Temps are dropping very very low for the next little while which unfortunately means no natural snow. The snowmaking crew here however are taking full advantage of the low temps to crank as many snow guns as possible to improve the snow base which was pretty devastated in the valley and mid mountain areas after the inversion we have just had.

There is hope on the horizon for all of us here though with some forecasts for snow in the range of 20+cm! Exciting times!!

Sarah and I have moved back to Brio staff housing now which means we have space to stuff a few BW folks if they wanted to come over for a bit and check out whistler in winter or summer!

Good Times out here guys come check it out!

Random Q,

Doing my visa application now and it says put your up to date resume on the application.

This doesnt actually get used for applying for jobs yeh? Cause my current ones are geared towards Mining and Construction and obviously im going to get it tweaked to suit Whistler.

Im pretty f*cking certain it wouldnt but i want confirmation!

No!!

And even if it was - Whistler wouldn’t care (or any other resort) - and your resume is your resume… what are you going to do invent resort jobs??

I would love to invent jobs.

I would create;
-professional hippie/hobo and local black out tour guide to Brad/K2.

-Local weed expert Beachndongs

-Ice prancing instructor Jezowtiz

What i meant was my put back in my customer service experience rather than saying i know how to operate Eimco underground loaders and roof bolting machines etc.

Well in the good old days the only way you could apply was to queue on the first working day of the year outside the Canadian Consulate in Sydney.

I was living in the US at the time so my mum queued for me and then forged my signature and got her boss (who had been my boss at one point) to lie and say i still worked there (i had to submit my CV too and I was working in the US)

You had to be living in Aus when you applied. I also had to send my passport home to Aus to apply (that was scary not having a passport in another country!)

Then when i crossed the border several months later it was clear by the intro letter and my passport stamps that i wasn’t in Aus when i applied but thankfully they didn’t look that closely!

Up there with on of the stressful-iest border crossings I have done (yep there was another one!) cause my US visa (with extension) expired that day!

So yeah you will be fine!!

Hey guys and girls checkout what’s happening for next season!

http://www.whistlerblackcomb.com/about-us/news-releases/feb-4-2014.aspx

Super excitement levels now! It’s going to be great but like with all new things I’m sure there will be teething problems not to mention lots of people being upset that cushy validator jobs will be very scarce.

Thoughts?
