Will be in CP the week of the 20th July, with an AT setup. I will have the family in tow with a 3yo and a 6 month old, so excursion time will be limited. Keen to hook up with anybody else looking to explore.

Now that I got some softies, I might have to hook up with few folk with some B/C experience, and rent a splitboard. Always wanted to, just never got around to it.

No... got the hardbooter reference (was raised a few weeks ago in another thread).

As much as I love Thredbo, when you've skied a few iconic places you start to realise that our steep pitches with at most a 50m vertical and an easy run out is just not in the same league. The closest to a seriously challenging resort based run would be the chutes at Buller. But realistically they would only get enough snow to make them skiable once every 3-5 years.

On the other hand, the Main Range is easily accessible from CP and the Western Faces would have skiing to challenge the most jaded slider. You’ve just got to get out there and out of there under your own steam. And if that is a bit hard, then for a warm up there are plenty of easier options around CP such as Guthries cutes and Foxhole.

Angus,

It might have been a bit of an in joke smile I have been riding a snowboard in hard boots for about 20 years or so. A split board seems like it could be fun too.

So much to do so little time.

My daughter is pretty cool, she got sick of waiting for a bunch of "oldies" as she called them last year at Michaels Mistake and just skied around them and off the edge. She doesn't mind a bit of steep smile

Nidecker, get yourself a splitboard, get your daughter some AT gear and she will find out CP can't be beaten for some slack country sliding. Plus she can earn bragging rights (as well as earing turns) about skiing stuff way gnarlier than anything inbounds.

Hope coffee is good.Hope you will be 1st to report.


As I have a season pass again I will definitely be trying to get there as much as poss

So you buy your coffee and ski away, where does the empty container go unless its edible and then at my age 15 minutes later will need a pit stop, it might work who knows

Cheers

Heard a rumour about a relocatable one, but would need good coffee to effect existing one(s) along with ambiance

Season pass deal is back on sale for all of November. Guess they didn't make their numbers - I wonder if Perisher did.

Other issue is where would it go to open up signifcantly more skiable area? Stillwell is too exposed to lift (wind hold) and most of the bowl and trees below Stillwell can already be accessed from the existing chair and minimal hiking.

Could only see its use as a replacement for Guthries.

And like most places at Charlottes, the real gems are not lifted but require a little effort; and if you did lift them (eg Guthries cutes and Foxhole) then they would just end up getting trashed and then people would want them groomed........

I can confirm that there has been a rumour about this lift for a couple of years..........


The lift was at the aerodrome a couple of years ago, but it's not there (or in the same place ) as it was, one would assume you would try to keep at least the chairs out of the elements? No sure what SOP is in this case?

Whilst it would be a cool thing for them to do, I guess nothing will happen until the leasing is sorted out, as an owner you wouldn't want to be making too much money, or look too interested in the resort until you had finished those negotiations smile
