I got a kick out of Age writer
Jim Schembri’s final ski of the season. Yup, the slopes are officially
closed at Mt. Buller in Victoria, Australia, as the downunder crew gets
ready for summer. But Jim got one more shot at the snow last weekend and wrote this
funny
bit about it.
I’ve only skied once in my life and cold weather sports are not really my thing, but when a writer can make me laugh
about it like this, I have to give special props. Jim’s snow-bombarded day truly hit upon the highs and lows of winter
mountain action, and had me actually considering the slopes myself. I think skiing with my Aussie pals could be a real
hoot, and might ease the pain of the nasty falls I’d have all day…they wouldn’t hurt nearly as bad as the sarcastic
jabs (and snowballs) they’d be throwing me all day. Here’s to Jim and the many Matts for making my day.
