There are a few snow resorts which are close to Bright, like Mt. Buffalo 45 minutes drive, Mt. Hotham and Falls Creek 75 minutes drive.

Setelah tanya-tanya di Information Centre, kami memutuskan untuk ikut tour setengah hari ke Mt. Hotham pada tanggal 25 Agustus 2010 dengan biaya A$50per orang. Suhu di Mt. Hotham pada hari itu adalah -7C.

After asking around at the information center, we decided to go up to Mt. Hotham on 25 August 2010 on a chartered coach at cost A$50per person. The temperature at Mt. Hotham that day was -7C.

    

Kita dijemput jam 12 siang, terus kita mampir lagi dulu di Harrietville town untuk menjemput 12 anak sma dan 2 guru pembimbing mereka yang mau main ski di Mt. Hotham. Sepanjang perjalanan salju turun, tapi perjalanan lancar dan pemandangannya indah sekali .

We were picked up at around 12pm, then we stopped at a town called Harrietville to pick up 12 students with 2 teachers who were going to ski at Mt. Hotham. It was even snowing on the way up, but it was a beautiful drive. 

Karena perjalanan ke atas sangat licin, mobil-mobil harus dilengkapi dengan rantai pengaman. Di tengah jalan akan ada pos untuk membantu memasang rantai di roda pengemudi sebelum meneruskan perjalanan ke puncak gunung. 

Because it is a very slippery and icy road, every vehicle needs to put chains on to provide grip. At the half way point, there is a station to help the driver to put the chains on before going up. 

Rasanya perjalanan ke puncak lama sekali. Tambah ke atas salju bertambah tebal. Duh... semangat sekali  rasanya... 

It was a long way to the top and the snow became thicker as we got higher. I was so excited. 

Akhirnya sampai juga di Mt. Hotham. Bagus sekali ya saljunya..... ^_^.
Finally, we arrived at Mt. Hotham. The snow is very beatifull....... ^_^

Melihat orang-orang yang main ski, saya jadi ingin belajar ski juga......

Seeing people ski make me want to learn.....

Meskipun tidak bisa lama main saljunya karena cuaca tidak mendukung, tapi senang sekali rasanya sampai saya malah lupa sama dinginnya. Semoga satu hari bisa balik lagi. 

Even though we didn't stay long at the top because of the extreme weather, I was so happy that I forgot about the cold. I hope one day I can come back.
