After drinks on the Friday was just dealing with 100kmh plus winds.  Dyldo slept through most of it, I got up pretty much on an hourly basis and went round the chateau tightening guy ropes, replacing pegs that had been bent and generally trying to make sure the chateau didn’t implode.  I reckon I was lucky to get 3 hours sleep that night and then we rode all day and did a lot of hiking.  Saturday night we were too tired to take Dyldo out to his favourite rock on the lake shore.  Unfortunately I haven’t had the time to do a TR or edit the video.  I’m leaning towards a season end edit at this stage.

DRC I just can’t be convinced to go thredbo, the mate of mine went this year cause he had a couple of really good days there last year with some of his other mates but for next year he’s swapping back to Perisher, more user friendly and the parks are better according to him.  It’s almost September and Thredbo have only just got Antons going, P has had 3 parks going for over a month now and the pipe is there too and I’m a fan of that.  Also the issue of top to bottom cover and getting icy after lunch don’t appeal.

If I didn’t have a P pass this year and I wanted one for next year I might have got the thredbo one for the Sept riding but as it is I bought myself and the GF a season pass at P for next year.  If you get a free day for a friend on the thredbo pass and someone wants to spot me a day I’m happy to check it out but honestly with the amount of time I go to the snow keeping it cheap is my major driver and paying $100+ for a lift pass when I don’t have to pay at P is a waste of money.

I’ve done 27 days so far this season and probably spent $2-2500 doing it plus my season pass so $3200 worse case so about $100 a day all things considered.  Doubling that just to ride thredbo doesn’t appeal.

Oh yeah for sure you’d be silly to buy a day pass when you have a Perisher pass (I’ve never done it myself in the 2 years I’ve had a pass, though I have consider a day at CP)

I was more pushing you towards a dual pass lifestyle tongue wink

But you did enough days this season to justify it!! teacherboy

I was originally considering not getting a Aussie pass as I intend on doing NZ in early July and USA/Canada in our Summer but when I sat back and thought about it I generally easily do enough days between late July>October to justify it. It also tends to encourage you to make the effort to go more often which can’t be a bad thing!
