats for about 40 guests, and a posh outhouse for when nature calls. This is an adventur-ous dining experience with all the (jingle) bells and whistles and Vermonts WhistlePig whiskey, too.Dinner is $109 to $119 per person; reservations required.

La plupart des participants aux soupers de Sugarbush (Remote Fireside Wine Dinners) choisissent cependant de monter sur la dameuse Piston Bully, surnomme la Lincoln Limo, qui peut transporter 12 passagers.

Il faut un quart dheure pour monter au pavillon dans le noir. Un feu de bois et un repas quatre services incluant, par exemple, une soupe lail et un risotto aux courgettes vous y attendent. Le dessert est servi en bas au retour Timbers, et les htes peuvent soit reprendre la Lincoln Limo soit redescendre skis une descente lectrisante de nuit sur les pistes Snowball et Spring Fling.

Burlington has three decades of practice ringing in the New Year right: On December 31, the Queen Citys downtown turns into a multimedia performance indoors and out called First Night Burlington. The states largest single-day festival of the arts, it is also family friendly and substance free.

Since debuting in Boston in 1976, the First Night idea has spread to dozens of cities around the globe; Burlington joined the party in 1983. In its 31st anniversary celebration, you can expect musical acts as diverse as rockabilly trio, Starline Rhythm Boys, childrens entertainers Robert, Megan & Emer, and The Vermont Youth Orchestra. There are also dancers, storytellers, Cirkus Smirkus and an 18+ drag show.

Not to be missed are the thunderous Burlington Taiko drummers and fi reworks over Lake Champlain. And if you just want to stay inside, theres a cartoon fest at Merrills Roxy Cinema until midnight. Happy New Year!

Tuesday, December 31, noon to midnight, at various locations in downtown Burlington. Buttons for admission are $20 for adults, $5 for children, free for kids under 3; tickets are required for some shows. Info, 863-6005. fi rstnightburlington.com

Sleigh riDeS at ShelBurne FarMS

Tis the season for tromping through snow and theres certainly no lack of opportunities at Shelburne Farms, a 1400-acre working farm and National Historic Landmark where horse-drawn sleigh rides depart regularly into the winter wonderland.

Layer on the woolies as Percheron draft teams carry passengers through a stunning pastoral setting envisioned by Frederick Law Olmsted, who most famously helped design New York Citys Central Park. See the majestic, turreted Farm Barn in the light of day, or come at night for a narrated star-gazing tour highlighting sky mythology and celestial constellations such as Orion and the Big Dipper. For a more intimate or romantic outing, call ahead to reserve a private ride through the rolling hills. Dashing through the snow, indeed.

Weather permitting, Shelburne Farms will be offering 20-minute sleigh rides the weekends of December 7-8 and 14-15, 11 a.m.-2 p.m., as well as daily, December 21 through January 1 (except Christmas), 11 a.m.-2 p.m. There will also be 30-minute evening sleigh rides on Wednesday, January 15, and Friday, February 14, at 5:30, 6:05 and 6:40 p.m. Prices on website. shelburnefarms.org/calendar

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, wrote Vermonts first poet laureate, Robert Frost, in Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening. But the states white-blanketed landscape is best explored in daylight, and theres no better time than at the Green Mountain Clubs annual trails festival.

Regardless of weather, the Green Mountain Club is the primary caretaker of Vermonts Long Trail the oldest long-distance hiking path in America. The nonprofit not only protects and maintains backcountry lands, it hosts numerous events throughout the year. Outdoorsy types of all ages and ability levels can explore the vast wooded hills and fields with experienced guides.

At the Winter Trails Festival, expect snowshoe lessons and hikes, workshops on winter camping and animal tracking, demonstrations with sled dogs, a scavenger hunt, snow sculpture, great food, live music and more.

Even if theres no snow, you can still enjoy the scenery and the company. And what better way to shake off cabin fever than with a crackling bonfire and a mug of hot cocoa on a crisp, cold day?

rencontrez un emploY de laroport

By MegAn JAMes

Weve all been there: Our flight is delayed or canceled, so we rush up to the gate agent to ask questions, beg to be put on another flight, or simply vent.Its Amane Abdis job to deal with passengers like us. In addition to

checking people in and dealing with their logistics, she fields their ques-tions, concerns, requests and, yes, complaints. For about a year, 22-year-old Abdi has worked as a gate and ticket agent for United Airlines at Burlington International Airport. And shes got the calm demeanor and empathy required to handle the often-irritable flying public.

Abdi, who grew up in Seattle, moved to the Burlington area with her family a little more than a year ago. Since she started working at BTV, shes peeled herself out of bed at 2:50 a.m. every workday to make the trek from her home in Shelburne to her shift, which begins at the ungodly hour of 3:30 a.m. and often doesnt end until 4 p.m.

In addition to her job, Abdi is a student at the Community College of Vermont. She hopes someday to become a nurse.

In the meantime, she enjoys her job at the airport. Its good prepara-tion for a medical profession, Abdi says, which is sure to include similar long hours on her feet, problem solving and, most importantly, keeping the people around her calm.

Amane Abdi, Gate Agent, United AirlinesAgente dembarquement, United Airlines

Cela nous est arriv tous: notre vol est retard ou annul, nous nous prcipitons vers lagent dembarquement pour poser des questions, supplier dtre admis sur un autre vol ou simplement exprimer notre frustration.

Cest prcisment le travail que fait Amane Abdi: soccuper de passagers comme nous. En plus denregistrer les passagers et de prendre en charge les aspects logistiques, elle coute leurs questions, leurs proccupations, leurs demandes et, cest vrai, leurs plaintes aussi. Depuis environ un an, Amane, qui a 22 ans, travaille comme agente dembarquement et de billetterie pour United Airlines lAroport international de Burlington. Et elle a le comportement calme et empathique requis pour ragir aux voyageurs souvent irrits.

Amane, qui a grandi Seattle, a dmnag dans la rgion de Burlington avec sa famille il y a un peu plus dun an. Depuis quelle travaille BTV, elle sextirpe du lit 2h50 la nuit pour faire le trajet de Shelburne, o elle habite, jusqu laroport, o elle commence 3h30. Et souvent, elle ne finit pas avant 16 h.

En plus de son travail, Amane tudie au Community College du Vermont et espre devenir infirmire un jour.

En attendant, elle est contente de son emploi laroport. Elle dit quil la prpare bien un travail dans le domaine de la sant, o elle devra aussi rester debout pendant de longues heures, rgler des problmes et, surtout, maintenir le calme autour delle.

What are your duties as a gate agent?Its not just helping the passengers, its paperwork and making sure everything is accurate. You change seats, you make sure youre listening to what the passengers are asking. There are a lot of things to do.

Tell me about a recent challenge youve faced on the job.The other day there was a passenger with an oxygen mask, and we had an over-sell fl ight, which means we had, like, 52 passengers and 50 seats. It didnt say that [she had health issues] in her reservation. So when we saw her, all of us just looked at each other and thought, Oh my god.

We just made it happen. We got her on the aircraft and pulled some-one else out and rebooked them for the next day. Situations like that happen all the time.

Youre a student, too. What are you studying?I want to be a nurse, so there are a lot of requirements. Im taking math and psychology right now. If Im good with passengers, I can defi nitely do this [work as a nurse]. You most defi nitely have to be really calm working at United. Like, very calm.

People dont tend to be calm in airports.They are not. The fi rst thing they expect is something to go wrong Theres always going to be a problem that you need to solve.

So youre a problem solver, a coordinator and a calmer-downerYeah. Its like, I can take care of you! When I started, I was all over the place. Now Ive seen it all. Theres nothing new.

What do you wish passengers understood better that might make your job easier?There are always going to be irregular ops [operations]. I wish passen-gers could understand that were people. Youre not the only passenger were dealing with. Were going to be dealing with everyone else with the same stories, especially when delays occur and cancelations occur. A lot of the times Ill be at the gate, sometimes by myself, and [a passen-ger] will be dealing with me one person but Ill be dealing with 71 passengers. But it comes with the job. Youre the face of the company.

Has working as a gate agent changed the way you travel when youre a passenger?Im more calm toward the people [who work the gate] now. I dont get all angry. Its more like, Oh, I understand, let me try to make this persons day.

Quelles sont vos responsabilits en tant quagente dembarquement?Je ne dois pas simplement aider les passagers, jai aussi des tches administratives et je dois massurer que tout est exact. Je dois changer les choix de siges et couter attentivement ce que demandent les passagers. Il y a beaucoup faire.

Parlez-moi dun d que vous avez d relever rcemment.Lautre jour, javais une passagre avec un masque oxygne et le vol tait survendu: nous avions 52 passagers et 50 places. Sa rservation nindiquait pas quelle avait des problmes de sant. Quand nous lavons vue, nous nous sommes tous regards en pensant... Oh l la!

Nous nous sommes dbrouills. Nous lavons fait monter bord de lavion et avons dplac un autre passager sur un autre vol le lendemain. Ce sont des situations qui se produisent tout le temps.

Vous tes tudiante. Qutudiez-vous exactement?Je veux devenir infi rmire et les exigences sont trs leves. En ce moment, je suis des cours de maths et de psychologie. Je me dis que si je russis bien auprs des passagers, je peux certaine-ment moccuper des malades. Il faut vraiment tre trs calme pour pouvoir travailler chez United.

Les gens sont rarement calmes dans les aroports.Cest juste. Ils sattendent gnralement ce que quelque chose aille de travers Il y a constamment des problmes rgler.

Votre travail consiste donc rsoudre des problmes, coordonner des activits et calmer les gensPrcisment. Cest un peu comme si je disais aux gens: Je vais moccuper de vous! Quand jai commenc, jtais compltement dsorganise. Maintenant jai vcu un peu toutes les situations, il ny a rien de nouveau.

Que voudriez-vous que les passagers comprennent mieux pour vous faciliter la tche?Il y aura toujours des choses qui ne se passeront pas bien. Jaimerais que les passagers comprennent que nous sommes des personnes, comme eux, et quils ne sont pas les seuls dont nous devons nous occuper. Les autres voyageurs ont les mmes problmes, surtout en cas de retard ou dannulation dun vol. Souvent, je suis la porte dembarquement et un passager vient sadresser moi une seule personne , tandis que moi je devrai interagir avec 71 passagers. Mais cela fait partie de mon travail. Je reprsente la compagnie arienne.

Le fait de travailler comme agente dembarquement a-t-il modi la faon dont vous voyagez lorsque vous tes une passa
