What skis should Dan get?

Ok, so I'm thinking that it is finally time to add another set of skis or two to my collection. Current thoughts are that the next two sets of skis to get should be:

1. A fat, floaty, big mountain ski of sorts. Something that will work quite nicely in the deeper snow over in NZ, or going down the chutes at club lake. Current suggestions around this are something like a Dynastar Legend XXL or something from the Kingswood range.
2. A twin tippy ski that's suitable for general mucking around in the park and pipe, possibly something that's fairly comfortable going sideways at speed.

So, what do you guys think?

New Toy for the Gear Freaks out there

For those of you interested in purchasing a new pair of skis here is a PDF with flexes for a whole bunch of freeride and jib skis. Clicky

Enjoy.

Hi, Testing the Blog

Hi All,
t'was an icy blast indeed last night up here at the lee of the hills (well tuggeranong at least)

I should be able to come down for a few turns this weekend.

Yay ,.....let it snow oh mighty huey.

It sure is snowing!

On the drive into canberra the smorning it was snowing proper on the Kalkite turn off. Very cool! I think there will have to be some turns made this weekend. Anyone up for it? Also can every one see the snow cam pics? I can see them at home but not on the uni computers.

Avy Giraffe

In case of avalaches always take your high visability Avy Giraffe backcountry skiing!

Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, how are you?

Thank you, thank you, I am fine and I hope that you are to!

Opening weekend and Ceremonial Suprise Pea Sacrifice to Hughie!

The long weekend is just around the corner. Time to put this blog to use and to start organising. If your coming down please comment and we can get orginised. Last year Hydrophilica and myself sacrificed Suprise Peas to Hughie without any ceremony. We think that was the reason for the poor season last year, Hughie was insulted as we failed to honour him properly. To ensure that doesn't happen again we must come up with a suitable ceremony.

I suggest we need an appropriate dress, Gore-Tex and ski boots. I think we will need Tony's Avy Giraffe and everyone will need to bring a packet of Suprise Peas.

For the Heretics among you I will post again later to explain.

Time to Start Organising

I would type something interesting but I'm just getting this bastard up and running while I procrastinate!

Here is a nice picture in the meantime.
