Perisher Skibum 2012!
That looked cool under the lift at the start cos you cant see the cable. looks like floating chairs haha
Good vid Ash. You have the best gopro pole set up.
You just need the yt video id http://youtu.be/YgTMj7fHb2Y and use POST REPLY (not FAST REPLY) there is a youtube button click it and paste the id.
I copy the whole code given when you click share on yt, then delete all but the video id.
Thanks for that Spaz!! So I had a pretty frustrating day today. Went to Jindy last night got really wasted! Probably worse night to go to Jindy considering Peri had a dumping of 40cm last night (as no doubt you all know). I was ready to head up the hill but had to wait for my mate to feel ready to drive and then have a shower. Eventually I just ran out and left her getting ready but got out there way too late.
First lifts would have been SICK! I still found patches of untouched powder. I took the Quad up to mid and started by doing that “rock drop” under the chair near mid (the rocks were covered). When I got there I was adjusting my tripod and I broke it. Spaz Ive ruined by pole tripod! I got it taped up at ski patrol.
When the visibility got low I hit a clump of snow with one of my edges, I dunno what one, and slammed down hard on my leading arm. It is still hurting as I write this, this was on a groomer.
Second run down I’m pointing my board straight on a flattish section and a punter runs into my toe edge and knocks me on the ground.
I wasn’t loving it by the end of the day, the pow was nice but I kept running out of speed and getting stuck (wasnt on steep enough runs I suppose). I need to work on pow riding for sure. Whinge aside Im really super excited about all this fresh snow!
and you’re right about the floating chairs haha weird!
What the hell was that douche thinking!!! You are wearing a bright blue jacket, not like you couldn’t be seen!?
I know right, I was practically going straight too not cutting across the course randomly or anything. :S
Did you blow up at him?
I would have lost it!
Yeah I did, I yelled at him while I was lying on the ground haha. “Oh my god what the hell! Watch where you’re going!” He said sorry at least and asked if I was okay. What an idiot, it wasnt like I was taking up room and moving sporadically.
Ouch, that sucks. I think I’m pretty lucky I’ve never really been taken out.
Though I have seen people being taken out and know of someone who did it by accident so it does happen.
And I almost did it in NZ when we were being idiots… Proof once I finish my video lol.
speaking of getting taken out it happened again today, a skier turned straight into me on my blind side! Am I a punter magnet or something? The last couple of days have been awesome! I’ve started hitting up the super pipe, that beast has 18 foot walls, one side is icy the other soft. I also hit my first rail today which I was pretty stoked about, I didn’t do anything fancy just 50 50, I didn’t even land it but I was still stoked!! I’m loving it here, I have 2 weeks to go. It’s gone so quick!
I did first tracks on Sunday morning, it is based around the ridge chair at blue cow, so you can do excellorator which is a double blue or the black runs around it. That was super fun and I was killing it down excellorator. I should have footage of that up soon as Wes, Perisher camo, was filming it.
After first tracks I spent the whole day riding with chicks with stix. It’s a programme that incourages female boarding and skiing. That was awesome, I went with the freeride group, we did tree runs, rock drops, carving, ollieing and Olympic, then we did intro to pipe and park, we hit the pipe and then the baby park (my favourite) piper. Im so tired after such a full on day and I went riding again today.
Loving it!! I’ll have videos and pics soon.

So really you started off in the “freeride” group, then later, went with the “freestyle” group?
Nah it was the same group we just decided to chuck some park in at the end on a whim. Don’t worry I know the difference.
Here’s my first tracks vid:
Don’t worry I know the difference.
Yeah matey, I know for a fact that you do. 
It’s just a shame that, according to the Chix With Stix website, they don’t. 
fail! :(
