Perisher Skibum 2012!
I wonder if Cat is who I watch the fireworks with whom couldn’t remove the giant splinter I got in my little finger.
Ash ended up getting it out using my pliers!
IT WAS THAT BIG

Photo or it didn’t happen 
haha!
haha yeah Cat you met her. I’ve been sharing dinner and breaky with her cos she’s here all alone, she’s pretty nice.
Also, re. previous posts, I agree the blog isn’t well laid out. Not very straightforward!
I’ve had a freeride and a freestyle lesson now. Im loving it, both really worth it, Im becoming more confident as every day goes by!
I’m having a rest day today. Well so far anyway… I feel bad not being on the slopes but my body is pretty tired and I have contracted bronchitis like most Perisher staffers at the moment! Woohoo! haha!
My board is in repair, got a ding in it, also a chip of the top layer on the tail coming off. I didn’t even notice the chipped stuff coming off the tail of my board, neither did Adi (repair dude), until this morning, so he’s repairing it for free for me cos he missed it! Score! Luckily I do have two boards here if I really wanna get out.
The Perisher doctor is pretty funny. When he was listening to my lungs he said “yep you’ve got shit in there.” lol. The chemist always says good luck after I buy meds haha he’s sweet.
My freeride and freestyle lessons have been so helpful!!! I’ve picked up bad habits along the way like fishtailing. I need to centre my weight more and focus on leading with my front leg rather than kicking out the back like a wind-screen wiper. Since having the lessons I know where I need to work and I seem to be improving.
Coming up I’m going to hit the kickers in Leichhardt park for the first time, Ive set the goal of Wednesday depending how my body/confidence goes, Im also going to do the ride every lift in one day challenge, which will see me popping my Olympic virginity. Eep!
I’m also getting more confident in tight tree/boulder runs, learning to absorb the bumps and commit to the runs. It’s super fun. I enjoy the one near jump city and international bumps I believe the other is called, over at mt p.
ski patrol at midstation have done a ripper job with the Christmas in July decos 
Thanks for the update Ash! Hope you feel better soon and your board gets fixed up ok!!!
nice, ashstix! Get someone to film you on the leichardt jumps!
I’m keen to see you try for some air time ash, have you been hitting Piper? (can’t remember if you told me). Get your GoPro out girrrrl!
As much as I want to ride tomoz and the next few days I have a very intense week ahead and can’t keep any focus, think I’m gonna have to drive home tonight and I’m dissappointed in myself because the snow is so good and I’m up for every lift in a day challenge. It will have to wait until next week.
If you don’t hit it this week I’ll be back on the hill Tuesday to motivate you 
(and video it)
sounds rad spaz! Yeah Ive been hitting piper. Im better at jumping than jibbing so far. I really enjoy piper! I definitely should get my gopro out!!
Asssshhhhh…..
Found ya! ha!
All lifts one day challenge… set for Monday! My mate Josh (boarder) is gonna attempt it too.
U ready for some riding with Torah??
Hey schwez, did I met you in Brown Block last week?
Ash said someone from media lives there and was chatting to someone briefly about camera’s etc but everyone was fairly party affected.
I’ll be attempting all lifts on Tuesday. 
Welcome to Boardworld!
haha welcome Wez you skier! 
I’ve been pushing myself pretty hard to get into form for riding with Torah. Little bit nervous but I should be alright.
Re. the lift challenge, I also have a mate coming for a week who is super keen to give it a go!! So keen!
I hit the Leichhardt kickers today, I really need work on these jumps, I dont think Im getting enough speed.
I stacked it the three times I tried it haha.
Sorry I forgot how to work the youtube thingy… here’s the link:
Def have the gopro when you are riding with Torah!!! So jealous!!!
My Dad just started telling me about how a couple of weeks ago everyone was making a fuss over this girl and they filmed her while he was driving the train up to Perisher!
So it was my dad driving the train in Ash’s debute video!!!
hahaha that’s wicked Oz!
Here’s a vid of my mate Jess and I riding today:
