The suffering would be well worth it NNW. Skiing is a hell of a lot of fun as well as a great way to get round.

Then there's the simple fact that I'm taking my long-service leave mid June, Heading up the Centre, and won't be back in Vic until the end of August. Or are you suggesting I cut that trip short just for the dubious pleasure of falling over in the snow and breaking half a dozen limbs?

Andrew B,

Yep, snuggle is similar concept. Onesies we have as well. Wife and 4 daughters all have them. Stupid items. I'm going up Bogong this weekend with wife and daughter 3 (15yo). There's already discussion about onesies.

I'll use my Zpacks hexamid. "They" can sleep in Hilleberg Nallo 3GT......and who will carry both????....

No just one bone will do, just for fun may I suggest a humerus?

My planned last day is August 21 but if the snow is really good I may be able to stretch another week or ten days.

Been there, done that, although it was courtesy of a motorbike rather than skis.

I have to admit to a little internal excitement.
The boss is even asking if she can help with the packing and "Stuff" I think she wants to rearrange the house in my absence.

I think that's my last day off before returning to Purgatory work. Who knows what might happen by then . . .

Wish I could join you but my dish pig is off sick, the front of house manager is angry at me for telling her to "get the #8%^# out of my kitchen" and the sous chef wants my job :-(
