Falls Creek, 2014

We arrived on Monday evening, July 28 It was foggy but with lots of snow.

On Tuesady we stayed in the lodge because it was still foggy. 

On Wednesday we stayed in the lodge because it was raining. The rain absorbed into the snow but conditions were not pleasant.

On Thursday, the wind picked up to tempest rates. All the lifts closed, except for the gully chair. So we stayed indoors.

The weatherman promised snow onThursday night followed by a sunny, skiable weekend. 

It snowed foggily all day Friday. I could ski but Jo gave up after one run.

The weekend was glorious with clear, blue sky, crips air, a hard packed base with a light cover of fresh snow and all tows running. Of course, there were heaps of people but that gave us a rest in the chair queue.

But no wi-fi. I found one lodge that had wi-fi in it's foyer but no chairs. And the day shelter's wi-Fi didn't work. So I survived not only a week of variable weather at Falls Creek but also a week without Internet.

And I finished socks.

And almost another pair as well!
