Nice, bring on First Tracks Sunday runs down excellerator!
I knew someone would make a joke about that!
In other news my parents left Jindy for a bali holiday 2 weeks ago.
They are heading back home now
Mum just texted me - even though I have been telling her that it has been snowing she felt the need to say.
“Just came out of Cooma and went over a hill and oh my god all we saw was heaps and heaps of snow high up on the mountains”
I like this “heaps and heaps of snow” business..
Haha she lives there and still gets excited!
H0z did you see the pic from the main range I posted in daily thread?

Skidoos can’t leave the resort. NP wont allow it. The only way to do BC is on foot or kite.
I don’t think Oz does much hiking - maybe DHG but that isn’t a real hike it’s more off piste.
I more meant in the resort Spaz. I wouldn’t want to go out BC right now anyways, you’d go straight the the “cover” such as it is right now in a lot of places.
Same thing going off the groomed areas in resort. There isn’t a base yet. No-one wants to ride on new/good equipment this time of year. ROCKHOPPERS
It’s all groomed runs only until late June/July.

Nope haven’t done much hiking - still haven’t done DHG!
I did Ramshead/Ramsgate? with SkijacSki a couple of years ago.
When I get new ski’s my current ones will be turned into a touring set up - really want to get backcountry!!
But in answer to your question.
No we wont be skidoo-ing
Spaz thats not true about taking the skidoo’s out of the resort. There are actually multiple levels of licences that Parks give out. Some people at Perisher are licensed to take the skidoo out of Perisher.
examples of people who may have that high a license - Police (subjected to the same rules as everyone else and must have the appropriate license), the Ambo’s and Snr Pro (and Voli) patrol have licenses to go out of the resort.
But only in cases of emergency. Same with helicopters landing out there.
It’s why we have no heliskiing or catskiing.
NP access for summer maintenance is very limited as well.
15 DAYS TILL THE SNOW!!
2 for oz, 22 for me!
It appears I’m that excited that it posted twice!! Haha
