And so the sunshine has gone and we’re getting set for winter. The rain has been falling, the winds blowing and the leaves falling. This weekend the hard stuff has started – snow! Typically the first fall of snow for the year coincided with us having to take a trip over the pass to the other side of the mountains for Harry’s latest soccer match.
With plenty of snow falling we set off at just before 9am for the 2 hour journey to the soccer match. This in a UK context was like us getting up, driving across to Grandads, playing a soccer match and then driving home again! You just wouldn’t do it in the UK but they think nothing of it here!
Anyway, we set off at 9 and within a half hour we were up at the snow line. There was slush on the road and snow by the road. The ski slopes were covered and there was a good few inches on the trees so we decided that we would stop on the way back and throw a snowball or two.
After the game and a brief stop at Roslyn we got back to Hyak Sno Park and came off the freeway for a play. Trouble was the sun had been out and as this was the first snow of the year it had melted away pretty quickly. Still we did manage to take a couple of pictures and throw a couple of snow balls.
Roll on more snow and lots of fun ski-ing and tubing!
