Finally reached our destination for the night...

After dawdling our way through the countryside we have reached our destination for this evening...Tawonga South/ Mt Beauty.
We checked into our accomadation for the night...Allamar Motel

Our Room...Fantastic Comfortable bed for $115 per night and close to the snow, great value for money.
Thanks to Stuart for making us feel so welcome.

There was quite a few of us staying here for the night and we all ended up eating at the Settlers Tavern in Tawonga South for the evening.

Great meals and atmosphere all for a fair price. Recommend this place highly if you are passing through or in the vacinity of Mt Beauty.

After dinner we all headed back to the rooms for an impromptu drinks night in preparation for the weekend ahead of us all.

We went through Tawonga Gap to get to Mt Beauty, a nice windy road but great views from up the top.

Our first offical Snow Information Conference

This weekend is our first pilgrimage to a Snow Information Conference aka SIC. It is a yearly event where like minded people from http://www.ski.com.au/ get together to discuss the current trends in the snow travel, equipment and other snow related topics.
SIC rotates between all ski resorts in Australia and occaisionaly overseas (mini SIC), this year its at Falls Creek. For more information click here http://wikiski.com/wiki/index.php/Category:SIC

Most people are making their way up to SIC today with other popping in and out over the weekend, with most participants meeting up at the Falls Creek Motel which is kindl letting a majority of us stay there for the entire weeknd and will be the hub of most of the activities for the next few days.

Friday night is the drinks night and first offical activity planned, we are getting together and getting to know new faces, catch up with the more familiar faces over drinks and Tapas.
Saturday night we are all gathering at the Falls Creek Motel for dinner and drinks after a good say skiing we hope!

We left this morning after dropping Mr 15 off at school and currently drifting through the King Valley enojying the lovely sun shining through the windows and the clear blue skies on this winter morning.

So stay tuned for more....
