Yep..... just saw it on the evening news! much of sydney (and southern parts of the state) was covered by up to 6 inches of hail in storms over the past day. so naturaly - out came the boards. -
Driving fast, being a hero, hit a tree
Lama replied to damian's topic in General off-topic discussions
Hmmmm airbags werent deployed... warranty work/litigation for sure. but seriously... note the tacho still sitting on 2000rpm & the speedo still on around 100km/ph.. is that some kind of black box/tell tale tool audi put in their vehicles?? or is the little A3 still in shock?? -

Australia season
Lama replied to veronica's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
Yeah i jusst spent 3 days, 1 @ perisher - no snow that day, & 2 @ thredbo) where we had - by Oz standards a 30cm dump in total. which filled in quite a few lines and tree runs tht i've rarely ridden. all in all a pretty productive weekend. it was nearly worth the copious amounts of cash you have to shell out for a weekend @ the snow here in Oz. our season has been pretty good here so far.... -
Mogski - must say.... very jelouse.. i was there in Melbourne yesterday and only had general entry - would have killed for pit/corporate pass like i've had previously at similar events. hob-nobbing with the rich and famous oh and the ladies would have been great. so if the Bahrain thing pulls off - then make the most of it!! must say though yes it was a pretty boring race with schuey leading from beginning to end. hope the rest of the season heats up a little!!

Niseko Roll Call!
Lama replied to mogski's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
gee thats strange they havnt got back to you!?? you maybe want to try resending to them... tell 'em to pull their finger out!! nah dont think they do flights but that is no drama.... all you have to do is go to the travel agent and sort that... then get the train/bus (which they - NPC - usualy book for you) then the rest is just powder and late nights drinking a little tip for flights is to go to/call "smile city travel" in the city (syd)- they specialise in flights to JAP/KOREA and get a price.... i have found these guys to be super cheap no matter the airline, then get flig -

Lama replied to mogski's topic in Snow talk, trip reports, Japan avalanche & backcountry
yeah I have always booked with NPC... they seem to be super knowledgable, friendly and a good bunch of guys that out to have heaps of laughs!! plus their chalet is just that bit closer to the lifts, so it makes the early morning trek a little easier carrying a hangover from the debuachurous chalet parties!! yeah it seems strange that snowaves prices always rise with the yen getting cheaper to buy with the ozzie dollar?? hmmmm just wish i was theaing there this season.... sorry mogs... i'd go with ya if i could -
