Perisher 2013
Or you just put them on fb to help create a profile as a photog.
And of course post them in the SoHe photo comp on Boardworld!
Might have been me…...
I have seen a few riders with BW stickers. Over the years, and I always go talk to them so there’s a fairly good chance if it was in smiggins, it was me.
I used to rock a white helmet. What year was this?
Yeah could have been! This was only just last year!
I was just watching a bit of snow cam pr0n is that mostly snow making or has it been snowing for real in the mountains.
snowin’ for reels man!
snowin’ for reels man!
Them epic snow feels!
Finally able to get onto hotel wifi and saw the perisher cams. Oh yeah!!! Can’t believe it’s been coming down that thick and fast.
This seems to have been the season the make sure you got a pass..
I’m told 15cm of fresh snow last night and they have been blasting the snow guns every time it drops below zero.
Bonus bit of trivia you may not know. Perisher adds/improves it’s snow making every year. Sometimes adding new guns, sometimes updating the old ones to more efficient automated guns which can switch on digitally the second it’s cold enough.
Started typing all the changes but it will take to long, so I stole this from their website:
Excelerator Snowmaking Automation
Project cost $1,200,000
A combination of automated Techno Alpin lances and fan guns are being installed at 27 locations on Excelerator ski run at Blue Cow.
Significant energy savings will be made with the installation of the new snowmaking system on Excelerator and Lower Escapade ski runs.
A large proportion of the energy used in snowmaking is for the production of compressed air which is mixed with water to produce snow through the nucleators in the snow guns.
Each new technology snow gun only uses approximately 15% of the compressed air required by the older technology guns to make the same amount of snow.
The new snow guns are controlled by computer software and have their air/water mix constantly adjusted to maximise efficiency under the prevailing climate conditions. The computer controlled automation also allows significantly quicker start-up and shut down than the current manual operation, further increasing efficiency.
Lower Escapade Snowmaking Automation
Project cost $450,000
A combination of automated Techno Alpin lance and fan guns will be installed at 14 locations on Escapade ski run located in Centre Valley.
Front Valley Snowmaking
Four new automated Techno Alpin fan guns will replace older versions adjacent to the PlayStation Slopestyle course. These will be more energy efficient and provide an increased capacity to produce more snow for better riding and park building.
Slope Grooming Works
The cutting of regrowth on many of the ski runs, particularly in Smiggin Holes and Blue Cow, has been carried out removing obstacles, allowing these runs to be opened with less snow cover.
Mini Halfpipe at Yabby Flat
A small halfpipe is to be built alongside the Yabby Flat Terrain Park to allow beginners to learn the fundamentals of halfpipe riding before progressing to the Front Valley pipe.
Skier/Boarder Cross Parks Now Permanent
The SX/BX courses proved very popular last season and they will again be constructed at both Amaroo at Blue Cow and adjacent to Wentworth T-Bar in the Centre Valley area (with the added boost of snowmaking).
This sees Perisher with an incredible seven terrain parks in 2013 (including one under lights), that’s more than any other Australia alpine resort.
New Grooming Machine Addition
Another Bison X grooming machine will be added to Perisher’s extensive grooming fleet.
Zali’s – Two New Automated Snow Guns
Two New Techno Alpin automated fan guns will be replacing two existing older technology manual fan guns on the lower section of one of Perisher most popular ski runs - Zali’s at Blue Cow further improving energy efficiency and snow production quality.
