Perisher 2013

That FV shot looks rpetty good DRC, stoked you had fun.  I will probably be going down with the GF this weekend if things fall into place. 

Is anyone going down mid next week or keen to?  I’m thinking about going down for a couple of days but at this stage will probably be solo.

Cheers mate, Was chatting with Dylan about riding with you. Will have to tag a long with you on one of the Smiggins expeditions as well!

Yeah I was pretty sure it was going to snow when I left last night but to be honest I wasn’t really fussed. It might sound a bit snobby but after 80cm Japow days I didn’t think anything Perisher could produce would be mind blowing especially on limited runs. Don’t get me wrong though I’m stoked it’s snowing today I hope it keeps on coming resulting in more of the mountain opening up! But the way I’m feeling today a day keeping warm and vegging in front of the TV isn’t going to hurt. Two weeks of school holidays from Saturday so plenty more chances to ride then.

This, it was pretty bloody slick yesterday!

Unless there is a ski patroller standing in the middle of the bottom section telling everyone to slow down! (witness some decent scorpions when people slammed the brakes on)  teacherboy

how was sleeping in the car ?

Good enough that I didn’t bother pitching the tent!

The first night at the ski tube was pretty cold (heard something about -12c but I could be wrong) I did get a bit cold but was only in a tshirt and didn’t zip my sleeping bag up all the way. Once I got the zip sorted I was all good.

2nd night at Jindy was fine temp wise but my guts were another story sick

Biggest issue for me was a lack of an organisational system and general space to do anything but sleep in the car. I like things to be in order and easily accessible so got a bit sick of living out a couple of bags but packing better next time and pitching the tent will solve these problems.

Nice!

Caravan park had showers (could have been a bit hotter though) and also has a drying room (put my boots and gloves in there)

Most of my stuff really didn’t get that wet so I just cranked the AC in the drive back from the tube. My BW hoodie was a bit hard to dry so I wore it to the pub and it had dried out by the time I got back.

Stay away from Dylan and co?  tongue rolleye

Not really, Just make sure you are fairly organised in your packing as you don’t have as much room to lay everything out to get to it. Make sure you have some form of light and something to store wet/dirty stuff in.
