New Terrain is Open

Went up for a ski this morning, sadly without my camera. All of front valley is skiable,.... just, there is still some grass sticking out of the snow here and there, but it has made a lot more room on the slopes for the first two hours of the day.

The snow making was still going when we left at 10:30. Hopefully with a nice cold night they will be able to get all of Front Valley groomed for tomorrow morning. If we are lucky the quad could be open at mid station on Sunday.

Hydrophylica and I had a ball since we could finally let the skis run with a bit of room on the hill.

New terrain open!!!!!

Wow, due to amazing conditions, PB have been able to open two lifts over at Blue Cow (early starter and pony ride- that's right, ride that pony)

Well at least it means that there's a little more variety.....

I'm ready for the season!

Well I've just finished my final piece of assesment for the semester, now I can enjoy the snow! If we only get some snow.

Opening Weekend Report

This years opening weekend was pretty quiet, only Sid and Hermi came down. But Graham (Nick to be decided) also participated in Opening Apeasement. Sid and Hermi got turns on Sat and Sun, Hydrophylica and I joined them on Sunday morning.

Front Valey only had the Magic Carpet and Mitchel T open to tower 3. So not much snow but for first turns of the season a deceptively large amount of fun.

The big news of the weekend though is the bargains at the ski swap. Hermi got a beanie and some shell pants, I bought a pair of Armada Pipe cleaners for DM (right), but Marvin and I got the cool scores. Marvin got a pair of 203cm Fischer RC4 DH womens downhill skis for $25 (centre) and I got a pair of 207 Elan SGX Super Giant Slalom Skis for $25 too! Both Marivn and I are very afraid of our new skis, but it will be fun!

Another New Snowcam

PB Have Just put up a Guthega Snowcam. Hopefully it will have good views of Twynam to give us an idea of main range conditions. We'll have to wait untill the weather fines up first.
