Thredbo

I went skiing up at Thredbo the other week. It was very relaxing. The weather was generally good, though the snow softened towards the end of the week.

We stayed at Alpenhorn, which was pretty nice. Contrary to their web site they do not actually have 802.11. They had exactly 3 CDs on continuous rotation in the living room for the whole week: Jamiroquai, St. Germain and REM. I don't need to hear them anymore. :-)

Even on the last day, when it had rained overnight and conditions were degenerating, Pete saw a TV anchor on the slopes gushing about the “perfect conditions”. What crap. Chomsky was right.
