Thredbo 2009: Or, Aussies Will Ride Anything

Let me begin by saying it’s not easy to operate a ski resort in Australia. The winters are short, the weather is unpredictable and the country is pretty isolated, which means resorts can’t rely much on worldwide travelers to visit. That said, I was still extremely excited to be heading to Thredbo, one of Australia’s most popular ski resorts, for some shredding on the tail end of a business trip. It was a steaming 30 celsius in Toronto, and my last day of riding had been in March with Josh. I was looking forward to getting in a few turns on the other side of the planet.
