A day in the snow

After spending two years here I had finally gone to Ben Lomond - the not-to-be missed attraction in Launceston. It is a snow mountain located south-east from Launceston, nearly an hour drive to the top. The journey up the mountain was spectacular but extremely hazardous. It is not recommended if you decide to drive up yourself without the proper gear and knowledge. One mistake and that could be the last mountain you ever seen. Hiring a coach is not expensive and you can check the information here.

1. I was really lucky to have blue sky and thick snow when I was there. The snow melted the day after.

2. Beautiful yet subtly-designed chalet on the mountain.

8. The jump seems easy and fun but it was actually hard and painful when landed.

It could be my last visit to the mountain but the beauty, the laughter, and the fun we had will always be remembered.
