I ended up getting multiple job offers but I don't know what one to take, Alegro projects and fabrication and garneau industries are the two that offered me positions.

I think he lives in Kelowna, he mentioned how it was a sick place to go to school in a thread.

There are a lot of Ns'ers in Alberta and even more park skiers, it seems that only a small amount of park skiers here actually use NS. Go to Rabbit Hill, you'll probably meet up with lots of skiers.

Also if anyone lives in Lethbridge let me know, I'm going there for school next year and it would be nice to have someone to ski with.

From Spruce Grove! Rabbit Hill has a decent park for the city and it would be pretty close to you. For any mountain skiing there is Jasper (4hrs away) and Banff (about the same). But also some other mountains.

Yeah I was leaning more towards them anyways, it's better for me cause garneau doesnt have cwb certification and I have two all position cwb tickets. Where do you work man?

It's super nice, kinda of a bubble and I sort of hate the small town everyone knows everyone vibe, but I deal. And yeah the kid being from Sherwood Park is super unfortunate, but shit happens and you never know who's going to kill someone until they do it. Don't let that scare you, there's crazy shit everywhere!

welding is a love/hate thing, some people can handle it and some people cant.

i didnt mind the welding at all. It was more or less the shop and using an angle grinder for 6 hours a day sometimes. It was by far the biggest 2 bit operation i have ever seen. Our break/lunchroom was 3 sheets of plywood built around an exterior door. The door handle of said room was a coat hanger with a bend in it. I am so thankful i quit. I was never really a huge fan of nisku either, its a very depressing place.
