I’ve just spent the weekend down at the snow tih Jacqui, Lara and Jodi. Saturday was absolutely roasting and the snow was all slushy as a result. I could have boarded in shorts and t-shirt if I’d wanted to. Jacqui had her first attempt at snowboarding and had a great time. She wasn’t planning on enjoying it, but by the end of the day she was asking questions about how much her own snowboard would cost! However, she did admit that was more from a desire to avoid all the hassles of renting gear rather than to go snowboarding on a regular basis.

Sunday was much better as the temperature was down, it was a little overcast and the snow stayed in good shape. Mount Perisher was the place to be, and while there’s less cover than a month ago, there’s still better cover than last year. Unfortunately the crap weather that had been forecast for Saturday showed up at 5pm, and it rained, and rained, and rained. We woke up this morning and it was still raining, so our chance to board Thredbo was over and we came home early. You win some, you lose some.

That’s the end of the boarding season as far as I’m concerned. It’s time to re-focus on the fitness campaign!
