Empty slopes
And more trails than I can ski in a day (purple are the runs I got through).

Bliss is a super-cheap ski trip. Also:
Perfect weather, powdery snow, 11°C (52 F) temperatures
Empty slopes

Since I can't tell what or where that ski place is, I can't check their website, so I will ask you, do you happen to know the vertical drop there and/or total acreage?
ReplyDeleteWait do you use acres in Australia?
According to their website (which is here), the total acreage is 3078 acres. We tend to use hectares in Australia, but they have both in their stats.
ReplyDeleteThe vertical drop is (if I'm interpreting that right---I don't even know what it means!) 1165 ft/355 metres.
I don't have any idea how these stats compare to other places, but I suspect not very well. Australian "mountains" are very small. And skiing isn't exactly something Australia is renowned for. But for a beginner like me, these places are all I need.
