I am in my second winter working as a Lift Operator for Revelstoke Mountain Resort in British Columbia, Canada. Although I am getting eager for the sunshine, know I am going to miss the snow desperately one day.

I’ll miss watching perfect little snowflakes fall. The feeling of walking through it up to your thighs.. I’ll miss snowboarding everyday.. rugging up.. snuggling in bed while the snow falls outside..

I thought it was time to show you some pics from a regular day at work.. These ones were taken yesterday at ‘The Ripper Chair’. This lift is the most fun to work at because it takes a good 10 minute snowboard on freshly groomed untouched runs to arrive and to start her up! No one else snowboarding on the hill but me and a fellow lifty.. this is the best bit! The alternative is a 5 minute sled/snowmobile ride which is less fun.. I’m glad no one sees the terrified look on my face and white knuckled hands as I hold on for dear life on the back of those machines! Especially on an icy day!! eeekk!! (Don’t worry mum! I always try to get out of that option if I can!)

I’ll post about some other Mountain Moments before the season ends, which sadly is approaching quite quickly…
