Pfft! Still to early for snow anyway, better if it was r41n.

Actually Spaz, looking at the BOM observations for Perisher they had 45mm of rain yesterday.  That be enough rain for you?

Oh, yes! Very good.

Oh and I saw the Xcam FB page and was scrolling through it and they removed the tree and rock thing that used to be next to the big final kicked on the slopestyle park.  I’m a little flabbergasted that they did that, that was kinda an icon of the park in some way and I really dunno what else they are going to put in there?


That’s from perisher’s facebook.. From when they removed it,

They did it so they have the ability to build FV park earlier in the season and so there is greater visibility for spectators.

Was hitting the hit off the side of that tree (where the bucket of the excavator is) with Rick0889 the first week of the season last year. It was fun but had a hairy landing.

I hope it works out that way, would be good to see a park in operation real early again.

^there was no park when Rick and I were hitting it. So yeah hopefully it allows for earlier. I think the will more utilise the rock than in the past because the tree doesn’t get in the way anymore.

I thought they were clearing the rock as well as the tree, I thought that was the whole point?  Maybe Oz can confirm as she will actually be there before everyone else.

Hmmm
Gonna have to check that out.

i interpreted it as the rock as well. But I will be honest I didn’t know which rock this was!

I did take a photos of front valley on ANZAC day weekend has anyone looked at those?

Edited -

This pic looks like there is a lot of cleared ground at about the right sport you guys are discussing.

and here is another angle.

See people! My TR are worthy of a read!

Looks like Perisher groomed FV to try to get a base going smile

Haha, your TR should be read by everyone. I enjoy them. :whereisthesuckingupsmiley:

The rock is at the bottom of FV directly in front of THE PUB. I’m not sure you took the photos from far enough down the hill. But that big patch of dirt suggests some major work.
Looks like NBG is on the money and your TR are worth their weight in gold.

Comparing these 2 it looks like the same area. The patch of shrubbery in the B/G makes me say it’s the same location.
