Ski buffs, well those who are old enough, would remember 1990 across the Australian Alps.
Only a few days before we were to leave Sydney, in the later part of June, we were worried that it would be pretty ordinary skiing. The day after we arrived however, it started. Relentless snow and bitter cold - it was wonderful. And it was still coming down 5 days later as we left!
In the first 24 hours we must have had close to a metre of snow. I can vividly recall people looking bemused, just hanging around their cars during the morning -- cars that were basically completely covered as in the picture I took below.

Bit of a delay between July and now but here are a handful of the pics i took while at Thredbo. I had an enjoyable time even if i did manage to tear the cartilage in my left knee on the first day there lol didnt stop me skiing though! I have picked only a small handful of pics which were in my opinion the most interesting pics i had taken on the 3 day trip. (Excuse the quality as i was only using a 3.2 megapixel phone camera)
