Interesting…

4’ smaller… not sure how I feel about that.
The pipe is a big drawcard for Perisher, I especially like that it opens early each day. Hopefully I’ll get a few runs through it this year.
How big is it usually?
I heard a few mixed stories last night.
Some saying itll be 22ft, others saying itll be 13ft and someone else saying there’ll be two pipes..

this is not gonna happen this year!
Great edit by Tom Hannam…
They might mean this pipe (18ft on perishers facebook) - last year it was 22ft which is Olympic standard.. (maybe why it was that big? Being the winter olympics and all?) and they also had ,10/12ft (or something like that) mini pipe under mid at yabby flatts… which they could easily remake considering we have had WAAAAY more snow this season.. They had Olympic open on my last week down there.. That same week last year we spent a day the the distillery because it was raining sideways and only enough snow for 3 t bars on front and center valley to be opened. so not worth the trip up the hill…
Oh yeah forgot about Yabbie flats “pipe”
I was thinking Matty was hearing rumours about the super super pipe!
h0z the pipe has been 22ft for years I am pretty sure… so it is strange that they had dropped it this year.
Fair enough.. I was only game enough to try it last year! Haha
I never really see anyone riding it. Probably because there’s only a narrow window each day (<1 hr) when it’s not one side melty melty and the other icey icey.
When you up next AJ? Pretty keen for a few runs with you.
Also, anyone looking for cheap accom, our weekends are booked out till late August, mid week should still be fine.
^ two solid weeks starting Sunday! I’ll see you then.
Yeh the pipe is under way, but it’s only 18ft.
Will still give it a crack in that small window each day it’s usual both sides, mike and I were giving it a fair nudge end of last season. Was hella fun.
Damn I love the pipe, great place to warm up for the day IMO and a fun place to end on the slushy frontside wall for me! My understanding is that ut has only ever been 18ft in FV?
