Good news! Im still alive, and im still fine.
The last few weeks have mostly consisted of working, occasionally drinking, trying my best to ski, and a whole lot of sleeping.
Im loving the work - not only do I get to ski pretty often, im afforded constant entertainment in the form of watching people fail to get on a chair lift. Other benefits to working on the mountain include massive guns from shovelling snow, and the new bonus of getting id'd in bars a lot less due to my face now looking its age. Yay.
For those who doubt my skiing ability (as if my idea that playing hockey for 10 years would make skiing a breeze was somehow misguided) I can report that im doing FINE, THANK YOU, DAD. I have yet to attend a lesson, but ive been paying close attention to people who look like they know what theyre doing (as it turns out, they usually don't). Im happy to report that I can safely get down the hill on intermediate runs. Lets not mention the lack of grace, style, or anything remotely resembling skill. Im pretty sure im ready to hit the terrain park and teach myself to do backflips. Learn by doing, right?
So im living in Sherwood Manor Hotel, which sounds a lot better than it is. My two room holiday apartment is shared with three boys and is actually pretty good for $98 a week each. While it seems like a lot of beds shoved into a space much too small for 4 people, its actually decent, and always warm, no extra bills on top and 10gb wifi per month free. Two rooms and a kitchenette is much easier to clean than a whole house. The thing I currently like most about the manor is that there is a sauna, which is the BEST thing after a day of throwing kids into chairs and tumbling headfirst into drifts of snow.
Ill start putting pictures up on the blog when im at work (ive been taking full advantage of the free unlimited staff wifi) as the veiws from work are bloody amaze, and sometimes the only thing that keeps me from losing it on days where im cold, wet, sore, and extremely snotty kids are throwing snowballs at me. Living the dream!
I can't think of anything else to update, ive got no funny stories that are family appropriate. (Hi gran!)
