We're quite enjoying it here

We're settling into our jobs in the ticket sales department really well - we're getting used to the processes, and getting to know our teammates. (We had good fun at the staff party on Monday!) Our job leaves us with enough time to go skiing and boarding, and I can confirm that Adam is now addicted to snowboarding, as well as all the other pursuits. (He's not yet bought the ice climbing season pass, but it is a matter of time...)
I'm having some trouble with my ski boots, so since a really smashing lesson last week, I've struggled a bit. I had the boots tweaked yesterday, but the snow was a bit iffy when I tried them out afterwards, so I wasn't really carving through the white stuff as well as I'd like. (Hence no snazzy videos of me - yet.)
Adam, on the other hand, is delighted with snowboarding, and had his stance aligned on Monday, so he's developing ridiculously fast. We had a dump of snow overnight (8cm!), the most for weeks, so he really enjoyed surfing the pow today. For someone who has only done it a handful of times, he's really got his technique and confidence sorted. We've only been out together twice, and I was really pleased to see how well he's progressed. And never without a helmet - good boy. A few more lessons, and I'll have my confidence back. (6 years since Jasper, after all! I'm very out of practice!)
I'll leave you with a few updated photos. Click for big!


With mum's help, I turned the heel! Just the long bit and the toe to do!

We have some Christmas decorations now!
Sunset today. (View to the Monashee mountains and the main village area.) Gorgeous orangey skies every day for sunrise and sunset!
