Discussion: Compass for Oceania champs!

DAng I am just about to get on a plane... knew I had forgotten something... a compass that works down there!!!!
If anyone from Down Under is reading this and has an extra thumb compass (left hand) I can borrow, please please please let me know.

Also I still haven't found a ride for the training day. Anyone going that I could get a ride with?
Thanks!

ride from where?

Barbie, I hate to break it to you, but you're missing snow at Silver Star...
(Oct. 1, 2007 story)

One strategy would be to buy one and travel south more often!

Bash - thanks for the torture. In I don't know how many years I have never missed the first ski. I thought this year I was being smart and was timing myself perfectly to come back from Oz, get a week to recover, and start skiing.
I thought I was being optimistic too! I can't believe I am missing so much snow!!! My neighbours have had their driveway plowed already!

Anyway, it's nice and sunny here so who wants to complaint!
And yes, buying a compass here would certainly be an incentive to come back more often! It's fabulous. Now if only I could get over the 17-hour time difference and get my legs back!!!

Have a great time in Oz, Barbie! Maybe we'll see you in the Land O' Snow when we visit next month.

What? you're coming to Silver Star? cool!
when? looks like it's gonna be a fabulous early season!

Late November - for 'Bent's birthday. Hope to see you for coffee, a ski or something. Looking forward to getting an advance hit of winter!

Ahhhh... Silver Star in the fall. Just back from skiing 1 1/2 hours this afternoon! Fresh grooming (ok, just a few km, but still), lots of snow, snow on the trees, blue sky and sunshine! After skiing a few loops of the groomed trails, I chugged up to the summit via Aberdeen - someone else had skied up before me, so I had a track to follow. Just great!
