Myself, Kevin and Tom headed down to Perisher on Friday for some more snowboarding. Woke up on Saturday morning and Jindabyne was covered in snow, which was something we’d never seen before. We had to put on chains as soon as we left our accommodation at The Station!

Saturday morning was a bit overcast, and it was snowing, but conditions were still brilliant. A howling wind picked up in the afternoon and we decided to call it a day early. The conditions were so bad it took us almost two hours to travel the 30kms back to Jindabyne, since there were a few amateurs around without their chains on.

Sunday was pretty windy, and quite a few lifts were on hold as a result. It wasn’t looking like a promising day at all. We headed to the Interceptor and spent some time there as it was one of the few sheltered areas of the resort. That kept us going until lunch time when we decided to head over to Mt. Perisher. That turned out to be an inspired decision as the conditions were excellent, so we spent the remainder of the day carving up Towers. Kevin was moved to declare the day “hardcore” ;-)

So, we’ve all got our skiing/boarding dialled in for the trip to New Zealand in two weeks. Looking forward to it!
