I started early at 7am and just shared a station at the bottom of solar with a girl named Naomi.
Monday was a pretty rainy day compared to Sunday (above photo)
We just chatted and then helped the occasional camp skier and boarder load up on the lift. Half way through the day was when it was really slow, barely anyone came down or up the lifts. It was just really cold and we relaxed in the liftie hut. Someone came at 11 to relieve us of our shift so we can have our breaks. The person I met was really cool and he's been living in BC all his life. He and I had quite a bit in common since we both were familiar with the freeskiing scene. It was just a chatty day and Naomi and I got off at 5pm.
On Sunday, I woke up late due to an alarm clock failure on my phone. I rushed to work and was told to go to the springs building. I showed up and my manager (Matt) gave me a level 1 warning. Knowing what I need to do next, I went out and bought an alarm clock that for sure wasn't going to fuck up on me. Since the positions were pretty filled today, Matt told me I can take the day off and do whatever I want. I decided to go up skiing in the glacier and see how it was. I knew a girl that surfs Newschoolers was looking for someone to shred with and we actually met up on the glacier and rode together for the whole day. She was working as a liftie for the winter and transferred over as a volunteer to get a free pass while working part time at a restaurant. It got really rainy, cold and was nearly closing time. We headed down together to the locker rooms and got the bus back up to the staff housing. She lived on the third floor while I was on the fourth, we agreed to ski again on thursday when I was off work so I'm looking forward to it.
