Haha wow I really need to snap out of the Japan snow mindset.

When I first read 3m I was like WTF!?! (after reading Japan season summaries of ~15m)

But now that I’m looking into it for Australia I’ll take it. Last season was decent enough to allow for plenty of trips so similar or better sounds good to me! Still take all these long range forecasts with a grain of salt.

As someone who is 7 months pregnant and living in QLD for two years (and this will be the first time in 18 years I havent made it down) it is slightly depressing. Perhaps I should move myself to the devo thread lol.

No point paying attention to any long range “forecast”

In other news Thredbo have come out with the cheapest day ticket (apparently, anyone know how my Ben Lomond or Selwyn are?)

Must purchase before midnight the day before you ride.

Around this time last year.. Grasshopper predicted that we would hit a 2m base in August.. And we did.. If I was to believe any one on predicting weather, its him.. He will honestly say if it will be shit or not.. (I’ve seem him do this before..) and he constantly updates as changes come through! 

I know it’s early.. And 3m is not guaranteed, but it is shaping up to be a very decent season none the less..

and nothing can take away the excitement I’m experiencing right now!!
