Snow NSW 2012

Went to our yearly snowtrip with another couple
we have been doing this for the last 3 years so its become our tradition :P

the big ram outside Jindy

lots of farm land and mountains on the way there

Jindy is about a 6 hour drive from sydney
we stop about half way for lunch



we stayed at the same accomodation
in a studio appartment in Jindy
which is a 30min drive to the snowfields of Thredbo and Perisher

we spent 6 days on the snow, 3 days per snowfield
i think i prefer Perisher as it has more beginner ones i can practice my turns on.

the 1st 3 days were pretty windy, the snow got blown off the mountains so it got abit icey after awhile =\

then it snowed on the 4th day.
usually the snow only stays on top of the snowfields
its pretty dry with no snow down the montain etc and in the towns
it snowed all the way to jindy that day tho!!

and then we had nice sunny/cloudy days for the last 2 days :)

on the way back to sydney we stopped at grandma's instead of maccas


was pretty nice! alot better then maccas

we got scones

i had a pie

my friend had a spinich cheese thingy

nice steps outside grandmas
