Any Aussies have any stories from opening weekend? We're lacking sHnow but I hear we're up for some white stuff by the end of the week.. No sHnow opening weekend the Night life must have been a lil hectic......

so they have the village 8 open, a t-bar and a carpet open on front valley.

Perisher Blue Snow Reports by The Wang he does updates a couple of times a week about the falls and stuff at perisher.

I wish I lived closer to the montains, then I could get up there more often. Hopefully there is some good early dumps this season.

Well if you really want to be jealous Portillo has already received over 172 inches this season. It's puking in that region of South America.

just got back from a weekend down in Perisher - lucky for me we had a massive dump of snow on Thurs night so the weekend was awesome!
i FINALLY got to test out my board (and the paint has not cracked so far so im stoked!!) it got a bit windy on sunday and heaps of lifts got put on wind hold but perisher side was good

hopefully i get to go back down in a couple weekends!!
