Originally posted by Ausved haha yeah I know the feeling! Been struggling to save the $$$ but can't wait to hit the slopes What job you doing?

Tell me about it! midyear europe was some amazing memories, but terrible for my canada savings! not really sure what my job is to be honest haha! its called food servery coordinator so i guess its like an organisational job for the resturant.. eh, i duno. what did you get? My mates where at silverstar last year, they absolutely loved it, said the only downside was there wasn't enough bars/clubs there..

Originally posted by Ausved Yeah mate got the job! Can't wait I leave for a holiday to the US on the 29 october! I have like 9 weeks of uni left!

sweet bro, congrats! yeah im off to vancouver to head up to whistler on the 31st! took the year off uni so i could save up but i havent got nearly enough yet!

So did you end up getting the job? I guess you would have heard back by now, i landed the job at whistler so im so amped to get over there! 2.5 months to go!

Yeah through OWH, going for a dishy job, wanted to work nights! Its so hard to know what to do! I', looking forward to hearing back from them hopefully soon!

did you do your interview through OWH? i had mine for whistler a week ago, waiting to hear back in the next couple of weeks. I'm thinking the same thing as you, but i hear staff get a discount of about 45% in some places so i'll probably grab my gear then when those sales roll through. what job did you apply for?

iphone works, but its slow to respond in my expereience. as for the board. my friend was a staff, rented. and got burton vapors as rental. yes vapor. but he worked at 4 season so l dont know if that makes a difference. how much is your staff discount anwyays

well i can only offer some help. i know retail stores in canada are pretty expensive so whatever discount u can find i would take it. as for the phone ? i have an HTC evo and I live in WI. you can definitely tell there is lag on those colder days. the other thing is, is that touch screens are heat sensative so if ur finger tips are cold ur phone wont react as fast

Hey guys, I'm looking at working at silverstar resort (in B.C) at the end of the year, got an interview this friday. Was just wondering if locals or people who have done the same thing recommend buying a board and bindings from the resort with staff discounts or is it better to shop at another store from canada that has good deals? Any names would be great!
Another thing was do iphones work when your on the slopes or should I get a phone with a keypad? Due to it being too cold, I've heard different things!
Also any other info on how much money you burned through or if you could survive on wages from a resort would be awesome:) My gf and I will be heading there.
My gf will also need boots, so any good places to buy would be sweeeet,Any advice at all would be very much appreciated!
Cheers
