Well its been AGES!!! since i last did a post, was way to busy living it up and partying.
Jack came up last tuesday, spent the day boarding with him. Was a pretty good day.
Ummmm, spent 6 hrs boarding on my day off on tuesday. Was great fun, spent an hour up the top of summit chair lift with the liftie building a couch and landing.. plus stairs =)
some more photo’s from the day, which i was sending to ppl to tease them =D
It rained all weekend which was really shit, Rail Jam was hectic as, 2nd guy came out and broke his arm in a few places cause it was way to icey so they closed it down =(…
Also the rain destroyed most of the snow which is gay, however their tipping snow wed-sat which will be awesome. The current forecast is for a blizzard on Wednesday with 25-35cm of snow expected >.<
Also got a new helmet =D hope you all like it.
Until next time, take care all and i miss you!!!!!
Day 1
by talwin on Jul.01, 2010, under Blogs, Snow Reports
Well I’m finally here, place is really quiet at the moment and my room mate is asleep so I’m out in the bar. Need to find out where everyone hangs out at night. And also make some friends…. LoL
The weather has been good though, it’s still snowing!!! So can’t wait to see how much will have fallen by morning as it doesn’t look like it will stop soon. And it’s absolutely freezing outside, must remember to wear a beanie when I go outside, else my ears will kill me. Also the place is a BIG walk away from the center of town… Not far, but it is all up hill =(.
Until next time peace out xxx

Well, it looks like the last lot of my pre-snow goods have arrived =).
Today marked me sitting my 2nd last uni exam for this degree, and i also received my Burton Ronin Cheetah jacket =D!!!!!!!!
As well as the jacket I also got a Camelback 3ltr hydration pack that also has a 25ltr/14ltr backpack.
Very happy with all the gear and can’t wait to finish my last exam tomorrow and start celebrating, then get my butt upto the snow!

Hey all,
Well this is going to be an interesting snow season. Just got the offer today to work at the Arlberg Hotel on mount Buller, will be making pizza’s for the whole season =). Told myself I wouldn’t work in hospitality again…. but its going to let me have an amazing winter, so its worth it.
Hopefully I’ll be joined by both Jack and Ramzey on the mountain, but I may get stuck up there by myself. So it will be an interesting experience. I’ll have to keep everyone posted with all the things that happen and what the weather is like through the whole season.
Until Next Time,
Shane
