Skiing! (A REAL post!)
I'm sorry. I've been neglecting this. And when I have updated, it's been mostly Book Bundle stuff. Today, I've got a proper entry. *g*
I've got a job for the ski season!! Yay! *dances round the room*
I actually found out the day before we left for Canada, but didn't have time to post then, and when I got back, and caught up enough to post things, then it had almost become old news. I forgot I hadn't posted it yet.
I'm going to work for a company called 'Ski Activity' who are based in Scotland, and I'll be working in the 'Hotel Christiania'. It's actually somewhere I've stayed with my family twice before. On the one hand, I would have liked to go to a resort or ski area that I hadn't been to before. On the other, it means I know exactly what to expect from this hotel, and from the skiing. I know the hotel is a good size for me - small enough to be friendly. The skiing is very good, and I know it has plenty for my ability level.
I'm so excited! Going to be in Glasgow on Saturday, and I'm taking the opportunity to hunt around for extra salopettes, base layers, gloves, & a new ski jacket. Lots of fun!
Here's a photo of the hotel:
And one from their dining room window:
When we've been before, it's been Easter, so there hasn't been enough snow to ski along there to the bottom of the lift. It will be cool to see this resort in the best parts of the season, and skiing to the door will be great!
I'll be doing waitressing/housekeeping, and I should have at least 5-6 hours a day to be out on the slopes. The lift pass we get is the one they offer the local residents, so it covers three local resorts - it will be fun to explore the snow over at the other two! I haven't been there before.
It's so exciting! Yay!
