We are now in the third week of the season and its starting to look bleak. While we are finally open there is only one run with snow and now we are in the middle of what is supposed to be the two busiest weeks of the season and there is still no work. This is not good. In the world of ski instructing, to lose these busy times is to lose the money you depend on to make it through the rest of the season. Talk has begun of abandoning ship. While we are all used to being impoverished ski bums it makes everyone acutely aware of finances. If work doesn't pick up in the next two weeks many people, including myself, won't be able to make the season and are faced with the grim reality of leaving.

While it is a bleak perspective on the situation those are the risks that you take when living this lifestyle. Sometimes things just don't work out and you have to find a way to keep afloat. So now with optimism that things will pick up and it will work out, I must also be realistic and begin to look at my other options. Bummer I know but thats just the way it works sometimes.
