A WINTER GIRL

Kali Rees is a pretty, personable and popular young lady from Oz! She’s been with us here at the hostel for some time already and although she is here on a working /holiday visa - the operative word seems to be “holiday”!

Kali can be found up late at night and sleeping in during the day. In short, she is really enjoying her summer here!

You see, Kali is a “Winter Girl”. She’s a hostel “fixture” - as I have said, popular with her fellow guests - especially the males! (Kali is a real “looker” and she is is quite phsically fit.)

While most of the people are enjoying the warm summer weather, Kali is one of the group who prays for snow!

You see, Kali is an athlete - a qualified ski instructor in her native Australia!

If you think about it,, becoming a ski instructor in Oz must take considerable effort.  They don’t get a lot of snow and mountains with suitable ski slopes are few and far between.

So, in short, becoming a proficient downhill skiier Down Under takes considerable dedication to the sport. Still, it is a known fact that you don’t require massive ski hills to produce world class downhill ski racers!

Ontartio’s own Blue Mountain (as mere 800 feet in elevation) has produced quite a number of World Cup Downhill and Olympic Ski Champions.

Kalii will enjoy her summer then work out west on the ski slopes when the winter finally arrives here (as it always does!)

She plans on heading to Whistler Mountain in British Columbia and ski the mountain with the highhest vertical ski elevation in North America!

I suppose that means we wiill miss her presence here in the east. But you can’t keep a skiier off of the slopes! So it would be pointless to try!
