Got a house!

After two tense days Trotty and I have finally secured a lease in Alpine Meadows, approximately 7 minute drive from Whistler Village. 

We moved in last night and are still getting settled. Bags have been unpacked, beds made, etc. The accommodation is a very large one bedroom suite underneath our landlord's house (whom are ridiculously friendly!). Trotty has signed a 9 month lease so he'll be staying here for the Summer whereas I only have another month and a half here.

I really need to get my act together and get snowboarding, the snow is starting to fall (about time) and soon the slopes will be prime powder and riding conditions. Tim has offered to sell me a ridiculously good, new board for $250 (it's next year's model and it's RRP is about $650). Because Ben from the Island gave me some snowboarding boots it looks like all I need now is some pants, goggles and gloves. Then I just have to worry about the ridiculous lift ticket prices.

I have my trial shift at Maxx Fish tonight, so hopefully they acknowledge my hard work and I get a job there. The benefits of working at a club on the slopes is amazing, work from 8:30 to about 1-3 in the morning, get a nice 8 hours sleep and you still get to shred the slopes for a good five hours the next day. 

Apparently Maxx Fish has a spirit program, meaning I may be able to acquire a season pass for next to nothing (lets hope!). I am still yet to get my camera charger from Julius' house, but that should happen today sometime I hope. Photos and stuff coming soon!
