Mt Buller

So excited I saw snow again!

Last week we had a very unusually cold autumn. And there were reports about snow coming in early on the mountains in Victoria. I was just asking Mathias whether he would like to make a trip up and see snow, because Mathias has never seen snow before. And the very next day, a friend emailed and asked whether we would like to go up Mt Buller to see snow. YES!!!!!!!

On Saturday morning, EARLY morning, we started our journey at 5am (semangat nye…), 3.5 hours drive up to Mt Buller, and thank you Lord, the snow has not melted!

Since we’re up there, might as well try skiing right? I’ve always wanted to try skiing. We were extremely lucky to come on this day. The rentals of the equipment was way cheaper than usual. Even the ski lifts ticket was cheaper than usual.

I was very determined to at least ski properly before I go home. As with learning how to roller skate and roller blade and ice skating, you will never learn without falling. So I had my fair share of falling again and again that day. Thankfully snow is so much softer to fall on compared to hard tar/concrete road.

I am sooooo happy at least I know how to ski a little now… WOO HOO!

Btw, we spent the whole day there from 9am to 4pm, skiing. So after skiing, what else to do… SNOW FIGHT!!!

That was an extremely large ball of snow Mathias was about to throw at me. Lucky he missed.

I know I really had an enjoyable time. Really thanks to our friends who thought of the idea and brought us there to experience it.

On the very next day, I nearly couldn’t get out of bed. I was sore from the tip of my head to the ends of my toes (the things I pay for enjoyment…*rolling eyes*) Joints and muscles which you thought never existed ached. It was so bad I had to take 2 panadols just to be able to walk properly. Funny Mathias was fine. I suppose I’m really that unfit…
