Its fun.
My Ski-Resort was Blue Mountain. A small Resort in the Canadian Province Ontario. For Ontario it was massive. It reminded me a lot of a Winter wonderland or a village, Santa Clause would live. Very cute. Very cosy. There was no way anyone could ever not like this place. My life there was great. Together with about 100 Internationals I was living in 3 huge Houses. For me, they were huge anyway. But lovely. Houses like you would imagine them in the Alps. Like Heidi's Granddad would have lived in them.
Everyone was a traveller at heart. Everyone was loving the snow. And everyone wanted to Party. Most of us were Aussies and Brits. 2 Kiwis. 2 German. A hand full of Irish. That was it. A bunch of random people thrown together. It was a perfect Mix.
During the day we worked in the Village and Snowboarded before and after. At night we partied. It was wild.
I was a Barista at Starbucks. Very smart job selection of mine since unlimited coffee is a great thing, if you partied all night. Mat was a Chef in the Cafeteria at the bottom of the mountain. Free food for him. Also not bad since mat would have spent all his money to fill his un-fillable belly otherwise. The only Downside: The freezing cold. I am from Germany so it's not like I have never felt the cold before. Germany gets freaking chilly. But minus 35 Degrees is an other level. I was not prepared for that. When your Face is hurting, just because the freezing wind hits you in your face, you know its cold. Every morning at around 6 am I had to walk to work. Fun time to walk if you are the first one fighting against the meter thick snowfall from the night before.
In March, it started getting warmer. Minus 10 Degrees and all-over sudden everyone was snowboarding in T-shirts, using the powder to freshen up their faces. Bizarre when I'm thinking about it now. Minus 10 Degrees equalled warm for us. I am pretty sure all of us were decent snowboarders by the end of the season. That's what snowboarding for 3 month straight does to you. I guess, you could call it forcing of a talent.
