Had a great week skiing in Oberstdorf in Bavaria. Snow conditions were good (but not as good as Japan) and the views of the Alps were spectacular. Oberstdorf is a pretty town with classic Alpine architecture.

Thredbo recently held an award ceremony for long serving staff and I received a certificate and gold pin from General Manager Stuart Diver for 20 years instructing. Time flies when you're having fun!
