working.

so, not only do i snowboard there, but ive also worked at the ski hill.
it was, perhaps .. the best job that i have had yet.
although, sometimes it wasn't so great. like doing parking! who wants to direct moody traffic at 730 in the morning? and to top it off, we got to wear super hot bright orange and yellow vests. wooot. not so fun. especially on the cold days, which we had alot of. i only had to do parking a couple times though, so i wont complain.
the best part of working at a ski hill? no one cares. as long as you get what you need to get done, and you dont screw it up so much that someone complains, you're all set to go.
working t-bar 3 and 4 was the best. you know how they say, "out of sight, out of mind" ? it's true. we were totally out of sight from anyone (other then those using the tbar, of coarse) but, when no one was using the tbar, we had to keep warm somehow right? and what better way to stay warm then to steel a lunch tray from the caff. , stand on that tray, and take a ride up the tbar then back down again? it was a good time.

the first or second shift that i ever had at the ski hill, though, i was working with another girl (i wont say her name) and she was also new. neither of us were, obviously, really great at the job yet. and.. to make a long story short, she smacked someone in the head with the tbar, almost knocked her out .. not good! after that, she tried again ..a nd got smacked in the back .. she was furiouse! so then she went and complained. needless to say, i worked the tbar the rest of the night and the other girl i was working with just "supervised" me .

there were so many other great times there, we used to build snow forts at the tbar stands, and couches and stuff like that. awsomeness, what job lets you do that? none, except the ski hill of coarse.
