Snow?

Ok......really......What does Toronto, or even Southern Ontario need with all that snow? We have very little snow (nope, aren't open yet) and we can do plenty with it! Send it all over here. A little aggravating but not much we can do about it. I'm still training people so at least I'm working. I'm off today and tomorrow, then I work 1/2 day Friday to train some latecomers.

I'm going to bring my camera so I can get a picture of my lift and all it's fun and games and me in my uniform. The lift won't be MY lift but identical to mine. It's wierd though, after riding the Poma lift at Mount Tri-Town for most of my life, it's odd to come here and see the "Poma" lifts here are the giant 6 person detachable chair lifts. Leitner-Poma made most of the lifts here...

The other lifties here are getting antsy since most of them aren't working. They came here all the way from Austraila/New Zealand/UK and are quickly running out of money. In addition, they are getting bored. There isnt' much here to do than watch TV, sleep, eat, and go to the bar (which has gotten a few people fired). We really need to get skiing/riding. The snow will come. The winter has just shifted forward a bit. Last year, they closed in April and they had more snow than they had all season. They close regardless of conditions here (which is ridiculous) because people just stop coming (apparently, I don't believe it though). Sure the season's pass people will come but they dont' make money off them. Sigh.
