Saturday morning we got a lift up the hill from our boss Wil, so that we could all have the Panorama resort introduction and explain what they do here. Like where the kiddie ski day care centre is, pick up/drop off zones, nice cafes, looking at the hot tubs and getting all the inside intructor knowledge of the place.
They explained to us briefly how the year will go. It looks like we are going to be super busy which is great for me - I need the work! This year Panorama won a 'best resort' award which means bookings have been through the roof. Every holiday will be busy and we should expect to work Christmas! The instructors here are so enterprising, they all run jobs alongside instructing and have different jobs in the summer too. Our landlord is also a senior instructor, and a painter and employs instructors from the school all the time. I keep chatting to the staff around to see what jobs are going - I even hard that they do summer camps! Maybe that's something I should keep my eyes on.. at the moment though the best one I've seen for part time work is the local A&W, look!
It all incredibly beautiful with deep green trees engulfed in snow, in rows climbing up the mountain. The rocky cliffs look stunning when the sun hits them just right, to such an extent that every now and again we all just stop and admire the view. However there isn't enough snow to get on the mountain yet, so we start riding on Wednesday. Which means we were left to our own devices in town (Invermere) which is a nice little town, but it is dead. Because it's still preseason there's no one about! Shops open late and closer early and there is no one about! I can't wait till the season starts so Town picks up and we can start working!
