Working at Coronet Peak
Since we've bedded down in Queenstown for the winter, we've also both managed to secure jobs at nearby Coronet Peak ski area for the winter. As we both have a fair amount of professional experience as well as univeristy degrees, you might think that we landed great administrative or manegerial jobs, right? Guess again- Christine works in The Brasserie and Andrew now calls the West End Cafe home. The work is not challenging, glamorous, or well-paying, but we came to the realization that a job is a job and even if it sucks we only have to do it for a few months. And so far, it's actually pretty fun. The job's biggest benefit is that it comes with free season passes to Coronet Peak, The Remarkables, and Mt. Hutt so we'll certainly get our fair share of snowboarding in this winter (or is it summer? I can never remember.)

hello andrew and girlfriend. I found your blog somehow, not quite sure how, but i am in. It sounds like you all are having an awesome extended stay downunder... I am in the woods of Idaho, living the dream as a pro rafter... Not really, but it is nice to get a change of scenery for the summer. Nik is on his way out here from CA to manage me and all the trouble i bring. I too am living in substandard conditions, except it is still great. My home is a tent down by the river. I am jelous of the your seasonal advantage, i wish it was always winter everywhere on earth. How much longer are you in NZ for? 9 months or something? I am getting a real estate license for WA and trying to learn spanish out here in the woods of Idaho. It is incredible wht you can do with a highspeed internet connection. Hope all goes well for you this sunter (wintersummer) I will bookmark this blog to keep tabs on you. take care.
