update into 2010


From the top of Winter Park this is my view before heading off down the slopes. What a way to spend your day!

Lesleigh was in fine form on Saturday carving turns down the blue runs.

This is me in the restaurant half way down the slopes, had a cup of hot chocolate and was off down the slopes once more.

The start of my final run down from the top to the base of the mountain, this first section gives you great opportunity to get some speed.

Taking a moment to look at the different runs and selecting one I have not done before.

The view half way down the mountain.


The top of the chair that took me up this morning.

how about that for fresh powder



On my way up on Mary Jane the adjacent mountain

This is the half way stop for chocolate and a chocolate brownie.

At the bottom of the first run.

The slalom course was set up o this slope for Olympic trials for the juniors and watching them scary, they have no fear and a lot of talent.

Its all about the weather for the past two months and we have had some very chilly weather through the end of December and into the start of Jan. Fortunately things have changed up a lot into the start of Feb and right now we have some fabulous weather. Blue skies fresh powder on the slopes and a public holiday.

Work has been really busy theses past two weeks but with a great team I have to work with nothing seems impossible.

On Saturday we headed for the slopes in the snow and skied all morning with the fresh powder falling, it was awesome and Lesleigh really enjoyed her day out. Today, Monday, was a public holiday and so I headed out for the slopes at 5:00am, got first chair up and got to carve some nice turns on the freshly groomed slopes. The sun was out and the skies were a deep blue. Nothing beats a great day on the slopes with fresh powder and warm temps. I took some photos of the runs I completed this morning, all 11 of them and then my legs said no more.
