Pure as the Driven Snow

Mount Hotham, a Victorian ski resort (yes there are ski resorts in Australia) is set to create a worlds first with the use of recycled wastewater in artificial snow.

Apparently if it is good enough to spray on vegetables, then it is good enough for face plants.

And watch out for that yellow snow.

This weekend is the start of the season, which looks to be much better than last year, which was a complete dud.

I am a bit of a ski snob, having learned to ski in Aviemore, when we skied on wooden skis and had to lace up our own boots, which hurt all day and we froze our balls off. After having spent many miserable days at Glenshee and The Lecht, battling gales, white outs, rocks and ice, I was lucky to take my basic skiing technique to America with me. I have been lucky enough to spend many a day at Colorado, Utah and California resorts. After my Scottish experience and having skied at some of the best resorts it is hard to get too enthusiastic about Australian skiing, which is unpredictable, crowded and expensive.

I plan to just stick to watering my vegetables.

Funny, I'd never thought of there being ski resorts in Oz. Never skied myself, and, having worked for a med ins company, never would after the tales I heard. But at least you like to do it "properly"!

Very true. When I live in Aspen, there were two knee surgeons, who took up residence and had a very profitable business for the winter. They would take the rest of the year off.

Knee injuries are very ugly injuries and take ages to rehabilitate.

Hotham I rarely saw but Falls Creek was pretty good. I think yopu're referring to Perisher and that whole overrated Snowy business. Buller is dire too but Falls always struck me as a nice sort of resort although you're right about the rest of the world.

You've probably skied some nice fields in North America. Mine have been mainly Kitzbuhl, Valmorel and the like. And yes, they are better.

I have noticed that of all kinds of insurance, medical
insurance is the most questionable because of the struggle between
the insurance company's necessity to remain making money and the user's need to have insurance coverage.
Insurance companies' earnings on health plans have bec low, as a result some organizations struggle to make money. Thanks for the thoughts you share through this site.

Thanks for expressing your ideas. A very important factor is that college students have an alternative between federal student loan as well
as a private education loan where it is easier to
decide on student loan online debt consolidation than over the federal education loan.

Based on my study, after a in foreclosure process home is bought at an auction, it is common for any borrower to still
have any remaining unpaid debt on the mortgage loan.
There are many loan companies who try and
have all fees and liens paid by the up coming buyer.
Nonetheless, depending on specific programs, polices, and
state guidelines there may be quite a few loans that
are not easily fixed through the transfer of financial loans.
Therefore, the obligation still lies on the debtor that has got his or her property in foreclosure process.
Thank you sharing your thinking on this weblog.

I also believe that mesothelioma cancer is a exceptional form of cancer that is generally found
