Grouse, we’re heading up to Buller for the weekend on Friday - can’t wait!
Yeah I’m all booked in for riding friday, saturday and sunday at perisher. Looks like it’ll be an awesome weekend 
if anyone wants to meet up shoot us a PM
awsome CAN"T wait!!
I was at Thredbo today. Just spent the day on Friday Flat (took my bro boarding for the first time) and even the snow there was beautiful and soft!
heading to perisher sunday week. Hope it keeps coming till then!
hey snow crazy,
At the top of Friday Flat as you get off the chair, to the left, was there a snow archway looking like an igloo was being built?
Heading back down tomorrow, but probably not riding.
so… jelous.. of all of you. :( ... common december..

As you get off the chair there was to the right! I think I saw about 10 stickers!
so tempted to make a one day dash down to thredbo or perisher on sunday.
think it would be worth it?
I havent been to thredbo since i was a kid, but i heard its good this season!
might even have to convince someone to stay for the monday
know of any cheap accom @ thredbo?
Aw man. Too bad Perth doesn’t get anything like that. The best I can hope for is a 4wd trip to go sandboarding once in a while. And sand gets EVERYWHERE!!!
I was hoping to go to Colorado for the season this year, but it looks like it may have to wait until next time round. Have to do VacWork for uni :(.
thinking of headin down this weekend but i have to work friday!
anyone got some accom for this weekend with space for 2?

Hope the crowds stay low for ya!!!!
yeah not too stoked about the whole crowds thing but the snow will make up for it and i’ve been thinking about booking a lesson for one day so hopefully that’ll pay off with reduced lift ques and some good pointers for my riding
banger: would love to help out but our room is already packed.. no wa we could fit anyone else in unfortunately :( had you posted a week ago would have been sweet but as soon as people saw the forecast all our spare spots filled up. worst case scenario check out wotif and see if you can grab a bargain off there for jindy or cooma.
rider was completly right, it actuly snowed in cooma this morning, sept it was all frozen be the time i got out of bed
and there was black ice on the way to jindy too.
