Shred update **POLL ADDED**

I can do most / all Friday and Saturdays.. And im on holidays 22-29th Sept.. And will try my hardest for atleast 1 day (either the Fri or the sat.. Or possibly both.. Depending on funds.. ( but I’m 99% sure ill be there for atleast 1 day))

Ahh shit I had completely forgotten about my September trip to Japan! 

I can’t attend the weekend of the 21st-22nd

Anything from the 18th on and we can’t make due to the commitments of being parents

Before this is good, ideal week is 8th to 15th

I get that people meet up either way… but its different with 5 people compared to 30+

300+ would be a much better number - for Boardworld.

If everyone stops asking “What can Boardworld do for me?”, and instead asks “What can I do for Boardworld?”, that number may be attainable.

Added a poll to narrow down dates that work for the majority.

first and foremost, it needs to be in the best interests of Thredbo and Boardworld, and not individual members.

But if no members go then the deal benefits no one

Loyal members should view the situation as them supporting Boardworld, instead of Boardworld supporting them.

I was not trying to be a d!ck with my above statement just stating a fact. If no one goes (due to date / location / costs ANYTHING) then the shred benefits no one.

Considering I don’t really even snowboard I feel that I have never asked BW “support me”.

I am not looking for a cheap holiday I have free lift passes and free accom at another location. So Thredbo needs to put something on the table for me to make the effort.

This is the last I will say on the matter. Was not trying to create a debate

I’m a little bit the same as Oz, I went a Perisher lift pass again this year, I remember very little of Thredbo other than having to get on a chair to come down the mountain due to horrible coverage down low.  The last time I was there they still had a half pipe in Merrits so I’m assuming the snow making may have changed significantly since then. 

I have probably made my thoughts known on going to the snow, I like to make it as cheap as I can for myself so I can go more often, that in conjunction with annual leave make the the shred a bit of a decision for me this year.  My goal for this next 12 months is saving a deposit I can buy my own joint this time next year and I have some other expenses that need taking care of as well so my snow time might be a little more limited than last year.  The shred is an awesome event but if I go it will probably be as a day tripper for maybe 2 days.

nbg, if you come to shred at thredbo i got you covered for dirt cheap accommodation, i told you about it already any ways.

i also agree with Kim

hrm i hope its not on the weekend of 24th September its my birthday….

Think you need to add a “I’m not fussed, I’ll be there anyway” option lol.

No you just need to pick the option that suits Azz (if you really don’t care!)

A valid point. Good call, TJ.

Does that apply to every single person voting on here without a date preference - just to “pick the option that suits Azz”, because what may suit other people is of lesser importance?

I’ll be around for at least the weekend. If not a few more days. Though with the season pass for Perisher, there might be a chance I’ll perisher for 2 days if it has better snow etc and then weekend the shred.

Personally I think the main weekend should be first. More party, better snow, get to know people and then the rest of the week can die down and people can focus more on their shredding than partying etc.

Thanks for clearing that up Chucky, YES, I am more important than everyone else

Just ask me, I’ll tell you FIGJAM!!!
