Mt Hotham ~


our accommodation..cosy living room, tv with foxtel, a kitchen and stairs!

So up the stairs to our 2 bedrooms...

view from the 2 small long panel windows in the apartment at 7.20am :) the sun was way up high over the mountains already
finally fully geared for some skiing and snow boarding!
outer parts of the resort where some mountains were covered with much lesser snow
saw this along the side of the road..hee a snow boy?!
our venue for beginners' lessons.. Hotham Sports School
pretty snowy tree :)
snowman!!! oh gosh I finally made one after seeing so many such scenes on tv yet never to get to do it in real life :p After the night skiing area has closed, we went up the trails slightly and realised that that particular spot had really soft, fresh and fine snow! Almost everywhere is dark already except for the small yellow lights hanging by the trees and from the houses. Somehow we had the sudden inspiration to make one though we planned to make it next morning initially :p The small one in the background was our very first one named the "husband"?! haha coz the guys insist that it's a male so be it then haha. Not satisfied with a small one up to our knees only, we decided to aim for a much bigger one..so the gigantic "wife" was built (yes the female is more powerful!) and this time round it's up to our chest level :) It was actually built in front of a house coz we wanted it to be in the light. Surprisingly, soon after finishing it, the door opened!!! Think it was one of the staff who was working there and luckily she didn't mind it :p even went into the house to take her camera and took photo of it!
making snow angels!
Amazingly, it seemed untouched and still standing strong the next morning after blazing through the cold, windy and snowy night.
haha a snow bridge made by the 2 future civil engineers who aimed to achieve a Nobel prize with the world's first ever possible snow bridge.

On the day when we were leaving at a higher temp of -4 degrees. Grey snow beside the road as it's starting to melt. So different compared to the day before when everything is all snowy white
