Top Week

This week has been fantastic.

Started with inventory at work which was actually really good fun thanks to a 5 hour energy shot that left everyone reeling.

Worked a couple of days and them my 3 day break began.

Been skiing loads and I'm really coming on.

Loving every minute out here and even the bad parts seem to have brightened up.

I'm now on my third pair of headphones, they keep on breaking. :(

Still no sign of the goggles or the package from home, post must be even slower than usual.

First injury of the season yesterday, I came off in the park and did something to my right leg. Skied on it today and I didn't feel to great until the latter half of the day.

I'll be back there tomorrow so I hope thats the only injury this month.

Hoarding Receipts and Snow Armada

So the snow keeps on coming at work, if a place isn't packed down i'll step up to my waist in snow.

Things over here are fantastic, payday came and went and i'm a jacket and a helmet less rich. i'm independent of my home money which is really nice so i'm properly surviving.

Work is really cool ride breaks have started and things are really hotting up. There's a sales promotion with some goggle companies at the moment so every receipt i rack up i have started to keep and horde obsessively. I have sold 12 pairs so i should get these in the post in 1/2 weeks.

Hell yeah!

Hiked off into the backcountry today with some mates, made quite a big kicker into a powder slope, it was pretty damn cool but we didn't really get it finished. They're going back tomorrow. I'm working.

Inventory at work on friday so i might not get home until 11 at night after getting up at 6.30.

Its all good here though.

Finally it begins

Above is the best skiing i have ever done, powder up to my eyes and fantastic slopes.

What an opening day.

Working tomorrow so i'll be up to my eyes in customers not powder. This week has been fantastic and i'm sure the next week will be just as good.

I'm on track, skiing and happy as hell.

First Slopes and work gets Easier

^ My favorite Canadian soda

So this week has been a bit of a blur, we went for a ski on Sunday at Norquay which was great fun. Apart from me sucking at skiing and the slope being only as long as a snowdome back home.

It was great to get a ski in though, I finally feel like I'm doing what I'm here to do.

The snow is piling up at work and we'll almost definitely have a good year for snow and a better year for skiing.

Work is still monotonous but getting better, today the whole team was in, all twelve of us 6 guys 6 girls. Training has started and tagging is slowing down as the shop starts to look less like a sweatshop and more like a pro retail shop.

The steak night has now become a permanent feature of tuesday. You get a steak on thick bread with sweet potato fries and salad for $8 + tax + tip. Tipping sucks dick here, its expected of everyone in everywhere.

:(

This week will be good as I settle into work and maybe get another ski this weekend.
