Working At Calabogie Peaks Ski Hill

Today was my first day working at the Calabogie Peaks ski hill. I have the official position of lift operator. Although getting there this morning took 45 min (it was really snowing hard and the road was covered in at least 4 inches of snow...where was the snowplow???!!!), it was actually a pretty great day. I watch the chairlifts where people get on or watch where they get off...two alternating shifts, morning and afternoon, top of the hill and bottom. That includes starting and stopping the lift, or slowing it down when needed...and helping people get on it as well. I spent my afternoon at the top of the hill. The view from the top building where I worked was amazing...you see Calabogie Lake surrounded by trees, with rolling hills fading into the distance. It can get cold(it's not too bad), and fresh air is good for you anyway, eh. It was fun working the controls and I get a season pass...pretty cool. *I'll try to get some pics up soon!*
