Live and learn - 2 months on and my big toe is still looking like a Cabernet grape from too thick a sock and too snug a ski boot. AB - its THIN socks; write it 100 times. (Bugger.)
On top of all that, it seems this snow season past was indeed one of the worst in the industry's history, with maximum snow depths of only 20-50cm at most resorts. Hotham was indeed struggling - if you think my toes bad, you should have seen the base of my (thankfully hire) skis. Theres an interesting story on the season in The Age today...
Contender for the 2006 head in the sand award must go to Andrew Ramsay, executive officer of the Australian Ski Areas Association, which represents the ski lift companies, who said it was "absolutely facetious crap" to connect the the disasterous season with climate change. Errr... Andrew.... hello... remember sponsoring a little thing called "keep winter cool"?
