I’m going to attempt to recreate a post I wrote one day in
June that was lost with my hard drive…
I’ve had some early mornings lately while I am finishing up
my spring cleaning job and have already begun training for my winter position
at Treble Cone ski resort. Today, however, I was actually able to sleep in a
couple extra hours before a short training with the Ticketing staff in the
office down town. I biked into town for it, and afterward took a ride out to
Wanaka Wastebusters, the local recycling center, to browse their op shop. The
town of Wanaka
sits in a valley on the lakefront, so anytime you leave town you have to pedal
uphill. The recycling center is a few kilometers out of town, so the distance
in addition to the hills makes it a bit more strenuous to get around without a
car!
At Wastebusters I hit the jackpot: a ski jacket to use for
the season that was much more waterproof than my down jacket would be on the
wet days, a fleece to add to my long sleeved collection, and some ski boots to
use with the skis I just bought! It pays to have friends in places and Doug
gave me some pretty good rates for any outdoor gear I found with him!
