Confusing pictograms
Jason Parker-Burlingham posted a confusing
pictogram so I thought I'd add my own. This is from the path to the beach in
Nida in Lithuania, which is
at the Lithuanian end of the Curonian Spit. That's the sliver of sand that juts into
the Baltic, half of which is a piece of Russia marooned inside the EU.
Anyway we worked out what the pictogram meant after walking on the beach.
It means the left path leads to a part of the beach reserved for women only,
which we worked out when Des and I were asked to leave. Confusingly there seemed
to be lots of nude women as well as the bikini-wearing ones you'd expect from the
image. The right-hand path was a general nudie beach for anyone.

The end
Geo: -36.982510,147.142761
All over unfortunately. A great last day. 18cm of snow overnight made for great runs. In the morning I rode the chutes in Heavenly Valley. The afternoon I did a bunch of slushy runs down Blue Ribbon. Loads of fun. We've got a couple of hours of driving to our overnight stay, them driving home via Canberra.

Great morning
Geo: -36.976593,147.147796
Lovely morning today, though the weather looks set to deteriorate. Yesterday afternoon we discovered some lovely and quiet runs that tested our skills. Now happily working the wide black runs. I've really been enjoying the steeply banked runs, sliding up the sides for the turn. Some of there runs are almost a half pipe. I'm pretty happy with my progress this week, though my turns still need some practice.

Visibility: excellent
Geo: -36.984936,147.144996
This view from our apartment window is what the Hotham web site describes as excellent visibility. Fortunately it's a little better further down. The snow is getting a bit plowed up, especially since half the lifts are closed. Still having fun though.
We're doing xmas tonight in our apartment. Roast leg of lamb, veg, sprouts, all the trimmings.
