>The job is a full time, "almost government", on-site, 8-4:30, 40hrs a week, union position with full medical and dental benefits so it is probably not what you would ideally have in mind.
>BTW I was up on Grouse mountain last night to watch the skiing - this is what I personally love about Vancouver: in the city it is warmish, dry and beatiful blue sky whereas on Grouse and several other local mountains there is 18ft of fresh powder.... Awesome...

Sam,

I'm originally from Buffalo, NY and I miss skiing. There are a couple places about 3 hours away from me, but they are not the same. Manufactured ice gravel is considered "powder" there. Hmmmm... BC isn't really that far...
