OFFICIAL SNOWTHREAD

cough i get 35 a night weekdays holla

my friend is the part owner of a lodge in jindy and he gets accom for $5 a night, even in peak season

hey jv thats pretty mad, would be a bit pricey though ey? Im only going up one week and theirs going to be no room for any gear due to beer taking up all boot space

haha one of my mates drinks really only beer, so we r gonna have to take that up, but the 3 of us are goin up in my mums landcruiser, so theres a fuckload of room for booze, boards and clothes.

yeh it's pricy, but if u save towards it it doesn't phase ya as much haha. wish i was a member at a lodge like bibby but it aint gonna happen any time soon! plus arnt most of em ski clubs anyways?

youd dont always save that much with memberships cause with mine you have to pay annual fees so you need to use it alot to get any real saving, where abouts are u staying? u going to get a season pass?

yeh already got a season pass dude, still and year 12, and i got the $544 pre-season special. we will but up every weekend, or every other weekend.
were prob gonna stay at benmore. not 100% booked till we lay down the cash tho in like a month, so i guess if i come across a better deal before then i will consider it.

u going up opening weekend?

nay but i will be up the following two weekands cause i need to get my cert 1 so i can instruct o/s then il be going up maybe the wednesday of the first week of the holis till then sunday, what are u doing about hw jv?

gonna just take it up man. i got a laptop aswell, and the place we stay at has free internet acces, fairly fast aswell!

i shud be right. i do fuckall homework as it is, and i have a feeling that i'll get just as much, if not more, done while i'm up there cos usually these fuckall to do after lufts close, and i wont got out till liek 9 or so anyways.


r u doing that instructor course thingo? its like $400? does that acctually give u cert 1?

It looks like i'll just be there for the cattlemans weekend again before heading over to hotham for a stint. Being from Qld it would be much appreciated if someone could spare me some floor or a couch as just getting down there is a full mission...
I'm an old grumpy snowboarder that will shout alcohol in return for accom...

hahaha leigh! the best i could do is a lift up the hill maybe?

DONT LET THIS THREAD DIE!!!!

less than 90 days till official start of the season!

what are your plans? whos going were this season?

i'm pumping myself up already it's quite sad, i'll be gaging for snow by opening weekend!

my friend drew, melon

me, indy

some of falls creek terrain park

drew mangled after attempting a rather large handrail..

artistic?...

melon is nice, was it taken from on the lift? get right in there, it would have looked huge from closer and looking uphill

storms incoming, i'm off to chamonix on wednesday arvo

'melon is nice, was it taken from on the lift?'

i think it was taken from behind the jump (uphill), the terrain park is on a pretty steep run so it may just look like it was shot from the lift. i have some pics from the lift but they look shit. you cant even see the jump outline so it looks like your just doing a trick from jumping off the flat ground.
