i imagine it wouldnt be too much of a challenge this year to get a job in canada? i am contemplating where to go at the end of the year, i really wanna do a season in laax but i am not so good with foreign languages. i think i will probably wait and see what comes up at thredbo - apparently they have something going where they organize jobs with other resorts in northern hemi. i imagine most aus resorts would have some kind of similar scheme happening?

we just stayed at faulty. we went up with 4 of us from sunbury, so were prob all gonna share a room there. im sure u will be able to crash on the floor, or i could just say that my mate steve is a faggot and he picks up men and brings them home for sex/sleepovers. the manager of faulty is acctually gay tho, so i dont know how that will go down haha

also, they are reporting on the website that they have made snow... they havnt. its dryer than a dead dingos donger up there apart from the occasional morning frost. but the ground is at that stage that its sort of frozen i guess, so hopefully snow sticks.

funny thing happened today.


sum wog lad walks up to my boss out of our carpark.

n goes... hey mate do use like have the man made snow or what eyyy?

n boss just looked at him controlled his urge to laugh n says

" yes we normally do, but as the resort isnt open yet we havent made any snow"

to which the guy replies
"so like when do use open ey"
"next weekend"
"ohh ohk. well like is there any snow about?"
"no try perisher they have some man made snow there"
"how do i like get to perisher?"
"drive two hours in that direction"
"oh thankyou"


guy proceeds to get in his carn drive off.
i notice two kids in the back bawling their eyes out.
no doubt he had to listen to upset kids all the way home. after he failed to take them to a resort that actually had snow
