Jez, yeah I am certainly considering it but I have been offered a job grooming at Lake Louise so Ill See where I am by the end of summer and go from there. I don’t know how long I can stand to live of minimum wage!
I have applied for a Sh$t ton of jobs online for Whistler summer and still nothing as yet. Pretty confident in finding something when i get there in person tho

I don’t officially know finney and therefore am unaware of this incident!

I’ll be here all the way through summer, moving into my new place in just over 2 weeks time which I can’t wait for as it’s got an awesome balcony with a view of both mountains and super close to everything in the village.

Good luck with the job applications - I’d suggest doing some follow up calls with The Cabin who are Employee Experience in order to try and secure an interview for the jobs you’ve applied for.

As for not working for minimum wage here.. it’s pretty much a given that you may have to do it at some point or another. With the disability payments I’ll be on for the start of summer I’ll be down in that minimum wage bracket again but I’d rather have that than move back to Sydney as this place is amazing.

The incident I’m assuming is parking on the side of the road on a snow night. Plow covered the car which I subsequently had to dig out as Kim didn’t want to walk to the bus stop in ski boots… so instead we drove a car with summer tyres down to creekside instead, not ideal haha
