Pity. You people really missed out.

Blow me down hey. I didn’t know that.

Great score!

I was never a Uni student so I don't know first hand but apparently The Bold and the Beautiful was and is a cult classic with University students here in Australia. An Australian alternative rock band released this in 2002. If you've watched the show you will recognize the names in the lyrics.

To the Bat Mobile Robin.

So you're staying in the fancy accommodation on the hill? Or can you pay to use their facilities as a day guest? Regardless it seems you're in a pretty great spot right now. I myself am in an office in the suburbs of Brisbane.

I remember back when I was about 8 (so about 1980) we had two hours of telly in the arvo that was a cavalcade line up. Flipper then Skippy then Brady Bunch then Happy Days. Did we export Skippy to the big smoke?

Very much so. My fave episode as a kid was when the Tarantula was on Peter’s bed in Hawaii.

How does Whistler Blackcomb rate for spring skiing?

I've really got to experience this genuine spring skiing in Mammoth. @Tony Crocker If decent skiing is done by say 1pm are there safe (avalanche) hiking trails within a reasonable drive of Mammoth Lakes at that time of year? Hanging around a hotel or drinking at a pub all afternoon is not my...

I sometimes curse* that we got this addiction. I have seriously recommended people from Brisbane not to even try skiing just in case they love it an get the bug (and resulting financial commitments) bad. *Then I get to the mountain and think that I'd pay double to be there if I had to if...

Pretty much what Tony said. Lodging is not at all plentiful and is therefore extremely expensive (think Aspen) and has to be booked with no cancelation months prior. I'm not doing that when there is a decent chance of extreme low tide base or getting rained on. Don't get me wrong I've had some...

The socials are telling me there’s a season starter on the South Island. I’m really trying to resist skiing this coming SH winter. My travel has become one dimensional. I really worry what I would do if an injury prevented a ski trip. I’m going to force myself to enjoy a trip to a beach. :)

Thanks for sharing. I’ve got to get to the UK at some point.
