Did you ride boards from the collection that was at The Sundeck?

Nah. I found it to be much easier my way.

Perisher is still going to be high next season. I got my pass for Perisher even though there was a good chance of Thredbo having the Shred.

1. There is still a bunch of people with the season pass.
2. Non-BW friends have the season pass
3. Beginner Non-BW friends prefer Perisher over Thredbo due to the fact that there is more beginner terrain than Friday Flats / Merrits and it is not icey after 2pm.
4. It’s a larger mountain and therefore has more people prefer it.

Reasons Thredbo is better for the shred
1. Easier to get to, car parking situation and cheaper accom (on average)
2. Better parks. Lets face it, we spend a lot of shred time in the parks
3. Smaller mountain = easier to find people.

I wouldn’t mind thredbo not only for the points put forward by TJ but also ive been wanting to do a trip there but didn’t get around to it this season. The shred (if there) will give me a reason to not only go there but probably enjoy it more being with people who have ridden there more frequently that could share some sweet runs

I rode 2 different boards but found neither as fun as my current board. After I hurt myself, I went back to the scallywag for the last few days.

I’ll gladly act as tour guide for you, mate.

One thing my Perisher pass did this year, was make me realise how I much prefer Thredbo.

What he said x2.

Not that I didn’t enjoy perisher. And in saying that - For the time of year the shred is on (spring) Perisher is a better option.
The biggest win Perisher has for me is Pipe - dam I love pipe!

I want the shred to be held peak season and in Victoria.
