What to do, what to do? It's been an interesting week. I've declined job offers and I've received job offers. So I'm currently pondering whether I want to work at all this season.
In the meantime, I've been having a great time at the hostel, being the oldest one here, but still getting involved in all the antics.
The hostel hosts a pub crawl every Sunday and last week we had 95 people on it, ending in me looking after one of the workers from the hostel in Mackies at 2am. I vaguely remember mentioning "I'm just here for the Nugs!" when the manager threatened to call the police, shortly followed by a scene out of Team America and me having to clean up a lot of his vomit. Ahhh the things I'll take away from this experience. Anyway, I should also make special mention to spotting some interesting apparel whilst out in the town. The future is now people! You can take your pet anywhere, but it has to be in a "pokeball" themed rucksack, with vision bubble.
And it's definitely turned from Autumn to Winter here. The first real dump of snow has also occurred and the temperatures rarely rise above -5C. All of which has lead me to finally getting my Season ticket!!
So yeah, yesterday was my first day on the mountain. I'm incredibly fortunate to have some good people at the Hostel that I've come to spend most of my time with. Such a rich, diverse background and nations - not many and all English speaking (Aussies, Canadians, Brits (can't help it)) but they are hilarious. But importantly this is why I'm here!
So after declining one job that wanted me to live on the mountain, where you can't get back to the town due to the times of the gondola, I'm now apparently sort after from Sunshine. So the ball is in my court for once, which is nice.
Come Monday I'm going to have a chat with another chap from Sunshine Village and see what his offer is. Until then, lets ski!
