Queenstown, Employment Opportunities

So I've been in Queenstown for the last couple weeks. The road trip was good, pretty quick but a fun way to see everywhere on the way down. Went to Milford Sound for a couple days and did some kayaking, it was an incredible place, huge and powerful scenery. Now I am just hanging out and playing disc golf. Made a few American friends and have met some people I've known while living in Cairns last year. It's a small town and won't take long to be come a local around here.

I've found work in town that starts in three weeks, which is when work will be coming available most places as the Winter season rolls in. The job is at the Quiksilver retail store actually, good ol' Quik. Ideally I'd like an on mountain job but they pretty tough to come by in Queenstown. So now I have two jobs lined up, Lift operator on the North Island in a small mountain town on a weather beaten resort or Quik retail in beautiful fun Queenstown buy a season pass. Not sure what I want to do...
