Day 23

Well I have now settled into the snowmaking lifestyle. Going into the 4th week of snowmaking and temperatures are starting to drop as low as -25 degrees. We have now made 4 runs and moving up the hill to work on runs that will lead to the summit. The other night we had a nice 25cm dump of fresh powder, which has meant a lot of digging hoses and snow guns.

Commuting to work

We have had about 4 staff ski days, which has been good as I managed to find a pair of old rental skis and boots and hit the slopes for the first time for the season. I also picked up a board, boots and bindings for a steal so I am ready to hit the slopes with the board tomorrow!

I have had a few more opportunities to play around with the new camera. There have been some professional stunt ski-doo drivers at the resort for the last few days getting ready for a competition.

Most of the staff will be arriving at the end of this week, which everyone is looking forward to as it has been very quiet on the mountain with minimal staff working. Some resorts have already opened but Pano is still scheduled for 9th December although staff get to ride a lot of the days to get the slopes ready for the guests.

For now that's about it. Hope everyone is safe around the globe and look forward to hearing what you are up to.
