Just announced Perisher, Australian's largest ski resort is set to be purchased by Vail in July.

Is this a good thing?
What changes will it bring?

Its only a matter of time before they own all of the snow in the world. And have it patrolled with yellow jackets.

Have you heard about Vail's "cloud seeding"? The funny thing is that this may already be more true then you realize.

New World Order confirmed


Tbh, I haven't skied in Perisher in ages, Thredbo is my home mtn. as my school chooses it to have all their races.

Hopefully, they put more emphasis join the parks as they are really good apparently.

Might shred Perisher later this year hopefully with my homies.

perisher was naturally top of their acquisitions list

That will be the day when we must rise up, my brothers (and sisters), and meet the yellow jackets on the field of battle.

But actually if that happens I will skin into mid mountain and make burning bags of poo rain down upon thy yellow jackets(/claim)

The referenced post has been removed.

Once there's no competition left, why would they keep offering the epic pass?

also i will be running the saga scavenger hunt this season. I did it at the end of last season but it didnt really work as i was receiving packages days after i was supposed to put them out. ive kept all the gear theyve sent me over the summer, and i will be dropping it around jindy and perisher parks at the start of this season.

Are you saying Vail cloud seeding is a conspiracy? Because it is definitely a real 100% confirmed fact. How much it helps is up for debate but they DO try cloud seeding.

Australian resorts, particularly the NSW ones, have been cloud seeding for years. Somewhere between 10-20% increased snowfall on average.
