Just entered too - but no where near intermediate red face but can only try. Blizzard_22 - if you win, no way Torah would say, you’re not good enough to ride with me? i reckon shes just too nice!

I would reckon that would be the case, but I think Perisher would probably filter out people who aren’t at that level… unfortunately…

They should encourage everyone to enter, imagine getting a lesson with Torah Bright!!! I reckon I would be intermediate by the end of the day!!!

no problemo…..

I doubt she will ride the park or anything during those 4hrs anyway. so it shouldn’t matter that much, as long as you can get up and down lifts I reckon. Its not like they were very specific about what intermediate means…..my friend just said hey im intermediate ( he throws double corked 7s) and i fell of my chair laughing…...cause I thought I was intermediate and throw corks from wine bottles only (thats a dad joke for sure, im not going to self edit though).


I don’t think I can enter seeing that im injured, maybe I can and if i win say oh i got injured can someone take my place?

I can easily turn, control speed, get on and off lifts etc but I don’t ride blue runs. Im scared of steep runs and am not confident to go fast!
