I get my first ski of the season on Friday and looking at the forecast,they might be able to open a few more lifts on Sunday or Monday ??? as long as it does not warm up to much.
At least for once I will have to stay and ski with the wife,all day.
Or maybe enjoy a few beers in Jax Bar.

Just had my first turns of the season at Perisher. It wasn’t great, I only lasted two runs. On a positive note they are pumping out the snow and it looks like goats gully may be a chance for the weekend.

Hey guys im staying @ Thredbo wed thurs and Friday night but might ski perisher front valley for those days if The Cruiser isn't open by Thursday.

Just wondering does Perisher have any new terrain that could be opening imminently with a night of good snowmaking as is the situation currently with The Cruiser at Thredbo?

Thanks!

No you can't blame us.
But you can thank us if the season becomes a bumper one!

Not tomorrow after all. Nor Friday. It'll be good on the 13th I'm hoping, seeing as we are staying on the slopes the few days before.
17/6/13 - 6:39pm
That's what I want to hear! First time i'm going in 3 weeks!

13th is normally fine, from past experience. I normally go that time, and bar 06, most of the mountain is normally open.
Also, welcome to the forums!

Do you guys reckon Mt P and the other snowmaking areas will be open by the start of July? I have one of my weeks down there then and I am not sure I can manage just front valley.
Hacski
13/6/13 - 2:45pm
Mmm. Maybe Tuesday might be a possibility.
Hacski
13/6/13 - 12:17pm
Yep. I'm glad I have been so busy at work I just couldn't see how I could come back to four days a week but have stacks of flex if/when there is snow to go the next day.

First definite day slotted in: July 12th. It will be after two days at Thredbo as MrsH has treated the three of us and a friend's daughter to a pretty good midweek two night B&B package at the TAH, including two days of lift passes each. Having the Freedom Pass I voted for the final day to be at PB.

I've seen skiers hiking up to Olympic (carrying skis) in July but never up Mt P.
27/5/13 - 9:32pm
I was going to head down but the weather held out up here so my brother and I did the coast track. Looks like you had a good time bullet!

OOPS, sorry.

Anyway the misses and i were in the mountains on the weekend, we camped at island bend, saturday we practiced with the new splitboards on front valey.

We were going to have a look out the back of charlottes but the snow was too hard.

Then sunday we skinned up Mt P under the double chair nearly to the top(there was a 20m bare patch up there so cut us short) and had a run down on less then ideal snow, with the high daytime temps and low overnight temps its gettin pretty hard, even around lunch when we went up it was still firm.
Had an interesting time learning how to skinn properly in the steeper bits of mt P.

Anyway heres some pics.

Looking back at Front valley

Us at the top with our new gear. I have K2 Panoramic, Mrs has Prior Brandywine.

Track down


I even got out the fishing rod out as there was some trout in the stream that runs under the double chair but i spooked them as i snuck up.
Hopefully the snow sticks around before we get some more because one more half decent fall will cover a lot.

Thanks Bob, hey minipowpow, if i park at charlottes, do you go down the walk track and hop across the rocks at spencers creek to get up there?
Cheers

Hey Bullet, shouldn't be a problem. The road is still open so you can drive all the way to CP and get access to the main range.

park at guthega and trek across the bridge, there is heaps of terrain there you can use without having to worry about getting told to leave.

Hi Everyone, im prob going to be in around the mountains(jindy) this w'end and was thinking of throwing in the new splitboard for a play around perisher etc.
Does anyone think it would be an issue in and around peirsher with management etc??

I dont know how much natural cover there will be by the weekend if temps are getting up through the day, and was thinking if worse came to worse of testing out the new skins ets on front valley.
