great day, the sun was out and we were out on the slopes doin new things. Morning was checking snow packs - cutting into the snow and looking for different snow sections to deem if it was safe or not. Then followed a trip out with Mike, one of the instructors. He took us out on the mountain boarding, looking at different avalanche proceedures. This however included some black runs, and yes i did shit myself!!!! The phrase "just drop in here" was not welcomed with open arms. I prefer to see the slope before attempting to get on it. Next was beacon training, how to find a buried person. Followed by practicing digging techniques, yes digging techniques. It took 11 minutes for 8 of us to get to a section 1.5m below the snow level. Roomie bled everywhere after getting over excited with his shovel!! Tremendous day, ended with a cool beer.
Gangsta Party - Arranged by Dan before he left, twas a good nights drinking. A bit of dress up followed by many beers and a slight hangover the following day.
Saturady from hell - When one side of the mountain is not operating all the punters migrate across to the other side. Well that happened today in a major way today. We had strong winds so the lifts that ran were at a slow rate and we didn't have all of them working for safety reasons. This lead to queues up to an hour long and some very unhappy customers. Some needed to talk about there anguish, thats where my job comes into play. FUN FUN FUN!!
