Every morning we watch the weather channel on the telly to see the days weather prospects. The sound engineering is quite amazing. What we thought was a bog up on the sound levels on our first day, has been repeated every day, so we couldn't resist recording it for your delectation. The selected highlights in the mp3 file above should amuse and entertain.

This was our last skiing day. We checkout in the morning at 10am, so Gez and James hit the slopes and started with the 'Peak to Creek' run..

However, before setting off, the cold got the better of Gez's bladder. Perhaps 'Pee to Creek' would be more appropriate!

One of the morning's runs was Seppos - a single black run through trees. The verdict was that the rating was somewhat conservative - a double black would have been more appropriate.
