Mid-Season Update

Well the snow in the Northwest has not been as good as the past couple of years, but we have been able to stay open 100% for the most part. There has been periods of high pressure lasting as long as 3 weeks with no snow, but I guess that is part of the ski resort industry. I feel lucky because they have started cutbacks at the resort, and there have already been 3 people laid off of ski patrol, but I talked with my boss and it sounds like my job is pretty safe. The only good thing about the layoffs is that now I will be able to have my own room in the patrol house which will be nice. I am not sure I will know what to do with all the extra space, but I am sure I will come up with something. Probably just throw all of my stuff on the floor to take up space! Since the skiing has not been that great, I have been venturing into Seattle on my days off, which is a nice change of pace from mountain life. I am really enjoying my new job, and I think that it could definitely be a good place for me to be, at least for awhile. There is really not very much else going on right now, my life is not as interesting as it sometimes is, which is a nice change. I will try to keep this updated if anything significant changes, but as you all know, I am not very good at it. Oh well, I do try my best :)
