U turns or us

Ive had a pretty big u turn since september

I was really not enjoying uni and had no motivation to finish so with the help of the rents i suspended the year ( gives me the option to go back and finish 3rd year in september ) and moved to the alps

I got a job at super short notice as in interview one monday got the job friday and a week later hey your off to france for the winter

it all happened really fast but there i was heading out for training in Val D'Isere and then to work in Tignes as a kitchen / night porter

Val D was a great place to train in and we had a solid couple of nights out as well as a couple of hungover days training. The whole Val D crew were wicked to hang out with unluckily though we didnt have lift passes so couldnt ride. It was like the worlds cruellest strip tease....

And then before you knew it we were heading out to Tignes to move into our ski lodge the lodge was really nice except for the staff accomodation.

It was literally a shoebox with 3 hairy smelly blokes squeezed in. There was no heating ventillation and to get any sun from the 2 tiny windows we were having to go and clear snow it was pretty gross.

Working in the kitchen there when you were on days was a laugh having good banter with the lads and lasses was great and you just got on with it finished rode and worked again.

Nights on the other hand was a wierd experience the only highlights being drunken colleagues climbing in through the kitchen windows to find something to eat.

7 nights on the bounce though really sucked and I wasnt super happy there

luckily Ange's bosses in St Anton needed a chalet host for a 6 person chalet so christmas eve 2013 I finished work and hopped a bus over to Geneva then trains on to St Anton

Ive been here a couple of days now and love it

Only issue is im waiting for a lift pass again bugger
