I was standing on a small patch of icy snow, crammed with kids and families when I realised I’d changed.
Corin Forest snowfield is just 45 minutes drive from Canberra city and we went on a whim, last Sunday afternoon.
As we collected our tickets and wandered up to the snow, a small voice in my head said, “Is this it?”
I’ll admit I’ve become a snow snob ever since I moved to Canberra. We go to the Snowy Mountains every year and I’ve often whinged about crowded slopes and runs that aren’t groomed to my liking. I sigh when the snow is icy or patchy.
So this field of snow, only slightly bigger than a football pitch, should have been a huge disappointment. I should’ve been thinking how little and crowded it was. But one glimpse of my little boy wiped all complaints from my mind.
