Thredbo 2018

Thredbo P B-day trip
14 - 18 September 2018

Two nights in Towong and two nights in Thredbo. Driving into Thredbo for a snowboard at minus 8 degrees on Sunday morning over ice and snow. Great conditions for spring, wasn't able to capitalise on the little bit of fresh snow ⛄ due to having no idea where we were going! Thredbo does seem to be my sort of mountain - high vert, long runs, and fast.

We perhaps picked perfect time again to hit the snow 👍, day before we got in it was raining, busy and miserable. Snowed overnight for us to enjoy and the day we left kosci/cruiser on wind hold.

Also noteworth is Paulette was 100% 6/6 T-bars (next stop T-bars to the Plateau Rosa) - but - at one stage was running at 80% for chairlifts. The Karels t-bar didn't seem worth it which was a shame, maybe it was the conditions.

Hapi viet dinner in Albury. 

Main range covered in snow/rain cloud. Looking over Towong, Corryong. We were told Towongs do not make a Bright. 

Working at heights tickets were not checked

B... Boundary Ballroom?

There was very good intentions of avoiding a T-bar for P that ended... poorly for P. She's actually good enough to smash this hard and fast forced turns run but mentally sore. 

Contemplating .... Why did I follow Dane?
