After the Sunday morning drive down - checking in at the closest damn spot to the ski fields themselves. This is the Eiger Chalet - normally you can ski from door to the first of the lifts; the grass is coming through due to it being a particularly dodgy few weeks for snow.
Looking up from The Eiger - front valley of Perisher. The timber bridge is just at the bottom right of the pic.
Being a particularly dodgy skier, I spent a good chunk of day 1&2 on the front end of the mountain trying not to get blown over by a light breeze. Lessons were a beaut way to get some skillz up and finally get over onto the (marginally) more difficult stuff. Mid week the snow finally pounded down - visibility dropping to a few metres. Still rugged up - Monica waving just after the snowfall.
Getting up towards top of the mountain. Awesome views - this is just before pushing off into the powder and sinking about 2 foot down. 
Last night - the abs brilliant food at the White Spider restaurant, topped off with a few drinks and sticky date pudding.
