well since i've been up on the mountain time has been going by really slowly, big white was planned to be open on the 24th of November, but due to lack of snow, the opening has been pushed back a week. i think at the moment there is 20 cm of snow, and they are looking for at least another 30 cm before opening.
so days are spent watching a lot of shit TV sitcoms e.g. my wife and kids, according to jim, will and grace ect ect.. fucking rubbish. I'm sick of it. there is pretty much only one pub everyone goes to and its already becoming stale. the village is pretty much a ghost town and all the people here are mainly employees of the mountain. so pre season seems like a bit of a drag, most places wont put new staff on till the season starts, cause its just not that busy at the moment. so its making it hard to find a job.
i watched a segment on the great outdoors the other day about big white, and it looked mega crazy packed out in the village with fireworks and john farnsy skiing around like a mad man. i guess thats what i have to look forward to.
so i thought i might as well do something productive whilst i have nothing to do and go through the last 5 months of my travels and write a couple of short, weird, lame, funny, stupid, not even that interesting stories of a few a places i've been to. i doubt anyone will actually understand what I'm talking about cause my writing is all over the place or it will be one of those "you had to be there" kinda things. but oh well fuck it.
