Welcome everyone to the 2009/2010 Winter Season here in the Nordic Area.
Just a quick note here to say hi to all the new staff and welcome back everyone coming back this season.
As most of you already know, we opened early for business this season (November 13th!). This has been a great oportunity to start getting staff up here and trained before the busy Christmas Season hits.
If you haven't worked yet, you will be soon. We've even heard a rumour that we may open early for evenings (this has not been confirmed).
So check back often; I'll try to post updates on a regular basis with what's going on "a la Nordique"
For now, here's a few random XC fun pics from last season's Spring Fest:
Ok, so I'm late posting this. It seems to be the norm lately (Do I work here?). Regardless it's picture contest time!
The Picture
What to do?
Your goal as the creative genius that you are, is to figure out what's going through these two wonderful human beings minds regardless of how funny it may be.
Fill in the imaginary thought or speech bubble in the comments field below. Just remember to use your real name and that you have to work with these people again, so be nice. Full details can be found by clicking here.
So comment away folks. We'll close this one on Friday of next week, so comment and get a chance to win.
ps. You All ROCK! (my last ditch suck up attempt )
It's Picture Contest Time, let me introduce you to the "Whatcha Sayin' Boss?" Contest.
Yes that's right, we've got an opportunity to have you, our valued team members, break out the creativity. As a plus, we even have prizes for ya'll. Giddy up I know!
Check out the latest Cross Country Spot Video Update for more details here.
How the "Whatcha Sayin' Boss?" Contest works
Fill in the imaginary thought or speech bubble on one or many of the ridiculous pictures we'll be posting over the next few weeks and you could win a super prize from our box of super prizes.
Sound easy? It is! :) Just remember these two VERY important rules.
1) This Contest is for Fun. Your comments must be work appropriate, so no swearing, lude comments etc will be tolerated. All comments will be moderated, so keep it clean!
If you're on the fence about a comment, just remember you have to work with these people again.
2) You must use your REAL Name when making comments "DJ McCool Skier" is fun and all, but will not make it on the blog post. Sorry.
Timeline, Prizes Etc
This first picture will go up tomorrow morning (Friday Feb 6th) and we'll add more as the days go on (as long as we get some great comments!)
The First photo contests will close on the 13th of Feb. So get commenting.
Prizes, We have a box of fun stuff donated by Salomon, Different Bikes, Fisher and Deep Cove Outdoors. From headphones and toques to ski bags and waxing gear, we've got some cool stuff.
Sometimes it's easy to take for granted the amazing beauty that we are lucky enough to work in and around. Take a second and enjoy some of these great pictures from the start of the season until now.
Don't forget to sign out a ticket for the staff party , it's next Tuesday. Also, I think we need to remind Harold about the Rap he promised us all. Get on him about that!
Wow, it's been awhile. I don't really have a good excuse for not updating here, so please accept my apologies for leaving you all hanging. I know how much you like to see us embarrass ourselves on camera.
Today marks the first post for the Cross Country Spot in the year 2009 and we'll use it to let you know about our first STAFF PARTY of the 08/09 season. Giddy up!
