Tempting: longing for snow

Tempting: longing for snow
March 9, 2014 by andreaonderweg

It’s that time of the year again. The sun’s bright and hot and while others enjoy the beach I start thinking about winter. It’s not that I don’t like the sun, it’s just that I really want to find a cool job for this winter. It’s been a while since I last skied and meanwhile I see all those snowy photos from people who are not living upside down in the northern hemisphere. After working in the ski fields for two seasons I’m hooked.

Every day I am tempted to look for jobs online, even though I know they aren’t posted yet. My departure for New Zealand comes closer and in my head NZ is already associated with a winter of racing down the slopes. I can totally see myself living with other snowbums, working in an awesome resort and playing every chance I get. I would just feel so much more relieved if I knew I had a job. It’s tempting to start dreaming, but I don’t want to be disappointed. So I look back at my ski photos so far. To me, that’s very tempting.

Thredbo, Australia

Saalbach HInterglemm & Mittersill, Austria

This week’s travel theme is tempting, check out Where’s my backpack? for more entries.

You can have some of our snow… we’ve had three straight months of it! Not that I really mind, to be honest.
