This is the view outside my ticket window!!!
My new board (one of left)
The day before christmas, merry christmas everyone on the other side of the world!
We have settled into like in South Lake Tahoe very well. I've been working most days since my last post, and HB started last week and has been nonstop since. Work is real easy, much better then at Priceline! All our managers, supervisors and coworkers are really good to work with and very relaxed - I guess that's because no one is here to earn money (we get paid $2 hour less than a McDonalds employee) but simply to ride so the work atmosphere is very chilled out. I've been working 7:30 - 2:00 lately which is good as it gives me the afternoons up on the mountain as well as my 2 days off a week. Last week I bought a new board, a 167cm Burton Barron with Cartel bindings and some 32 boots and its reeeaaaaalll sweet.
A few nights ago my supervisor threw a keg party at his house. Yes this party was just like one out of American Pie, red plastic tumblers and all. I ended up being the only international there which was wicked as I got to know the real locals around here. I have been sharing Vegimite with all the yanks and not one of them likes it - to be expected! Getting pretty low on my supply soon, have to find a new source of toast spread soon!! Also went and saw Mitch's place last week, complete with hot tub!!! (essential over here!)
I hope everyone has a good christmas and an excellent new year. Our plans are to continue getting as much time up the mountain as possible (in between work, poker games with Peck and Tony, and $1 drink nights at Blu, Vex and Cabo Wabo pubs!)

Cool snowboard, Andrew. Can I have some action shots soon?
Melbourne Test all over in 3 days, a real whitewash! Aust. crushed England by an innings & 99 runs.Shane Warne took 5 wickets (999 international wickets/706 in Tests). It was his last game at MCG before retiring. McGrath's final Test match coming up in Sydney. Symonds 156, Hayden 153 great partnership.
Uncle Peter bought himself a great Xmas present - latest Lexus petrol-electric hybrid SUV RX400h.
Have a great New Year celebration. All the best for 2007 - may it be happy and rewarding. As always, much love from Mum.
