Well, After a GREAT 11 day holiday in Saalbach, Austria skiing with my family and Sun and Ski Holidays, I have returned to sunny Cape Town, where the mercury is at least 40 degrees warmer than it was whilst in Saalbach!!! (Saalbach was sitting at close to minus 15C – damn cold) and I am ready to P-a-r-t-y with the local croud once again!!!
There is tonnes of news, but I am not going to bore all of you with all of it right here… But I will tell you some of the stories, and if you want, show you some of the pics!!! I have loaded a couple of the pics right here, but the rest will be kept for the New Year Braai that I am going to have in February some time!!! (As soon as I have a date in mind, I will send out the invites…)

All of the SA guys that work at Sun and Ski Holidays… They are there for a 4 month skiing season… Quite a long time in that harsh climate I might say… (Rowan, Marty, Warren and Jarod) | |

Getting ready to tackle one of the main slopes on my HOG… Tonnes of fun racing down the slopes… Better than skiing and snowboarding together !!!! | |

Having to put on your ski boots each morning was a pain in the ass… But you get used to it after a few days !!!! | |

A picture of all of the jet streams that are left behind by the many airplanes that are in the sky at any one time !!! | |
