Weather Closes In

Conditions deteriorated somewhat on Wednesday with a very windy day, resulting in all the chairlifts on wind hold. Despite this lessons were still advertised as being on. The group split - Maki wasn't feeling up to skiing still recovering from his crash, Katy wanted a rest day, Luca began but didn't get very far before turning back to the lodge. That left Josh, Mia, Grace and Ella with Susie, Cathy, Andy and I.

We had a little adventure in getting to Blue Cow with the chairlifts closed. Andy headed down to Perisher for his advanced ski lesson, while the rest of us were attending lessons at the usual location. The lessons were rather brutal thanks to the wind and lack of chairlifts. With the Brumby t-bar inundated with beginners, our lesson decided to ski over to Guthega. It was quite challenging with such a strong headwind. We over took the lesson that Mia and Grace were in and not many of the kids looked happy struggling against the wind without their poles!

Needless to say there wasn't much post lesson skiing gong on! Andy did test out his cross country skis with a quick trip up the Snowy to Illawong Hut.
