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.

I also think this could be a good idea. It might even accomodate more people in regards to available dates.

What does everything think about this?

Sounds good to me, if I get more than a weekend this year I’d rather plan around that (days before or after in addition)

Makes sense to me.

One of the negatives upon arriving for the “main weekend” last shred was being keen as to start shredding with the BW crew only to find a fair portion were still asleep or suffering hangovers. This made organising and getting a start a bit of a mess. Having everyone fresh and keen at the start may be advantageous whilst still having the week after to ride/party for the true shred heads.

Have a ten year old daughter that I only get to see 50% of the time.

Choose her over snowboarding any day smile

So the first weekend (31st Aug, 1st Sept) of Sept is Fathers day, I get to hang with Mini Shred all day Sunday and hopefully my eldest daughter will come home from Uni too.

the second weekend (7th, 8th), MS is with us for the weekend, even though she would keep up with us all at the Shred, at the ripe old age of 10, I think the shred banter is not needed yet.

Third weekend (14th, 15th)  is the one we can do smile

the next is the start of school holidays down here and MS is with us for the first week…....

and the one after is my 40th at Hotham.

When we can come and go is very restricted and to take off to go snowboarding is frowned upon should (may the snow god forbid) I find my self back in court arguing about the right to spend time with my daughter.

Sept is one of those craps months for us that is dictated for us years in advance downer

Hey, either way, the shred is on when the shred is on. I will try my hardest to make it there, even for a day trip. smile

Ahh makes sense… I forgot about mini-shred smile.

Do what you have to do mate. I’m sure you’ll get plenty of snow this year and for years to come. One day she’ll be old enough to join us raspberry
