Surprisingly Awesome Day at work

Today started off like any other ordinary day at work at the Canyons, but it turned into a pretty awesome day actually. In fact it might just have been one of the best days i've had yet. Its kind of funny because i really didn't expect it to work out that way. Firstly it was raining, which majorly sucks, it reminds me of being in Scotland skiing (which is never good) and secondly I was on Timberline, Timberline is a sucky lift, I'd always rather be on Iron Mountain. Its so much more chill over there.

Today went super fast, it was amazing. At 9.30am Iron Mountain (the new lift) had an electrical fire, so was out of service until just after 11, that also means that Timberline wasn't running either as its the access lift to Iron Mountain. That was pretty cool, it gave us the morning just to chill out. I was also working with Giles today, who is easily one of the funniest people I have met in such a long time. I've laughed so much today. The best part of the day was when I got to meet the Canyons Moose (mascot). What's even weirder is that I didn't even do a single run break.

Just a really sweet day, I hope many more are like today...

(I thought this was really funny, Giles' blockade to prevent guests loading the lift!? wouldn't the closed sign have done???)

Banksy

So it seems Banksy has hit the streets of Park City once again. This one was from last Sundance (2010)... will the master return again this year?

Rocking the skis

This season i am making it my mission to be at least an intermediate skier. I think it would be a waste of a good opportunity not to, with $10 rentals and free lessons, i'm all set. Today was the start of our skiing experience this season, to start with i was a little sketchy to say the least. Rob rocked it as per predicted. Git! He even did a rail. Boo. Just a little bit jealous. Although by the end of the day, i reckon i was back to the standard i was at the end of last season (it didn't really take much,lol). Now i just want my own pair of skis, donations will be generously excepted.

This evening we are going for a free and delightful meal at the Christian Centre followed by a night of funky house at Ciseros, tomorrow at work should be interesting. Its a shame I was suppose to be off.

Thank you very much the Christian Centre!

Today we went to the Christian Centre as we had actually no food in the house what so ever, by the time we'd finished we had enough food to feed a small army. Result. Not bad for a $3 donation. $3 well spent!

My first ever Sushi experience...

For some reason I've never ever tried sushi before, maybe because I don't really like the idea of raw fish? I'm not sure, I just thought I'd never like it. To be honest it wasn't so bad, some dishes were really good and other not so, I'd go again, it just wouldn't be my first choice.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I Hope everyone had a fantastic New Years Eve and the year so far has been splendid! Our New years Eve this year wasn't a patch on last years, but it was well needed all the same. We just went to the cinema and watch Tron (epic movie) and went to bed, Rob woke me up at midnight kissed me and then I went back to sleep. Thats as exciting as it gets! This new years day was so nice, I was fully of beans, on time, happy and what was best is that I didn't feel like anyone else around me. Good times. Rob and I are a little partied out to say the least, but we in no way over did... I've had some amazing nights. I was even told I should be payed as a promoter, as this one guy has seen me in the club so often.

So far this year has been amazing. Had some really great days at work and I've done some pretty sweet riding, first tracks two days running. Lets see if I can make it a hattrick. Here's a few pics of the year so far...
