Ski Time!

We ambled up to Guthega on Monday arriving mid morning. Chains were needed for the last few km's - the gravel road was veery rutty and snow covered. Following slowly behind a white ute, we watched them slide off the road and straight into the gutter. Stopping to render assistance, we soon realised the couple had no idea what they were doing. Another car with three guys also stopped and without a tow rope between us, we managed to push the ute back out onto the road.

Guthega carpark was busy and we had no luck securing a close by park, so after dumping the luggage, Andy drove off in search of a place to safely park. Meanwhile the girls and I started lugging all of our belongings the 400m uphill to the lodge. It required two trips each with the return trip using the lodge sleds. Andy hadn't appeared - it turned out he helped another person dig out their car and in return parked in their vacated spot!

Lugging up the bags is always an effort and we were glad to have made it! Post unpacking and lunch, we ventured out to test the snow. It was cold and snowy with low visibility. I was happy to complete a few runs without much complaining from my knee. The other adults stayed out a little longer.
