From Isolation to Inundation… Half a metre of May Snow at Mt Buller

LE BENT WELCOMES ELYSE SAUGSTAD TO THE FAMILY
  ELYSE SAUGSTAD – WELCOME INTERVIEW It was obvious to us Elyse Saugstad belonged on Le Bent's team. Not because her husband Cody Townsend’s a bona fide le family member, but because of the way she skis… she bloody rips! And that’s putting it lightly.
