So after a great weekend in Denver we were going to use the car to go to Vail and Beaver Creek through the week. Unfortunately the snow hadn’t been too good for the preceding week but luckily it started dumping on the Sunday night and when we woke up Vail had had 5 inches!! WeContinue reading “Vail”

Beaver Creek
So for our last day with the car we wanted to go and ski Beaver Creek which was just next to Vail and apparently is where all the super rich go! The day before we were there they had had 10 inches of snow so we were pretty excited as it had been fairly warmContinue reading “Beaver Creek”
Kelly & Ben
We had been having such a great season with the snow that it seemed a little unfair that just before Kelly and Ben were coming out, the town got unseasonably warm and the snow started to melt. No fear though as the weather forcast was for snow and four days before they were due toContinue reading “Kelly & Ben”
Coming out of (skiing) retirement!
When we suggested meeting up with Mum & Dad on our trip I will admit I was a little surprised when they decided Breckenridge was the place but then we found out that the plan was to come out of retirement from skiing!! The memories of our skiing holidays here all those years ago wereContinue reading “Coming out of (skiing) retirement!”
Goodbye Breckenridge!
When we were initially planning the trip and decided that we wanted to do some serious snowboarding as part of the trip it took me about 2 seconds to suggest Breckenridge as the place to go. After all the places we have been skiing and boarding it is one of the few places were IContinue reading “Goodbye Breckenridge!”
St Anton
We couldn’t possibly come to Europe in the winter and not get some time up in the mountains and luckily we sent all of our winter gear from Breckenridge to England so we managed a sneaky two weeks in St Anton in Austria spending some quality time in the snow! The first week was justContinue reading “St Anton”

We spent a few days in Tokyo which we just absolutely loved and Japan will be on our bucket list of countries to explore in the future.Continue reading “Japan 2019”
Whistler 2020
Another one for the archives, our 2020 snow trip. This time to Whistler, Canada. We had scored some pretty good accomodation right in the centre of town which meant we could walk to and from the ski lift. From the moment we walked into Whistler village we loved it. The fact that the inner villageContinue reading “Whistler 2020”
St Anton Am Arlberg 23/24
One of the things that helped me through my recovery was the determination to get to do another ski season and where better for us to go than St Anton in Austria where my brother had lived for about a dozen years and my sister had enjoyed a season too. The resort is huge andContinue reading “St Anton Am Arlberg 23/24”
Chamonix here we come!
After our epic Larapinta adventure we spent 6 weeks in Brisbane in the suburb of Auchenflower enjoying the simple things like an ensuite toilet and our own washing machine. 😂 On top of a lot of life admin we also managed to eat our fill of all the delicious Asian food on offer around theContinue reading “Chamonix here we come!”
