Why Don't You Duck On In?

Now that I feel confident I shall not be running away from this town I think I can do a post. I've been in Fernie for 2 weeks now but it feels like a month because of the multitude of highs and lows. Let's just focus on the highs shall we?

1. I got a job at the Alpine Resort - horray. I'm working in the Ticket Office which is the exact job I wanted. All of my shifts are half days so it always means I have up to 3 or 4 hours to hit the hill even on days that I'm working.

2. I moved into a real house (if I had of had to stay at the hostel one more night I may have stabbed someone). I'm sharing the cutest cottage (the Duck-On Inn) with a girl from Sydney, 2 girls from NZ, 2 Swedish guys and 1 Canadian guy. Let the good times roll.

3. I bought a snowboard. I lasted about a week being a good non-money spending girl but then it started to snow and everyone was tuning there gear getting ready for the opening weekend and I caved. So now I've kitted myself out with various goods and snazzy things which I probably can't afford - but are sooooo worth it.

4. Riding this hill is super awesome. Best time snowboarding I've ever had. It may only be my 4th or so day doing it again but I think I'm getting back into the swing of things. Especially enjoying spending half days doing things - working for half the day then riding the other half. Bliss.

Speaking of which, I should stop wasting time and get ready to go up there. Now that I have a house it's a lot easier to get cosy in a couch drinking tea and surfing the net all morning. But - mountains ahoy!
