    Went up to Mt Hotham last week and Mt Buller today. Gorgeous weather and gorgeous snow, what's left of it. I couldn't believe how quiet the ski fields were, no crowds on the runs at all. Anyone else enjoying the end of the Victoria ski season? Thinking maybe Falls Creek tomorrow :)

    Book Steve Lee's backcountry tour. Skied Mt McKay today - cover was spectacular but softened quickly in the heat.

    Double blacks means that I will do it all again next year.

    I skied Lake Tahoe, California in June once (beginning of Summer). Not the best snow, but pretty awesome and a gorgeous day.

    I was in Lake Tahoe in March one year, Peter, loads of snow. We went up Heavenly, it was fantastic!!!! I was there for my nephew's wedding, him and his wife are mad skiers, from the UK, but wanted to get married where they could ski!!!

    We did a home exchange in Reno a few years ago and skied at Tahoe. Absolutely awesome, would love to go back there.

    Hey Nemo, just we're taking a break from WA. Living outside Wodonga but I'll probably go back to WA for a locum stint next year. Really enjoying the variety of places to visit here. Hoping to get to Kosi again soon too.

    Gorgeous! We went to FC yesterday. The cost was a bit steep though I must say, as we needed to hire all the gear. Beautiful day though. Glad you had a great time :)

    And the good part about being in Victoria is today I am heading down to the Beach House. Perfect weather. Some are on the ski fields and others down the beach. What a great place :)
