freshies!
just come back from a 3 day bender at apollo bay and thats a very comforting picture to see
18cm at falls
15cm at hotham
how would i go about getting some work and shit up in the snow..
i want to work up there next year. i know its wayyy early but i got no idea?
good/bad jobs??
i heard on the news 26cm at hotham
yeah, the 11's i tried on originally were too small, toes curled up a bit and generally uncomfortable, 12s were perfect though. toes touching the end but completely fine; walked around in them for probably close to 20mins or so and did some crazy walks just to suss them out. all good though
i range from a 10-12ish depending on the shoe i wear. my volley's are 10s, nikes 12 etc.
hyped about snow falling.
i'm funking awesome

just choose he mountain you want to go to man and then just check their website regularly. then around feb (in aus) job ads go up on their website and u apply online.
i have many friends who have worked all sorts of different jobs... best ones seem to be lifties, working at a pub/bar on the mount, instructors or sales staff (hire gear, ticket sales etc).
a couple of friends have worked for lodges/hotels and they think its fairly shit, because of the hours you work and the little time u get to actually spend out on the snow. thts why i went fora lifty position this season
and how does accom and stuff work.
do they give you somewhere to stay or what happens???
one of my mates has an interview on mountain to be a lifty at buller tomorrow and according to him they provide subsidised accommodation for you. I think he also said that if they can't find you a place on mountain then they'll find a place for you in mansfield and they provide a free bus to and from the mountain every day for you.
wasnt planning on going to falls creek but might see if i can do it cheap now
and how does accom and stuff work.

i had my interview today and u stay on the mount at falls for $95 a week which comes out of your pay. u share with 3 others and get your own bathroom, kitchen and tv. u have to buy your own food but.....staff meals at the pub across the road are $11
falls is the only place in aus where u stay on the snow (apparently)
im so excited now cant wait. june 7th opening weekend . so close now i can almost taste it
i got the board out and started a bit of fine tuning...waxed her up yesterday.
HYPE HYPE HYPE
sounds good roll.
let us know back in here how it goes.
im pretty interested in it too.
would be fun
i may start scottys snow blog and attactch my antics for you all who arent their with me
So fucken good to see some snow on the ground!
Not long now lads!
im going to buy some good qual goggles this year.... any opinions anyone....
i was thinking 'electric' gogles or maybe von zipper????
im on my second pai of spy goggles this season. obviously i havnt used em yet tho so i dont know how they go. old ones wernt bad.
mate has von zipper and reckons there fair shit. i'd go like oakley, dragon, spy or maybe elctric
im friends with the oakley rep so got wisdoms cheap and he recksons his worne every pair of goggles for product testing and swears that crowbars are the best fitting goggle around, but he is probably biased cause of the job, i do some work for dragon so they look after me but i also have a really good pair of wisdoms which are great in fogggy shit. If i didnt have brand loyalty for dragon id probably buy some oakley crowbars for the quality
ive got somesmith goggles atm their not bad but when it gets glary their useless
heres some ive been tossing up between...
electric eg 1s
electric eg 5s
dragon DXS
dragon dx hypno
oh do tell me about the snow
ive never been or seen or touched
it can be soft and powdery or sloshy and wet,its fragile yet hard.... u can do many things in the snow...u must experience it, even if its just once...
snowboarding is one of the greatest experiences u can have in this life....
