Had a most pleasant flight from LA to Brisbane. I managed 5 or 6 hours sleep. The Bose noise cancelling headphones will be a necessity for all future flights.
Sitting in Brisbane Airport for a couple of hours waiting for connecting flight to Perth provides the ideal opportunity to recap and reflect on US Ski 2015.
It goes without saying it was an absolutely awesome trip. A little more of the deep stuff would have been good, and it is somewhat ironic that we caught Colorado and Utah in one of their driest Januarys on record. But that's ski vacations. You pay your money you take your chance. We got terrific packed and groomed winter snow everywhere we went.
One of the most striking things about this trip is that each resort had its own special flavour and unique points of difference.
I skied 20 of a possible 24 days on snow in the US. Not a bad result given the mileage covered travelling between resorts and the body management requirements.
It's great to read the Niseko blog and see the team has been getting some quality pow. You've gotta love Japan for the way it can consistently turn it on. Snowbird is renowned for its consistent deep snow in much the same way as is Niseko, so I feel there is an itch that may need some scratching in the future.
Niseko or Snowbird in 2016....that's gonna be a tough call.
