back from the snow…

this week has been 3 good days of snowboarding. first a group of us went up to Mt Buller on Tuesday, since we are all tertiary students and there’s half-priced lift tickets for uni students. 47 AUD for a full-day ski lift, and we weren’t going to pass on this. yes yes, this meant we skipped a couple of tutorials at the hospital, but i suppose once or twice won’t matter in the big picture.

On Friday early morning, i joined the Singapore Association of Monash to head up to Falls Creek for a 2 day 2 night ski trip again. The blue slopes on Falls Creek were much easier than those on Mt Buller, but it could because there is more powder. It was a fantastic trip. Loved every minute of it. 

I had a balaclava put on since the winds always brought snow pellets flying all over, making it a rather unpleasant experience if it hit your face.

    That looked awesome, I was up in buller recently, doing a photographic workshop, of which you can see images here (). Managed to get in a day of snowboarding at the end, and it is lots of fun
