Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to all from Pablo!!!

It's my first white Christmas and my first away from the family. We received a good dump yesterday so we will start the day with a few runs down the hill. With the new snow yesterday they are opening the Powder Chair today giving us some new terrain to play in.

I worked this morning so I will head to Happy Valley for a free Christmas lunch around midday before apres beers at Unit 231. All staff who have to work on holiday days are rewarded with vouchers for dinner or lunch somewhere on the mountain. That combined with the time and a half wages for the holidays makes working on Christmas and New Year very worthwhile.

We are having Christmas dinner this evening with all the boys and girls of Whitefoot Lodge. One of the guys is a chef so he is in charge of the turkey and ham with the rest of us preparing accompanying dishes. I had the baker throw together some dinner rolls for me this morning and I picked them up hot off the oven around 6am so they will be a nice fresh treat on a mountain where the only thing that is always fresh is the powder.

Hope you all had a great Christmas day wherever you are. Merry Christmas!!!
