Aside from snowboarding it was fun to just walk around and be back in the snow! The above photo is a rare appearance of me and is courtesy of Toddles :)

simple life

As with last year, attempts to book a heli flight between Mt Hotham and Falls Creek were again being thwarted by the weather and I was becoming accustomed to the morning phone call from central reservations to say the heli trip was cancelled. The day started as almost a complete whiteout, beautiful in itself, then transitioned into freezing high winds which at least provided occasional blue skies.

Despite the wind it was a good day to explore some of the areas outside the patrol boundary and get a better overview of the resort.

And it was nice to get away from the often-crowded runs and chill (no pun intended) for a while.
