Snowin' all day!

Whistler, BC 1C Snowing
Hey there folks! Good news, we now have operating internet which is a definite plus. Means updating the blog isnt a three day operation! Since I've last updated, we've basically been up on the mountain shredding each day. Last week was a bit tough on the emotions though, we had a 10cm drop at the start of the week which gave us plenty of fluffy powder, but then the temperature dropped to -10 over night and it all froze instead of staying nice. What followed was about 5 days of the snowmakers dusting the mountain as fast as they could to keep up with the freezing piste's. One figure we came across was the at one point, the snowmakers had converted 9 million gallons over water into snow in the past 24 hours!

With the season now running fairly late and only about 10 of the 200 or so runs open, the weather had to break eventually, which I'm hoping it has. Waking up this morning I took the picture you see above. Last night there was no white coverage on the ground and now today its covered and has still been snowing hard for a good 4 hours now. Alas, enough about the snow. Had a crazy sighting last night while we were sitting in the lounge room watching a movie, right outside the window a wolf stalks past. Really takes me back to how close to the wilderness we are, with thick forest starting only a couple of hundred metres from the staff housing area.

Anyways, I best be off! It's noon here and I'm still sitting in my pyjamas, gotta head off to a staff meeting. Apparently this is where they drill us with the Connect/Assist/Exceed service goals. And yes Fridays peeps A+'ing plays a big part of the manual as well! Shouldn't be too hard to get into the swing of it.

I'll try and post a bit more tonight about where I'm working because it seems like it's gonna be a real cool place. Halfway up the mountain just above the cloud settling point, with outdoor patio and outdoor bbq that we'll get to rotate shifts on! Awesome!

Speak soon!
