Thredbo - I liked It!

One of the great implied traditions of living in Canberra is that you go to the snow every year. I imagine this is in part due to:
* Living but an hour and a half from the slopes makes it convenient.
* Living in a capital city you have more than enough money to afford to go
* The ads tell you that you ought to and who are we mere citizens to deny the beast its measure?

So, after 12 years of living in Canberra I had yet to go to the snow. This is because:
* Even an hour and a half is too long to spend on a bus in my opinion.
* Even being on a relatively high salary, getting by isn't as cheap as it used to be.
* I automatically disregard ads that try to sell me things I'm not already interested in.

I think the latter is a sort of a 'conditioned fiscal safety measure' I've developed from watching too much TV.

Despite all this, I went to the snow this weekend. It was my brothers Bucks getaway thingy. So I could hardly refuse.

I had a great time.

But it was Thredbo. Be advised, Thredbo is for the serious skier. Apart from skiing and snowboarding, Thredbo has nothing to offer you couldn't get anywhere else.

But I am told that Perisher Blue and Blue Cow have a wider variety of 'fun in the snow' available beyond skiiing. Especially Perisher Blue.

So I guess that's next years holiday already planned. These months are also the best time to go as far as weather is concerned.
