HUGE, EPIC, AWESOME – BLOODY AWESOME!!!!
I didn’t think today was going to be much of a day skiing but it turned out fucking wicked!!!!! (wicked is my new word – head it from this English chick I met last week – pre-blog obviously outherwise you would have heard of here).
I knew it snowed yesterday (my day in town doing groceries and keyboard shopping) but it snowed a little last night and as the resort is nearly closed – nobody had touched my ‘secret’ and most importantly nobody had touched my ‘top secret’ powder stashes. I honestly can’t believe how awesome a day it was!!!!
All morning we skied these chutes in the trees which I could have sworn would have been skied out but nobody had touched them. Then after lunch things warmed up enuf that we could hut some more rocky steep areas. Man it was one of the most epic days I have ever had. If you follow this blog you are going to hear that a lot but I do say – this day was EPIC. I’m adding a new subject category called ‘EPIC Days’.
Time for my second Scotch (I’m sorry everyone – I did pour one before I sat down here). Brad won’t be home for another hr so will knock on his door after another couple. Time for some music and some deep tought!!!!

Today is the last ‘real’ day of the ski season. So far I’m feeling OK but I’m kinda waiting for the depression thing to kick in which will really tell me that I’m leaving and perhaps leaving for good.
It is about 7am and I was kinda happy to realize that I didn’t have a headache this morning – hehehehehe. And this keyboards doesn’t seem quite as bad as I thought I was. I’m off for a ski today with Brian (although I’m not sure how he spells it – it might be Bryan???). He is meeting me outside my ski locker at 8:30am so as the kettle boils I’be got some time to talk.
Man – I hope this blog thing doesn’t consume me completely!!!!
Well I’m sure with my adult pay website (which is dedicated to guys in speedos – but I’m not going to tell you what it is) will be taking up at least some of my time over the next couple of days.
Why not tell you a little about my schedule for the next couple of weeks…..
The SLCSP (Ski Lift Company Staff Party – just incase you forgot what that was – it is one hell of an acronym) is on this coming Monday. Then I’m back at the resort frin the 13th until the 19th helping clean up the resort and shut down the chair lifts and stuff for summer.
After the 19th I’m catching the Greyhound to Banff Springs (I’ll tell you the bullshit story about the springs another day – but I do say right now – the springs do exist – all the same Banff is a great place and I’m looking forward to getting back there).
In Banff I’m staying with some old Kiwi (that is people from New Zealand for all those not in the know) friends of mine for a couple of days. I won’t be seeing the springs in Banff but I will be there for a handful of days. I leave Canada officially on the 25th of April but I don’t arrive in Fiji until the 27th. What is with that????
All dateline stuff I suppose. Anyways guys – it is 8:10am now and I’ve gotta get my ski boots on for for Brian.

I’m finally home and unpacked!!!!!
Final shopping day for the season today and I didn’t really have to get much (came to a whole CA$68.50). Went to the second hand bookshop and bought three books for the travels – some Tom Clancy book (searching now for it so I can tell you the title – ow there it is – it is called Sea of Fire). The other two books are a Stephen King – The Long Walk and the final one is a – ow fuck I can’t remember the guys name – he is the English dude. He is a Lord. I remember reading (on the cover that he was the youngest ever in the house of Commons – sorry – I love law subjects at uni). There it is – Jeffery Archer (I’m pretty sure it is with a J not a G). I can’t remember the title of that one but I think it will be the first one I read once I jump on the plane.
While I was in town – now I suppose I do have to quantify town don’t I. Our ski town is a ski resort which is about 22kms – I dunno it is probably about 15 miles for those of you still in the dark ages (sorry – no offence intended). Because I don’t have a car – I could have bought one but the expense didn’t warrant the reward – a trip to town is a day long exercise and very much to be appreciated. For example – a 2ltr bottle of Coke-a-Cola (I had to write the entire thing because just Coke on its own might have been misinterpreted) costs about CA$1.02 at the ‘Real Canadian Superstore; but up in the resort the exact same bottle of Coke-a-Cola will cost you over CA$2.20. And since I’m a tight arse – and a volunteer I tell you – I’ll drink my Scotch with water before paying double for Coke (I’m sure you all get the picture now that I’m not into the ‘other’ kind of coke}.
Now where I was originally going with this story was that while in town I bought the wireless keyboard and mouse that I had been thinking about for weeks. The one I wanted (the cheaper one) was not in stock so I had to get the one that was CA$20 more expensive but the keyboard is split in two which I assume is why I’ve paid the extra CA$20. I’m sure you will also notice that I’ve made no spelling mistakes today so far – that is because I’m typing at half the speed.
If you have ever tried one of these bloody keyboards please let me know if it gets easier.
OK guys – I’m outta here. The weekend is here – I’m pissed on Scotch but unfortunately I’m just here with my new keyboard so I think I’m going to surf for some guys in speedos and hit the hay – and maybe spank the monkey. Hehehe – man I can’t believe I just wrote that.
