MUTT SEASON

I must preface this by apologizing for the silence since my last post. Life has intervened.  Ever since I went to work in May at the café, it seemed like I was either too busy, or just too darn tired to be in the mood to blog.

However, now that the busy summer season is past, things have started to slow down. Mutt season ( yes, that is actually what they call it up here) starts next weekend. At resorts, apparently there is a high season, a shoulder season and then comes mutt. Mutt= dead.  They are shutting the whole park down for 6 weeks. Closed up, shuttered, locked. (Which equals me being out of work from 10/30 through 12/13. Can't decide if I am happy about this or not.

Summer is tourist season for the park, and winter is training season for the Olympic athletes. No skiing in the park unless you have a coach. So while it may be too cold for tourists, there still isn't any snow for the athletes- hence mutt season.

I have only been working 3 days a week for the last month. Beginning of the weeks have been so slow, that on Tuesdays I actually work by myself- cashier and cook. It's kinda fun...
