Thats what grand parents living on snow are for!
“oh you want us to come visit…”
“well if you insist”
“oh you want to have them all to yourself for a day… please go right ahead”
Did you know, that in 10 years time, most of you will be married with children, using the shred as an escape from ‘that’ life.
Where Tambo and I shall be kid free and laughing our asses off at you guys (and still snowboarding)
You’ll have Grandkids like me!!!!!
Gonna be cool takin them for a shred!!!!!
I’m not sure about the whole kids thing at the moment. Snowboarding is too much fun + the world is overpopulated as it is.

Perisher has a daycare…
Hey guys,
Quick update (and I’ll know more next week). Had a very positive meeting with Thredbo today. It sounds like they really want us there and they want to help us in ways needed so we can continue to grow the event, i.e. function room for trivia etc. I have another meeting with them next week but I’d say it’s all been very positive and looking good. My best guess is we will be returning to Thredbo next year. I know this might not be what some people want to hear, but organising a growing event like this really needs a certain level or support from the resort, and I feel Thredbo is going to give us what we need. Nothing set in stone, but it’s looking good. Just wanted to fill you in.
sweet! cheers Jez! maybe 2014 we can go to mexico!
Thats great Jez!
All you need is one resort to come onboard to help us out and then maybe each year you could have resorts pitch to you and vie for our Shred each year!

im sure we’ll get there eventually, if we keep growing and showing the resorts (i.e. possibly thredbo next year) that we are worth it and bring good business, hopefully the other resorts realise and fight for our company on the mountain haha
I think we might have to start having two Shreds each season. Maybe.
Mid season and spring Shred? Mid season Mexico, spring NSW?
I think Thredbo want to lock in a three year commitment for the Shred. I’ll know more next week.
I feel really bad for not having it in Vic, but at the same time I need the support from the resorts to make it happen.
Anyway, just filling you in with where we’re at. I’ll let you know more when I know.
Its is very possible!
The event I went to Japan for has an Olympics size bidding war each year - it is very competitive to get that clubs business.
(granted we average 1000ppl)
Have to admit that Thredbo is a great location for it!!!!!
It’s great to hear that the new management is willing to work with ya!!!!!
They must’ve got the message about the lack of respect the resort got from the first failed attempt?????
I filled them in, in detail. That goose I was dealing with last season is gone. Apparently others felt the same way I did.
Jes I would be concerned that it would create an us and them if we have two?
I agree with you it is not ideal to not move it alternating years or whatever.
Surely you could come to an agreement with thredbo that when we have it in NSW it will only be Perisher?
