My season opener at the "fun job"....


Monday finally brought just a bit of snow. Ian and I both had our first day of the season at our second jobs. Christmas, in a way, as I skied on the new boards, and we had a bit of snow for me to try them on. Only 6 runs open... pretty sparse for a mountain of 99 runs.

Yes, Ian is there, too, as a lift operator. He has worked there for the final 6 weeks of the last 2 seasons, after all the international employees go home and they are desperate for workers.
This year he decided a little too late (they had finished hiring the lift operators) that he wanted to work there again, and got a jobimmediately, without question. He's a hard worker, and builds a lift ramp better than just about anyone! Anyone want to ski at DV? Ian has extra passes, too.

Ian took this picture with his phone and sent it to me...sorry it's sideways... I'm technologically impaired.
