Hey I am not from Australia but I was hoping if anyone in here was could they tell me some stuff about the mountain. I have some old friends who work down there and were saying they could get me a job at the hill. I am from Canada so I was wondering what type of shit they have at the hill. Is there anything? pipe rails, some steeps. I got no clue. anyhelp would be great. thanks

sacrifice, to some its just a word, to others it is a code, what matters is the colony, he is willing to live for the colony, fight for the colony, die for the colony.

 
i would say that overall it compares to the east, some parts of it are pretty good steeps and so on, comparitive to vermont/newengland, but not quite as good, the parks i cant say because they vary from year to year

What?
 
Yeah you never know about the parks because they never seem to be open. I reckon a lot of the resorts down here are pretty stingy, Falls Creek for example, I don't know how many times a day the lifts broke down last year. They didn't just break down for a minute but for half an hour at a time. No one knew how to fix them so you had to wait ages for maintenance! I heard they're cutting costs their and trying to promote Hotham because of its new airport and everything...

I assume you're talking about Blue Cow, part of Perisher.

Best park in Aust at the moment has to be Falls Creek. Snow is a little unreliable compared with northern hemisphere resorts and it doesn't get anywhere near as cold.

If you want a job at a hill, I reccommend Thredbo because it has the best night life without a doubt and it has the best terrain (it requires good snow though). It has 670m of vertical but it's base elevation is lower than most other resorts (ie: Perisher lies between 1700m and 2000m, Thredbo lies between 1300m and 2000m). So really even if the snow is crap you still get the same amount of 'good vertical', but when the snow is awesome it just kicks everywhere else. I would say it has one of the better lift systems as well.

It lacks on the park side of things until late July when they get around to cutting a pipe and setting up some alright rainbows and kickers (nothing gigantic though).

 
can i ask who comes from canada for a ski holiday??

for park why dont you just go up to blackcomb?
