As can be seen from these
photos Tim could hardly contain
his
enthusiasm. The excitement on his face rivals the excitement on my face
if I found out I could fuck Jessica Alba.
The annual pilgrimmage (started years ago by the founding forefathers of EC, but that's another story) began on July 18th 2004. Well, that's when the actual trip began, but the planning went back all the way to last year's snow trip. At some ridiculous hour of a fucking cold Sunday morning a convoy of 2 cars left Sydney bound for Jindy and good times.

NB it's still dark outside. Why
the fuck did you guys
leave so early?
Anyway, in Konrad's Berlina (aka EC1) were Tim (aka long-john, aka drunk tim, aka skipper), Linds (aka captain) and Konrad. And in the Prius (aka Caboose) we had Jason, Hugh (aka Goon of Fortune) and Dev. Fox and Ev Mh0 (aka Morning Glory) travelled in the Mirage at a more sedate hour of the day.
The convoy made good progress out of Sydney and managed to miss the traffic altogether. In hindsight it turns out that leaving at 4am was probably overkill as there isnt normally any traffic on a Sunday till about 10am. Being impressionable young adults and seeing that fucking ad during every ad break on tv the convoy decided to take heed of their advice and "stop, revive, survive". This is what ensued...
Looks
innocuous enough. Get out, have a stretch, thumbs up from Linds. And
then Tim got bored...
So
he decided to jump over the logs whilst making his best Zoolander face.
I think this one is "blue steel".
Soon
Konrad and Linds were joining in on the fun! All this purely to prevent
the onset of DVT. After all this exercise Konrad was a bit thirsty, then he needed to take a
piss.
Now it just so happened that on this eventful Sunday, there'd be a God damn blizzard pretty much as soon as you left Canberra. This was bloody unreal if you were already in Jindy or on the slopes, but for us trying to travel there it was a major pain in the rectum. For a while the Monaro Hwy was closed, and then it opened but you had to carry snow chains. Actually I've jumped ahead a bit because we knew we'd have trouble due to it snowing in Goulbourn. It was about this time (~12pm) that the mirage left Sydney.
Upon
arrival at Jindy the convoy met up at the predetermined location and
collected boards etc from Rebel hire and then with much anticipation
onto the slopes. Oh and we also picked up Dicko
who happened to be waiting down there for us.
