how sweet it is



Wallace's Hut...... spectacular spot amongst the snow gums overlooking the range

Travelled up to Falls for a week and of skiing. We were greeted by a clear sky little or no wind for 2 days of breathtaking skiing. The snow on Saturday was so dry and fresh and the grooming was impeccable. The national ski champs were on over the 2 days and we watch some of the racing which was amazing. We headed out both days to the lake loop and had fantastic skiing of around 20 - 25km's each day. The lake loop is only groomed for the hoppet when there is sufficient snow and 2008 has given us some to enjoy. The best thing about skiing at falls is that you can get some decent endurance km's in as there is plenty of rolling trails to ski and frankly you don't really have to ski the same thing twice which mentally helps you.
Still haven't made up the mind about which race to do next week as the hoppet course is great and in fantastic condition but I am still unsure. Will make the mind up by Thursday.
I will let the photos do the talking!

That's me! Happier than a pig in shit with the conditions



Looking back at the sun valley downhill area - those jumps are massive even from the bottom of the valley
