| Perisher Staff Party 2011 |
Since I last wrote in here over a year and half has passed. 2 winters at
Perisher, one in Sweden, yet another trip to Thailand (trip #5). In
many ways a lot has changed while in most- a lot has stayed the same.
The Perisher season kicked off nicely and before we knew it the staff party was upon us. If I remember correctly the theme was heros and villans? Something along those lines. And what better opportunity to pull out old faithful: The Joker. Inspired by Peter Smistrup back in the day: this is an old favorite that I have pulled out on at least 3 separate occasions. Combined with several jokers pulled from some decks of cards, a nice suit and tie: this was one of my best attempts to date.
Meanwhile, off location (and back in 2010): There is something addictive about scaring the hell out of people. While make the most of the body paint tradition at the Full Moon Party: I had at least 10 different people want to take their picture with me. - No I am *not* an attention whore - ok maybe a little. On this particular occasion I got an extreme amount of joy out of running up to unsuspecting people and asking "WHY SO SERIOUS?!". It was only when some guy curled up into a ball at the bar where they sell "special" shakes that I decided it was time to put the joker to rest and wash my face. He sat there staring at nothing shaking his head and rocking back and fourth. It was very reminiscient of bart and his new crib. "Can't sleep, clown will eat me... can't sleep...."

| Lake Jindy boating with Luke |
Snow-wise while the season started out incredibly (something like 110cm in 3 days!) there was very little snow to speak of from there on in. I kept myself busy by going out on boat trips and meeting my share of new faces. I did take advantage of the fresh powder early on to try my first series of tame-dogs (front flips) which while they were preceeded by many failed attempts, including several head landings, and very ugly: had a couple of successful moments. Injury-wise it was a pretty good season. Just a torn AC joint in my shoulder and a bruised meniscus on my right knee. Nothing serious.
