More Jobless Idling



So things have got a little more fun and a lot more expensive.

I have my Norquay pass.
So expect some ski pics soon

Oh Dear

So things have taken an unexpected turn.

I was fired from sunshine because of suspicious activity with the security cameras. I think it's just sunshine setting an example and letting everyone know they can just be fired and replaced in 30 seconds.
So inevitably i've been a bit less busy, I've been applying to jobs all across Banff but haven't had much luck just yet. It'll come though I just have to make sure I don't loose my mind waiting for it.

So i'm buying a Mt Norquay Ski pass and i'm gunna push my skiing until i'm kick-ass and then attack the big mountains come mid season when cheap passes come out.

Its the gap year party tonight so that should be cool.

I might have a mid-week-update just because I have the time.

Cold




So winter is really setting in.

Today it was -27 degrees out which makes for a really frosty day, and the nights are getting much colder. I think I might have to buy an extra blanket soon.
The saviour of the week however was the boot warmer who sits in the top of the wet cold ski boots and makes them toasty for the next day and asks for nothing in return. I think we could all learn something from him.



Christmas is in the air and Banff is starting to step up to one of the busiest times of the year. Christmas parties and events are planned up to the 15th where the black out period begins. I will likely work 6 days a week and be super busy for a couple of weeks where the whole of North America rushes to sunshine to get their own 'white Christmas'.

I'm still getting enough skiing in and even though it's super cold out it's still fantastic.
