Can't help but think of Winnie the Pooh when it starts to snow large snowflakes. ..What have we been up to for the past week and a half? Zooming about, to and fro from Melbourne and then to Mt. Buller for a weekend of skiing. Yes skiing. This drought ridden country is full of surprises!
There were no preconceptions of what the snow would be like; well I did think it might be wet and little of it. However judging by Richard's skiing prowess, I knew the conditions needed to be half decent. He skis better than most of the Canadians I know (mind you there are few of them these days :P ).
Beach to ski mountain took over four hours. Mt. Buller is in the Great Dividing Range aka Eastern Highlands, to the east of Melbourne. One might know the area from the movie- The Man from Snowy River. Yup, the very same area.... Yeah I was excited about that as well. Our downhill and cross-country ski images are on the video (sorry no music yet as music collection is in the Melbourne port being radiated for bugs).
