Slope Style

If you have spoken with me or emailed me recently, I've probably been whining about winter. I won't be doing that anymore, I have embraced the winter. I am in Methven, a small village at the base of Mount Hutt, a ski resort. The season has just begun and the conditions are not that great yet, but it's supposed to hit full swing in August. That didn't stop Prince William from skiing there a couple of days ago. I'm trying to score cheap lift passes; no luck yet, but I'm pretty good at these kinds of things. In the week that I've been here I've met all sorts of cool people. I really will be spending the winter here. I like Methven.

I have a job too, possibly the best job in the world! I'm the night porter at the Methven Resort Hotel. I work 5 nights a week from 11pm until 7am. On an average night I spend 3 hours cleaning, 1 hour surfing the web, 1 hour soaking in the spa, and 3 hours napping or watching movies. This behaviour has been approved by management. I am also allowed to make anything I want to out of the kitchen and they feed me breakfast in the morning. I love it!
