make me happy! After another week of dealing with the lunatics I work with, it was so refreshing to work ski patrol at Killington, depsite the manual labor involved. Hopping off the gondola at 7:45 am, skis in hand, I turned to ski down to the patrol room and was confronted with the most amazing view of the mountains slowly being lit by the sun through the morning mist - I could almost see Mt. Washington. Just beautiful! Almost made me forget that I would have to go back to the real job on Monday.
The rest of the day was just as wonderful. I had another fun day shadowing a rookie - it's so nice to go out on calls, but not have to do any heavy lifting - just oversee. I'm lucky that the rookie I've been shadowing is a great guy - amazing skiier and super strong at first aid and running sleds. I'm also lucky he knows how to use a drill - our bamboo fence project would never have been completed in time for us to get in some skiing if he hadn't noticed I had the drill in reverse - there I was, under the lift, drilling away, but not making much progress - and not quite understanding why - hmmm, is it me, or is the drill just not working well today, maybe it's too cold, or umm warm, what's wrong here - good thing he noticed I had it in reverse. I guess I wouldn't make a good construction worker (for more reasons than that one probably). After the drill escapade, we spent the morning skiing bumps before settling in at the ski patrol hut to wait for calls to come in. Another exciting day on the slopes.
