TJ OZ 0 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Australian resorts can be fun also. Maybe a road trip checking out Perisher and Thredbo in NSW basing yourself in Jindabyne and Falls Creek, Mt Hotham and Mt Buller in Victoria. Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 yeah, don't come to OZ just for the snow, you might be disappointed. Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 Snotrag, I believe there is an area in Ishikawa, Japan that you can ski from July, infact it only opens from June or July until about October because before and after these times there is too much snow to be accessable. Not sure where I read that, but definitaly read that somewhere in one of the ski mags. Don't know if it's any good and if anyone else has been there. I believe it's in Ishikawa, but could be wrong, although it's certainly in that part of Japan, they get 18 metres of snow. Anyone know where I am talking about? Or anyone heard about this?
