Over $600,000 invested to improve snowmaking quality and output on Roller Coaster at Blue Cow.

Yowser - $600k for one run!!

Sunkid Rotondo Carousel to improve children’s programs.

I have no idea what this is but to me me it just has potential for injuries written all over it!!

Roller Coaster is one of my fav runs so hells yeh!

Mates and i always bomb it as fast as we can to see who can get to the bottom first. Always ends with a few people sporting some injuries but well worth it

Haha such a mad run. Those rollers are great for popping off.

That sunkids thing looks slow enough to not cause injuries. I think it will help kids learn smile

And its still bloody expensive!!!!!

Oh yeah I am stoked as I love roller coaster as well! Will be sure to post a video of me on it one morning before lifts open wink

But it just reminds you of how expensive things really are for them (but yes they should still not rip us off as much)

Yeah the sunkids thing looks innocent enough… well see! LOL

Incidentally my nephew is not keen to start skiing this year! He has been on snow holidays his whole life but this will be his first year of ski school and he just wants to throw snowballs!

I tried yesterday again to convince him to try skiing and that he gets to throw snowballs as well and he said - “but what if i go to fast and slam into the snow!”

Oh bless

Maybe but you can’t but 4yo in resort lessons. So skiing is where he starts!

Well said!

It’s about time they dropped prices. But they need to drop them further! Not exactly ‘slashing’ them IMO.

yeah I know.  they don’t seem to like putting them in for boarding until they’re at least 8 - something to do with their muscle development.  my daughter is 7 and she is skiing for now.  Next year I’ll give her the option.
