Great!!!....another dedicated snow-buff. Nice to meet you, Damien.

Do you ski or snowboard?....or both?


Ski. I tried snowboarding in 2004 at Hotham (bloody awesome snow) only
because I got shin splints and couldn't ski. Snowboarding looks like fun
but my time at the snow is too precious to spend alternating between my
face and arse buried in the snow

I live in Perth - it's a plane fare for me, there's no way I'm driving 40
hours for anything! I can't wait to get back to Melb.


Fair enough....and the way the snow season went this year, the snow would have
melted by the time you got there.....hahaha.


I was lucky enough to be at Falls in the first week of August - the only
week that was even half decent - so I'm pretty happy about that. Whistler
in January 07 - oooo yeah.

Now you are talking!!!!....I am hoping to go to Japan next January for snowboarding.
I own 8 boards 'cause I share with other people and I can use the best one to suit
respective snow conditions and landscape.

Just out of curiosity: will you take all eight boards to Japan?

That sounds like an expensive excess baggage bill. :-/

Although if you fly to/from/via North America, you get to take two bags
in econ. class, not the normal one.

hmmm.....nah.

I'll probably take just my wide MadHouse board seeing as it seems to "float" in
power snow - but it's not so good in tight corners. I love the Santa Cruz board
as well.

How did it like the grass and the rocks in Australia's winter this year?

Well, we do know what happened to that ****, Scott Abraham. "Two Holes"
is still chasing his own fat ass on RSA. Ya know if you had put all
that time to good use, you could have had that job you always dreamed
of (and were qualified for) - like head usher at the local movie
theater or bus boy at Taco Bell.
