Dreaming of a White Winter - here we go!

Feel that wind blowing today? There’s snow in that wind! While everyone around me raced indoors and reached for their winter woolies today - I wanted to roar back at the wind like an animal!

My wonderful husband bought me a new split board for Christmas last year - and I am so pumped for snow season! I always love that first really cold wind that signals the start of winter. As a family, it’s the time of year we all look forward to. Last year I got some of the best powder days I’ve ever had (not quite as good as this photo though!) - and I’m hoping to get some more this year!

I grew up at the beach and used to hate the idea of winter. To me it was that horrible time of year when all my friends stopped coming to the beach, and the sun went to bed too early. That all changed when I was introduced to snowboarding though - it’s like surfing a mountain.

The Australian Alps are one of my favourite places in the world. The mountains have such a special feel about them, and in winter they can be a blissfully silent playground. I’ve enjoyed snowboarding in the resort for years, but this winter I’m really looking forward to having go at getting away from the crowds.

I won’t be going too far away from the crowds to start off with (I’ll need to work my way up to that), but the split board will open up the possibility of new runs, without having to walk uphill through deep powder. Woohoooo!!

Expect snow photos soon people!!
