Friday morning we were blessed by the gods and woke up to a frosting of the land. I wasn't as excited as others, but when I went out to touch the railing I realised it was all slush, wet snow. The snow falls from the sky, lands on your jacket and melts, none of this brushing off business just yet ( Read more... )

Some may argue that this is a "travel" journal, as I have never disagreed with, but I AM going to disagree with ANYONE who says that my working in Falls Creek is not some sort of journey or travel ( Read more... )

My time at Lake Disease came to an end. I fixed everything that was bad there with me and other people and everything is dandy and I'm in San Francisco. Today I walked roughly 10km from Pier 5 along the water to the Golden Gate bridge (look on a map). It's a long way.

I'm coming home soon! Yay!

It's been puking down with snow since early morning (time is unknown but we're thinking 3am/4am) and the powder today on fresh tracks was knee-deep! Total insanity! Best powder day I've had!

I've had an interesting past few days. Everyone is leaving and soon I will be leaving, but it all feels quite surreal. I spent two/three days of work finding everything a little too hilarious because after my recent break-up I wrote my now former boyfriend a letter, but I was too trashed to remember what I wrote in it exactly.

So so so. Not much has happened except that I have become an AMAZING skiier, I've bought an INCREDIBLE snowboard (Stepchild Chick Stick) and things are great. Less great things include: my roommate is leaving tomorrow (nooo! don't leave me Doris!!) and daylight savings just happened so we lost an hour of sleep last night ( Read more... )

It's getting warmer here, the past two days of sun have started to melt the snow, making it very icy. I'm assuming snowboarding conditions are pretty bad, but I wouldn't know since I was working for the past 5 days and today I'm just chilling out, trying to get over this cold. It's been almost a week now since I've been sick but it's a lot better ( Read more... )

Once again I have found myself in Lake Disease/Louise in the over-populated Chucktown. Job opportunities have come about and today I plan on discussing such employment with retail at the ski hill. My chances look okay since I know some people in retail already and I previously worked for RCR. Enough about work ( Read more... )
