Hey Guys, just wanted to see if I could try and post up a blog about my life. Anywho, I'm a skier and I love to ski. I aspire one day to race professionally but I doubt my dream will ever come true. For the time being here I race for my school (Wellesley High School) as well as getting in some NASTAR races for fun. NASTAR (www.nastar.com) is a league of sorts which also sponsors daily "races" at major mountains (8 bucks for 3 races). I am lucky enough to have a job as a ski instructor at Wachusett Mountain (www.wachusett.com) which is one of the places that NASTAR holds these races. Since I work there I get free races :D

Anywho, so I teach liluns at Wachusett, which is hard, sometimes annoying, but fun in the long run. P.S if you live in the Boston area bring your kid down to Wachusett (or adult if you just want to ski) and ski! (OR SNOWBOARD <--- DON'T HATE) Since I'm a New Hire I usually teach Level 1s (Levels go from 1-8) who are young (eg. Level 1 4 yearolds). I live like an hour away from WaWa so my parents get pretty annoyed when they have to drive me there, go home, pick me up, go home :P I have to get there at 8 AM and I leave at 5 PM and I work for 8 bucks an hour! <-- w00t. I'll post up some pics if you'd like me to of me and WaWa :P This is my first and only job and I really do it more for the fun than the money (plus i get free skiing + discounted rates @ the shop).

I work every Sat + Sunday along with the 2 major breaks (Christmas and February). During feb. brake I went up to Loon MTN on Monday and Tuesday (www.loonmtn.com) which is up in NH around 2:30 hours away (we got caught in a blizzard on the way back :() and I'm working everyday this week. WaWa is the only real mountain in Massachusetts (a mountain is defined by vertical feet, 2000+ ft. is considered a mtn, WaWa has 2006 :D)

Anyway, this is it for now, if you want me to continue this or you want to hear more (or just want to comment) please post in the section below! Everyone is welcome to post :P
