Saturday 24 February We thought Solitude was the choice, as we were flying out of Salt Lake City the next day and didn't want to risk Little Cottonwood Canyon closure. Later we discovered it had been closed, so everyone skied in Big Cottonwood that day, you can see the line of cars parked on the road, after the parking lot was filled. Even so, the lift lines were not too bad, only waited in a couple of lines for about 5 minutes in the morning, straight on to lifts in the afternoon.
I ski and inline skate, totally addicted to powder skiing in USA where I have had the best powder on the steepest runs.
My calmer pursuits include book restoration and calligraphy, I now have some Japanese brushes with an ink stone and ink block and did some classes at Sydney Uni, now am having private lessons with a Chinese girl who did calligraphy from the time she was in primary school.
I took up bonsai in 2008 after attending a workshop, did a few rather bad ones by myself until starting classes in Penjing.
I am now having lessons in Penjing (Chinese bonsai) at The Lingnan Penjing Academy of Australia. Penjing dates back many centuries in China, the Japanese took it to Japan and adapted it to become bonsai. Penjing trees are more natural, looking like trees in the landscape.
