Weeee! Boarding (and bouncing!) down the mountain at 58km/h...

End of the first day, we head up for the long run. Yes those shadows you see near the bottom are skiiers. That's a big... bumpy... face.

...one last t-bar and we head off for the 'big bumpy run'. But somehow we missed the start of the off-piste run we wanted (or was that a cunning diversion by Glyn?) and head back down the main trail.

That gondola goes to a look-out point on the highest peak. You can't take skis up there though.

Cubie + Greg, & the slope in the background where they came down. (Greg on the right of the trees I believe). Mad.

It also has a baby 'learn to jump park' (or learn to bounce off jumps, in my case)
