Day 2 - On a Mission

Trying to remember everything is difficult and even the best of planning is sometimes not quite enough. Part of our usual routine for organising to go to the snow is to stop at Jindabyne to purchase last minute items at their freshest - bread, milk, cream, leafy vegetables... With list in hand, while Andy went off to complete his list - a new snow shoe strap, bakery items, coffee I detoured into Woolies for the necessary food items. 

It wasn't until late Sunday night well after the unpacking was done that I had that sinking feeling that I'd forgotten something...the milk! A quick check in our fridge revealed that I was correct - somehow between looking at the milk in the supermarket wondering how much to get and turning around to search for the cream I forgot to pick up the milk as I passed by in a hurry to get the ice cream! Oh well, we survived a few days on everyone else's generosity but the time had come to venture over to the supermarket at Perisher. 

After the kids had had enough of the terrible conditions experienced during their morning ski on the blue calf t bar, Andy and I headed off.

The Pleasant Valley chair was still broken due to a mechanical issue, so we caught the ski tube down. We had a sneaky lunch break enjoying a pizza before purchasing the milk and other required supplies. On our return trip, we saw an injured skier and ski patrol guy catching the interceptor chair down! Weather conditions were continuing to decline so we beelined our way back to the warm lodge.
