So yes, that was pretty much our itinerary. It was insane! the conditions were quite shocking. Ice particles (icicles) would stab into your face for a good 5 minutes on the Holden express chair lift. It was a painful experience for many of us. Other funny things such as the boys failing to go up the T-bar. It was t-bar 6 kev 0 . Poor Kev, he even grazed his knee on it. Another funny thing was when Rosalie started to slowly snowboard down the hill, Brian follows saying "I'm next!" and instantly stacks it face first. Many other funny things such as colliding, and getting skis and snowboards tangled when getting off chair lifts.
It was one long 20 hour day. But an extremely fun, and exhilarating experience. Fun Fun Fun :)
