Red Sky at Morning

So there was a bit of a red sky this morning and I am hoping it means that there will be snow coming soon. After going up to the top part of the house and taking a look over at the mountain it looks like we got a dusting of snow up top along with a small layer of ice or frost down here at the bottom that found as I walked outside. Beautiful morning again here in Ohakune.
Found out over the weekend that I 100% do have a job working in a rental shop setting up skis, the money is good and so are the hours. Work in the morning and if its a nice day you go up to the mountain during lunch for a few hours and then back down to the shop in the evening for some more work. Not a bad life for a ski bum.

There might be a chance of another job that would be amazing but more details to come on that later. Might be doing a company flight down to the south island for that though.

The weather here has been good and I have already created my own bank account and applied for an IRD number which stands for Inland Revenue Department. Not really sure what they do but I know they take your money for taxes so you have got to have one to work.

A few new people have been moving in to the house and everyone I have met has been really cool lately. I have a feeling this is going to be a great winter. Walking to and from town have been a bit of a pain lately but so is filling up your tank on the car back home so I don't really mind to much. Lets just pray for more snow because the start of the season is coming up soon.

More to come soon about the other job and the season if it will start on time or not. Projected opening date has been set for the 25th of this month so we shall see.
