We where up bright and early for a 6.30 breakfast. It was a tropical 6 degrees this morning. We were all organised with our day packs with spare clothes and set of for the three hour trip to Thredbo. We had a stop in Cooma and had a quick play on the park before getting our snow clothes in Jindabyne. We were unsure of the weather in Thredbo but arrived with it a bit overcast. We then headed up the chairlift to find the snow. Here the kids played and slid in the snow for almost two hours before we ventured down the snow for lunch beside the creek.

In addition, there were several emails, some in the form of birthday “cards”, and text greetings and we knew that, later in the day, we would have contact from the UK via the phone and via Skype. Because of the rather wet weather we had delayed our trip to Thredbo which was a shame ... read more

Last weekend I went on a trip to "the snow" as they call it here not "the mountain" as we might say, this makes sense conidering I don't recal really seeing any mountains there :-) hehe. But non the less I had a blast! We left straight from work on Friday and didn't arrive until about 1 in the morning on Saturday, and had to wake up about 7 the next morning! There were actaully quite a few long runs though, I was quite impressed but the conditions were not the best. On saturday it was so windy it blue all fresh snow off, and there was a sheet of ice under, they actually closed some of the top runs. The next day it rained and there was a lot of slush at the bottom of ... read more
