Boosted form Vancouver up to Whistler. Have been there for the last week. Stayed with Dani who has settled in there for an unknown amount of time. So crashed at hers in the staff accommodation which was mint and she has some rad housemates. Weather was mint and hot for most the time I was there so made it super easy to get out and explore the place. Dani had a few days off so showed me around spots she had discovered. Managed to get up the mountain and do the peak to peak gondola. The amount of terrain up there is mad and that gondola is loose! Will be a crazy winter destination! Explored the the Lost Lake area one day on bikes which was really cool. And managed to get up in the bike park one day too, which is your loose downhill riding on bikes that aren't short of motorcross bikes without the motor! We geared up with all the armor and hit it. Absolutely loved it!! So much fun hitting all the jumps and going down some crazing insane terrain and having the bike do half the work for you. haha Took one stack and paying for it still with a bit of missing skin, but in the words of my mate Alex, if you don't take one spill during your day you weren't pushing it hard enough!
Also had a few nights out in Whistler. Caught up with my other buddy Laura who was in great form! One night after she finished work ew were were gona hang out over ONE beer, that turned into me getting home at 130am and pretty wobbly on my feet! Sums Whistler up! Helped that the bairmaid new Laura and fed us shots all night. Good times!! Party scene there is pretty sweet and full on, but at the end of the day its just more people drunk in another pub or club blowing a tonne of cash. Not to say that isn't a whole lota fun but yeah...!! haha
Decided Whistler (and i did suspect this from what I had heard of it) was a bit too much of a resort for me, and was a bit too commercial. Was mint to go and play for a week but not somewhere I'd like to spend my season. Think I'd either kill myself or go completely broke living there! Still dreaming of a slightly smaller 'real' town. The dream remains.
So anyhow, have left Whistler. Boosted back to Vancouver and got my SIN (tax) number. Had my mate Sus put me up for the night. Her parents were super nice, slept in the most comfortable bed of my trip so far and her Mum made me ANZAC biscuits! So stoked! Then took a bus up to a city called Kelowna, where I am now. There are a lot of farms, orchards and wineries up here so hoping to get a little bit of work, would be nice to get work through till maybe September/October but will wait and see what comes up. Met a girl on the bus between Whistler and Vancouver. She was awesome and chatty, her name is Katie and is gona chat to friends of hers up here about some work for me, so maybe something will come of that. Will wait and see.
Right now I have to update my resume and start applying for work, so until next time. Out
