Yeah a skype interview with Bowen (the Lifty manager). Told him how I wasn’t lazy and shit raspberry

Sun Peaks in an awesome resort but I’d throw your hat in other places too. After visiting Canada I wish I had of gone to a dozen other mountains as well!

Yeah my cousin reckons he can get me in touch with Bowen. A mountain that does Skype interviews is really handy.

Oh yeah where else would you suggest?

I’d spend more time in Van personally. I spent a week there and there is still stuff i want to do there. Luckily im only 1.5 hours away and have a truck so I can go back and do said stuff whenever i want.

I spent a week in Van and it wasn’t that great for me. Personally I preferred all the US cities I went to.

But then again, normally 4-5 days is plenty for me per city when travelling.

^ Didja visit the cities with mates? I’m usually there with the Mrs and she’s good value coz she loves knowing about the nooks and crannies in the town.
Even back home in Melbourne she gets me to places I don’t even know! =)

Umm, I went over by myself but in every city (bar NY… hostel was setup terribly) I made a ton of Friends to explore with.

In Vancouver we hiked Grouse mountain, biked around the park, went ice skating, went to the chinese gardens and got pissed a lot… But as with all hostel friends, they leave and you need to make new ones every few days…

You’re a Female going to a heavily male job… it really shouldn’t be too much to get one. Not trying to be sexist but the resorts really try to keep it as close to 50/50 as possible which often means more guys get cut than chicks.

Didn’t even think of it like that, I guess it could be a good thing for me though…maybe.

Yeah, don’t fret… It’s a job, if you don’t get it, there are other options later in life. Just enjoy what you got now.
