What an amazing holiday weekend. Currently I am working at Brundage Mountain Ski Resort in the Lift Operations department, and it has been an one heck of a weekend. Weather wise, it doesnt get any better, with plenty of sunshine and snow to go around. Theres endless good things about working at the top of a mountain in the winter, but I am going to mention three off the top of my head, which I think are the most prolific. The first thing is the shear beauty that you get to experience all day, every day, and get payed for it! There is something about a mountain, covered in snow, glistening in the sun, and looking out, while on your lunch break, at the vast wilderness. It does something for your soul I reckon. SIMPLY SPECTACULAR! The second thing would have to be the free season pass they give you once you get on the payroll. Haha. No further explanation needed there I presume. And the third thing would have to be the access to the endless amount of trails that I so love to snowshoe in the winter, to keep myself in shape for the upcoming tri season. Snowshoeing is not for the faint of heart. It is a full blown workout, and the deeper the snow, the farther your heart goes past redline, and I love it!!! CHEERS.
GREAT RUN THIS MORNING ALONG THE BOISE RIVER!!! IT WAS VERY CLOSE TO BEING SNOWSHOE STATUS, BUT I OPTED TO WEAR MY FAVORITE SHOES, THE ASICS GEL NIMBUS, WITH A PAIR OF GORE SOCKS, WITH MINI WAITERS. IT WAS SNOWING PRETTY GOOD, WITH ABOUT 4" ON THE GROUND IN THE CITY, DID AN EASY 10K, BUT IT FELT LIKE 10MI WITH THE SNOW DRIFTS, FROM BLOWING SNOW.
