Melbourne Ski Trip 2006

Alritey I'm back from my Ski Trip in Melbourne....
Totally enjoyed myself!
I reckon it was a well deserved holiday that i took with a few good mates!

Spent my first 5 days staying over at a close family friend's place...
They were so warm and welcoming....
Had a blast with the kids there...

and the HIGHLIGHT of the trip....
SKIING @ Mt. Hotham
it pretty much snowed every day that we were there....
such a beautiful sight i tell u!
the weather was good to us...
Although it did reach a low of about -5 degrees not including the winfd chill factor...
we had clear skies and it only started to rain on the day we were heading down the mountains.

Not to be egoistical here, but i think i picked up skiing pretty quickly.
Hhahaha....i think it's a really cool sport, too bad we don't have the snow back home. Darn!
Anyway, 6 days of skiing was well spent....honesetly u really feel somewhat fitter after the ski trip. Well, at least i think i did!

Oh ya, I need to add, for like $25 bucks a nite, we got the entire freaking mountain lodge to ourselves! Seriously, the entire lodge was ours....all ours! There were like 10 rooms, each could hold like 4. So yea, do the maths....the place was huge and there was no one to fight for the kitchen, toilet or anything with us! We could fart anytime, anywhere and nobody would come screaming at us! I reckon that's just the perfect holdiay man!

Anyway, I'll just let the pictures do the talking....too much to write and i have no idea how to summarise everything up, coz everything's too exciting to me!



Taken just outside our lodge together with MJ...I look like a tootface here!


Kung Fu in the snow....Haiiiiii!


Meanie Isaac and Ben trying to bury me in the snow.....brrrr!


It's Snowing!


Ok...by this I'm sure u can tell how cold it is....even our beanies froze up!


2 deluded gals thinking of becoming superheros....


MJ and Me


I'm trying to kick Ben in the stomach with my ski....


Isn't the scenery so pretty....snow covering the mountains, the ground, the roads....everywhere!

Anyway, on a sidenote...
I'm super de duper happy coz my favourite team of 3 world cups...
GERMANY...is still in the running to win the WOLRD CUP title!
I reckon they can beat Itay later tonite...
but its gonna be a tough battle of the 2 teams!
May the best team...(obviosuly-Germany) win!

Sighz...i'm sad...coz i won't be able to watch the full match!
coz i have to head to the airport after half-time to catch my flight out!
What the hell man...this is disgusting!
I haven't missed a single of Germany's matches thus far!
arghhh...i'm getting really frustrated!
The darn airport better have a telly broadcasting the match!
Not sure if they would, considering that Aust has been kicked out of the world cup!
Boo.. :(
