Boardworld Shred Perisher 2012 - Confirmation & Payment
Hey Shred Peeps.
I’ll be living/working at Perisher all season so I don’t need accom or tickets etc.But I will definitely be drinking.. I mean riding with you guys
Woot see you around! When do you start? I am always looking for drinking buddies in Jindy
If you go out drinking with Ozgirl, make sure you got a pocket full of stickers !!!!
LIKE!
Where you working / living Andy?
I’ll be living and working in Smiggins :D
mmm smigs pub lol
Ah are you based in Smigs? Don’t stress there wont be much snow before there!
Yeah Patrolling every second weekend from the long weekend. It depends on where my mentor/trainer is based to where I get sent each day.
Cool. Yeah I assume I’m based at smigs cause I have been since 2007. But they are being weird this season. They don’t tell us which staff housing we’re in or where we are based.
I think that is because last year they struggled with staffing I believe with all the early snow. So they will put people where they are needed when you show up.
I am positive last year they were saying on facebook - calls us and if you have a half decent resume and show up tomorrow you have a job!
Last year there was no snow till I chucked a sick day? Mid to late june…
Sure you weren’t talking about 2009, that year had a MASSIVE dump the day after the opening long weekend.
Wow! I remember when I went for my first interview for Perisher years ago. There was thousands of people getting turned down at the sydney interviews. What the hell happened?
Man, if I could get a job tomorrow just bar tending or liftying I would be packing my bags right now.
Last year was the first perisher season I’ve missed since I started. So I didn’t see that, I hope this year is different.
May have been the year before. But I remember they were scrambling for staff.
It wasn’t that the didn’t have applicants when they advertised but it was that they panicked when they opened the mountain early.

Being a lifty would suck. maybe word has got around just how much it sucks. I worked in a lodge atsmiggs 3 seasons and at Charlottes and saw exactly how bad. not only do you not get to ride much when there is good cover cause your working but when the snow is bad they cut your shifts and you live on next to nothing and still pay for accomadation….every season once (especially if they started to close lifts early) we had desperate lifties trying to work for food. Working in a lodge or bar is so much better. I rode everyday, didnt pay for food or accom, got my lift pass and had ok money on top plus you don’t have to do the most tedious thing of all which is pulling t bars!
Yeah and you just need to be there at the right time (when snow starts falling) and you’ll find work.
Has anyone ever needed chains in mid September? Very unlikely they will be needed. Also, the skitube it outside of the national park. Just saying. 
If anyone from Sydney needs chains for their car, I will organise super cheap hire from STM.
No one should need chains if they are staying ON at Perisher. Only those who are coming up the hill each day and parking in the car park.
Thanks for sending me all the emails, guys. I have them all saved in a folder and I will be getting to them in the next few days.
If you find any naked photos in any of the emails…its from me

Currently looks like I may need a room mate for the week. Will email you through soon Jez but trying to get a few people in with me.
If anyone is going down Sunday to Sunday and thinks they will need someone to crash with, I promise I will aim all my pranks at Blizzard and definitely not with room mates
