Snowing @ Mt Hotham

Day 3 @ Mt Hotham featured snow showers (yay!), but limited visibility. You take the good with the bad - this was the suggested mantra as I was stumbling over my feet. Today was a pretty cruisy day. We did a couple of black runs, during which I lost the group (on account of the nil visibility) and had to navigate my own route down an off-trail crevasse. There was no good in that equation ... it was just bad.



We stopped for an early lunch @ Snake's Gully, where we continued our search for half-decent coffee. If there's one thing they could improve here, it's quality of coffee. The score stands at 2-out-of-2 for watered down, overly milky, fouler than instant coffee, coffee. After lunch, half the group hit the onsen to rejuvenate weary muscles. First hand account from Miso-Hot-Nat reveals that plaarstic-bag-HT was checking Wayne out during the sanctity of the onsen, hmmmmm.



The rest of us mozied along, and enjoyed a fantastic afternoon of (the Australian version) of a blizzard. I took my chance (actually 3 chances) on the fun park rainbown ....

... and failed miserably, all 3 times. Self esteem took a major battering.



We ended the day with some snowman construction. "Bob" will be guarding our front door until the end of the week.
