One good thing about the cold weather and constant rain recently has been reading the snow reports of massive dumps of 30cm or more of snow every day, especially in the week leading up to us spending the weekend down there.
Overall the trip was great - everyone had a good time and agree that we have to go down again as soon as possible, after Mindy gets back (So Soon! Yay!). After a day of crashes and going slowly even on the easier slopes I got my confidence back up to the point where I could go a bit quicker, and not be totally out of control any time I sped up a little bit on the patches of ice that were still showing. Also, having UHF radios on the slopes was awesome as it made it really easy to keep in touch with the different groups of people - there were 14 of us down there altogether, and we had 4 radios, so we could distribute them based on how we all split up. Most of the time, we could all contact each other without having to fiddle about with mobile phones in our massive clumsy snow-gloved hands. Staying in an apartment in the middle of the village at the base of the mountain was awesome as well!! It maximised the amount of skiing we could do, which was a good thing considering we only got there on the Saturday morning, and left on the Sunday evening.
And I still haven't satisfied the crazy KFC cravings that I got on the way back to Sydney dammit! I need a KFC dinner sometime soon!
