Getting ready to hit the snow

So excited that in 2 days time I will be hitting the snow for my first proper ski trip. 5 days of learning to ski with Matt & some of my best mates.
I have skied before in Whistler for 2 days but that was slightly interrupted by consuming copious amounts of alcohol (which is a requirement for Aussie backpackers in Whistler).
Janelle & Chris (from Perth) and Kate (from Tamworth) are flying in to Melbourne on Saturday and we are making the drive to Falls Creek on Sunday.
We will ski/board from Monday morning to Friday afternoon, with some night skiing on Wednesday as well.
Apart from Kate, we are all beginners and super excited about our first real winter adventure.
Hopefully I will be competent by the end of the week to be able to enjoy some runs and get up some speed.
Full report and pictures to come but I am so excited, I just need to share. Check out the latest snow reports –
