Also need to fix my sallapets as a fell at 68mph and burnt a hole in them!! On ice!? Random but sore!!

Well.. Valley rally went well

Sooooo. We had valley rally. I made banana, grenadine , marsbar, mint choc chip, haribo, fizzy worms, glacier fruity sweets, peach and toffee flavoured vodka!! Orienteering over the mountain doing lots of tasks at various stations where us reps were waiting with shots in hand! I did dizzy sticks on a steep piste lol awesome day, 3 refused on a lift for being too drunk and 1 stuck in tignes and 1 bloodwagoned down as he was found  sleeping/unconscious on side of piste lol

Feeling a bit better now tho, as had glandula fever, but now just dead weak n if have busy day the next day im drained from it! But still enjouing it will be happier when im back to full strength!

Hardly managed to get out of late for a propper jib on mountain,  on a plus side tho majority of my guests have been awesome!! The bar crawl was epic! We now end in dicks tea bar which seems to go down well! And pub quiz had over a 100 people at it! Soooooo a may have some money this week lol what shall a buy??

Changeover day crazyness

Well... Where to start!! Crazy crazy storms.. Worst for years complete whiteout blizzards, and strong winds! Up at 3!! We had a craaaaaazy deiver getting us to the airport who was over taking the snow plows lol and had no snowchains on either lol

Get to airport, no bags turned up off flight! I ended up repping a different bus than planned 55ppl on a 56 seater!!! So had my work cut out..
I managed to get round all guests and get paperwork done.. So i walk to the front to chill out grab a quick kip, oh and a had mentioned 3 times by this point to the busdriver to put chains on, the bus comes to a stop spinning on ice! So driver gets out to check situationn.... And doesnt put the hand brake on so we start rolling backeards... On a steep moubtain pass with a missive canyon and no fence stopping you going into it!  me and another passenger dive  into drivers seat and jump on brakes and
Evacuated bus as we saw how close we are to the cliff! The driver persists in trying to correct issue in a bliZard ends up sideways blocking road!! And im telling him he needs chains he got them out and it was apparent he didnt know how to fit them!!

So me n another guy stuck behind us managed to fit them..eventually! What a nightmare! No gloves hand sticking to chains and fingers turning funny colours a got some very snowy cold wet guests back on bus and set off again!  they were trying to shut the road.. But we had come to far to turn back lol 10k's from val d we get stuck... Again! Managed to get going after a hour!
Get to resort start dropping off to realise roads a need to go down are shut..due to avalanches and also were 2 of the chalets!! And the wind and snow is craaaaazy brutal.. After a lit of carrying bags and keeping guests calm we got them booked in other hotels and then i had to sort paperwork! 25 hour day lol with 4 hours sleep night before!
Is it wrong that i actually enjoyed the challenge if it all??
Beats p4u anyday!!

So training has started....

So training has been a whirlwind so far...  the guys teaching us it all are so funny really good guys so i havent fell asleep yet!! Its been good and i am slightly scared about how much reaponsibility im going to have and also how manu aspects of the job there is. Oh and the fact there is 4 reps to 240 ish customers each week lol

The reps ill be working with seem spot on! Really good team in val! Plus everyother rep are spot on met some good mates already shame they go to other resorts on saturday! And the talent out here is amaaaaaaaaazing!!

Had the ski guiding lesson yesterday and was awesome! Really got me excited cannot wait for the snow to come though!! Hopefully next day or too!

Just passed my food hygeine course. Think this is done so if people leave or its busy a can chip in in the kitchen and waiting tables etc...

Wish me luck got first transfer day on saturday at 5 am!! And will be a looooooooooong day probs 14 hour plus! But ah well worth it for tge lifestyle out here!!
