Ski Fri - last day

A pretty relaxed exit with no shouting.  I think we drove out at about 7:30.

Parked at Bullock's Flat and took the ski tube.

The reason for driving yesterday was 35% discount v 20%discount for the bring-a-mate and the risk that had we taken forever to depart the accommodation, we may have missed getting into the Perisher car park. 

We have another day in paradise although paradoxically a bit less paradisial would be preferable.

8:40 Phoebe & Frank having our traditional coffee at the ski tube terminal. 

Jemma and Max have dropped their shoes in Jax and are off looking for Pretty Valley. 

Henry and James at Blue Cow and Chris is on the train to join them. 

Frank and Chris on a chair lift. 

Snow was very thin and in some places it runs away.  This is coming down the hill to Pleasant Valley Quad.  Rental ski territory. Mind you if you ski onto it you stop real quick. 

Ski Thursday

Very healthy breakfasts

colours on the road to bullocks flat

so close and yet so far

(Little orbs mini doughnuts $9.50 for 12)

SKI Wednesday

Mid week energy low. The"kids" are wanting a short day. Maybe night skiing was too much ha ha.  Chris has taken the day off.  He

Agreed to sleep in until 7:30 which was about right. 

Chris drove us to Bullocks Flat and is taking the car for a day of touring. 

I think we were on a 9:20 train. 

Jemma and Max are heading for Pretty Valley.

10:00 and Phoebe and I having coffee in the coffee shop above the ski tube at Perisher. 

Phoebe commented my face is getting thinner. 

Compare to last year in Turkey:

2026 SKI Accommodation

This year's hut at Jindabyne "discovery" caravan park below par as set by last year's offing.  

Note to self:  carefully check floor space sizing. 

It's much smaller and poor layout.

Nowhere to put anything. 

KITCHEN

Only one person at a time. 

The layout means you can't have one person at the stove and a different person at the sink. 

Even though the place sleeps 5 and we've paid for 5, only 3 bowls,  4 wine glasses.

Morgan came to the party with:

Tongs, a one person coffee plunger and 4 bowls. 

BATHROOM

Ok

MAIN BEDROOM 

Small. I had to put my bag on top of the wardrobe which was an above head lift. 

Good: power point on each side and a small cupboard. 

KIDS BEDROOM 

Triple decker bunk and a single bed. Usual problem of almost no storage. 

Ski Tuesday

Normal Skiing fishes

4:30 

Night skiing is 6-8:30pm

Ski tube each hour from 6:34… 

Options:

TUESDAY 

Got up a little late around 6:20.

My breaky was oats & nuts microwaved then added yoghurt.

After we arrived at Perisher, Chris went and joined James and Henry and Frank & Phoebe went upstairs at the Ski tube terminal for a coffee and chat. 

Phoebe and Frank did a run down front valley before venturing off on an expedition that included the Wentworth and then the Lawson T-Bar and the Leichart chair lift. 

Lunch in the sun sharing a table with Cas and Olive. Outside Jax looking up front valley. 

Frank then went off on search of J H C and located them at mid station. A couple of runs round to the Leichhardt chair.  Joined by Morgan and Joan. 

Back to the centre and Phoebe and I did a couple of runs before heading in. Phoebe and I had two Aperol Spritz. Jemma and Max joined us for two bowls of Nachos.
