ok it's nearing that time of year when the Souht of Australia begins to open the mountains to skiing (June - Julyish), just wondering who is coming down to Australia for a lovely winter.

I myself will be at perisher from the 20th september to the 27 september and trying to get better at skiing...it'll be cooler becasue it's a school snow trip and i get to watch half my friends who have never seen the snow and believe snowboarding is cooler and easier fall flat on there arses :D

Anyway just wondering who is gearing up for the season down here.

btw if anyone lives in the brisbane area Snowcentral at 7 Dallas Parade, Keperra, is having a sale this weekend, so gear will be marked down from like 20% - 50% off

I'd love to go to the school in Jindy, the ski instructor we got put with last year had a son that went there and they get like fridays off jsut to go skiing...lucky buggers

Can't wait till September, gonna get a lot better in the park...


Uh Australia has pretty nice parks...well from how i view them anyway, i think there's 4 Parks at perisher, 1 being a beginner, the rest more advanced and a half pipe. I liked the ones Perisher had last year though :)

I wouldnt hire from perisher.....DOnt think they have demo twinnies.

Look up rhythm sports in cooma..... its like 45mins to and hour away from jindy (depending on how fast u drive) Phone them up like a week in advance and book a set.. they will rent you any twin tip you ask that they carry in there retail section, like suspects or pipe cleaners..... look on there site www.rhythm.net.au. Last time i used them was the 06 season since then ive had my own skis... but it was cheap.

As for the season il be down there multiple times. prob twice in august and once in september. Il be on my pipe cleaners unless it snows a shitload when il be out somewhere on my jj's lol. prob over the back of the summit chair or out over the back of mt perisher.
