New and AWESOME Skis!!!

Hey hey,

So the biggest news of the week is my new skis!
Sophie, a friend of mine from the Sportsmans recently had her father over here to visit. It turns out that back home he owns a ski shop and we was coming up with a new set of skis to ski with and then was going to put them into his demo fleet for the shop. When he heard about my lost ski he decided to sell me these brand new, 5 day used, Dynastar Legends for $600. These skis are next years model and retail for around $1200 and they are AWESOME!
I tested them out today and Im loving them, Im almost glad I lost my others, these are so good. I had a good day with them today too, I went down WhiteWall for the first time and had a great time in all the new powder in Feuz Bowl.

Yesterday and today we got the biggest dump of the winter. On Friday the reading was around 22cm of new snow and in the last 24 hours we've got another 12cm; and its still going! Its forcasted to snow all night too, unfortunatly Im working tomorrow but fingers crossed I get to work on Stairway.

On thursday night we finally had the Lift Ops Beer Fine Party (photos). For those who I havnt told, we get a beer fine if we screw up or do something wrong while working and then we total them all up and thats how many beers you have to bring to the party. Its a fantastic idea in my opinion :P. We all owed different amounts but because we lost a whole bunch of people before the party, (one of whom was Rich who got fired and owed at least a carton) we had to all bring an additional 8 which bumped me up to 15.
There were a couple of trophies given out; one of which I got for the stupidest beer fine, thanks to getting knocked off the Catamount midstation by a chair when I wasnt paying attention.
One of the other lifties, Eve and I did some firetwirling which is pretty interesting in the snow and there were a few people tackling each other into the snow which was also good entertainment.
To get through all the beer we apparently had to average about 15 beers each which was never going to happen and now Eric and his housemates get lots of free beer. :P

Anyways thats it for now.
Later.
