Its been a while since my last post, but there seems to be no better time than now to fill you in on what I have been up to at work! This is a day in the life of a lifty-
The morning starts bright and early at 4:30 in the morning
for breakfast and a coffee in an attempt to wake up prior to starting work at
6! After swiping in the shift starts with a sketchy snowmobile ride halfway up
to the mountain to the lift. It is then a hectic rush to dig out and remove any
overnight snowfall from the ramp and begin to setup the “maze” which is where
people get in line to ride the lift. This setup process takes anywhere between
1 and 2 hours depending on how much overnight snowfall there was!
Not long after finishing preparation works, guests begin to
arrive, the mountain is open and it’s time for a ride break!
The remainder of the day consists of thousands of greetings
as guests enjoy the mountain and assisting when required to get them safely to
the top of the mountain. The idea is to move around, keep the ramp nice and
tidy and do all you can to keep nice and warm!
Generally there is time throughout the day to get in a
decent ride break and some time to sit in the warmth and have some lunch; it is
essential to have lots of snacks =) then the rest of the afternoon flies by and
it is time to pack everything up and head back down the mountain!

At the end of the day, the body is well aware it has done its
fair share for the day and it is time for a nice hot shower and a beverage
before an early night to bed!
