Sunshine is the bomb!
We finally made the trip to Sunshine Village (20 mins past Banff) on Monday to find ourselves knee deep in powder!
It was crazy...I got stuck so many times...trying to drag yrself out to not so deep snow...also fantastic for landing in cos there's no way yr going to hurt yrself..unless of course you find a tree stump, rock or some other nasty hidden object.
the visibility was really low and it snowed all day but it just meant we made the trip back there the next day for some more...
here's a couple of photos from the second day I forgot to put in the new album i uploaded...
On the second day visibility was great, sunshine was out and while the snow was a little tracked out there was still heaps of snow to play in...Followed Dick, Khan and Bryan who lead me to this cliff edge...I proceeded to screech at them there was no way I was going down it but then i realised there was no other way...edged down it then straightlined out the base so I could get over a flat bit that ended in a hill...found the hill was actually more like a lip and flew over the top of it arms flailing and POOF! landed in a bunch of powder on the other side...ha ha much fun...
People are starting to quit or just leave left right and center around here...combination of poor management, hypocrisy and bad people skills is leaving everbody questioning what they're doing here. RCR treat their employees like crap and get away with it because it's seasonal employment. A lot of the returning staff from last year are starting to question if they'll bother coming back next year. None of the lifties will be back..that's for sure...maybe the supervisors but none of us would even think about returning with the crap that we've had to deal with...anyways, only a month or so to go now and apart from people quitting, a lot of the Chileans and Peruvians are heading home to go back to uni so the place is going to start emptying out...and we're going to be working more..which is kinda ok as our paychecks have been really low the last couple of weeks...
Erm...I don't think i have anything else to report...I applied for a job in Canmore doing ad layout for a local newspaper and they seem interested so I might do that 3 days a week...get a bit of money back in the bank...Khan's ipod magically started working again, although it's hyper sensitive to the cold...erm that's it...more photos here http://www.3littlepenguins.com/photos/canada/Jan-Feb/index.html
