I know right… 7 snowboards = at least $4000 worth of prizes alone!

We just need to convince Amime that there should be some YES comps smile

Yes isnt a BW sponsor (yet wink ), which is why im guessing there isnt one in the prize pool. All the prizes have been coming from sposors.

yesterday myself and warren decided 2 give perisher a go… we met up with a few mates that always go riding there…. we started off at smiggins and traversed all the way over the blue cow (so much effort), there was really good snow cover there n had some good fun but we werent there 4 long cause the ppl we where with wanted 2 ride the small park at smiggins, so we traversed all the way back there, only 2 find out that the park sucks (sorry perisher locals but it really did suck) so we took it upon ourselves to traverse all the way back… lucky we did cause it started puking down snow n we got some really really good powder runs up at blue cow and guthea (i cant spell lol) ended up having a really good day with all the snow falls n good runs with no1 around… will have a make a trip there again, but not 2 ride park lol

Lol Smiggins park is like going to Wombat world / Merrits

And you must have traversed a really bad way lol.

If you want decent parks, Blue Cow or Leichart for Intermediates (Similar to High Noon) or Front Valley for Pros.

small park at smiggins, so we traversed all the way back there, only 2 find out that the park sucks (sorry perisher locals but it really did suck)

i have to disagree with you. it is a beginner park. i like it as i’m a beginner at doing jumps and boxes and stuff

3 weeks ago i hit it and found it fun. i can hit it at speed get the idea of getting air and put some grabs in, practise small spins

i found some of the jumps were better made than last year and i was getting more air and distance

they do need more features lower down on the way back to the T bar like they have had in the past

lol yea i new i spelt Guthega wrong jus couldnt b bothered looking it up

we rode another park not 2 sure what it was called that was ok it was over at blue cow, the only problem was the a box right at the bottom of the down ramp not a very good place 2 put it i think, hopefully 1 day ill b able 2 ride the park at front valley that one looks amazing!!!

the boxes in that park r good to hit i just think the jumps where bad to hit couldnt land one thing on them, maybe the bad weather before i was there destroyed the jumps a bit cause it def wasnt very fun 2 ride
