Forecasted -19 in Calgary on Wednesday! OUCH!
So we had +4-7 degree days a couple of days ago and now it's snowing...
We've had probably about 20-30cm in two days which is fantastic...but it's forecasted -19 degrees for Wednesday, -24 in Canmore which is closer! and oh and shit, I'm rostered on Gold, which means outside a lot of the time...
Khan will be working as well...ugh and he's on the midnight to noon shift which means he's gonna be out there in the coldest part of the night making snow...poor baby...apparently when they're working they don't like natural snow. Was speaking to one of the other snowmakers and he was saying a gun run (checking to make sure they're working properly etc.) usually takes about half an hour, it took them 5 hours as they had to dig the guns out of all the snow the other night... ekk...
They're currently working on one of the runs home which I'm happy about...it'll be great being able to board down to the base...Just sucks that it's mostly man made...
Oh and one thing I forgot to mention about Khan going into snowmaking, which incidentally he's liking, is that they finish up in Feb, they get their season pass, a bonus and are either allowed to leave graciously or stay on as lifty scum. This means we can leave then if we want and get into other places for half price (by leaving early I forgo my season pass and bonus)...not sure what we're going to do yet, leaving our options open...

shit...-19...you could die out there Khan!!! Hope you're wearing all your snow gear...maybe skin some 'coons and make a fur hat or something if you need to...it is about 27 and sunny in Melbourne town today...looks like some good summer weather coming up finally, has been a bit patchy of late though. Cheers folks! Have fun!
