Echo the kudos to the whole team at Perisher. The mountain(s) were immaculate every trip I did this season, the lifties were great - especially with the kids, and the customer service people were spot on too.

I did the drive back to Sydney from Jindabyne today. It was good to have a few hours of "think time", reflecting on the season that was.
We were very fortunate that snow arrived to allow an early start to the season, it seemed to turn up whenever we needed it to during the season, the base was deep and cold and it held together long enough to allow the season to be extended.
The natural events alone wouldn't have produced such a sensational season without the Perisher Team working their butts off to make the most of every opportunity to increase the enjoyment factor for all.
While most of us get a bit twitchy when lifts don't open on time or stuff is on "demand", I felt that Perisher were quite determined to "over deliver" this season and I reckon they did just that. The decisions made about early open/ season extension were pretty impressive.
136 days open, 31st May to Mid-October, 4 Resort areas open for QBLW, open later than ever before, still skiing from FV to MtP on the 13th October, amazing stuff ( backed up by a pretty incredible grooming performance and a very determined ops crew keeping the mechanical stuff functioning).
The majority of the Lifties were good fun, the ticket checkers were all first rate!
On a personal level.....I had a terrific season.
No new injuries, dealt well with existing ailments, had 36 days off (and a whole lot of afternoons off), enjoyed the best of the conditions, had heaps of social interaction with fellow travellers, handed the baton to (a reluctant hero but still the most worthy Dashboard Leader :thumbs:).
Season 2019 will be hard to beat in the "Best Season Ever" stakes.
I'll be Happy to Share 2020 with you all!

Staffies??? Going up the V8 without skis or boards on feet, rather in hand - guess that means there's no snow at the bottom carpet???

Managed to ski on 90 of a possible 136 days. This means I missed 46 days for various reasons including choosing not to head up the hill. Obviously could not ski in resort today which caused me to feel a significant loss because I could no longer choose to ski or not. Nevertheless it was good to have a little sleep in and then prepare our garden beds for tomato planting. Mowing the lawn was not so much fun but was good exercise. With a bit of luck, see you all on the hill in season 2020.

Awesome reports all year Steve; very much appreciated. It was a pleasure sharing a lift or two with you and the other regulars. I can't see any reason why we can't all do it again next year! Have a pleasant summer (spring was cancelled up this way)?

I’m leaving Jindy tomorrow:(. It’s been a fantastic season and I’ve had a great time. I achieved my season objective of 100 days, with a few to spare, thanks to the season extensions. Thats a record for me by quite some way. Not sure I want to do quite as much next year, but when you get a good season, you have to make the most of it;) Thanks to everyone I’ve skiied with or shared a lift with this year. Thanks to all the Perisher staff for all the hard work during the season to give us something good to play on :thumbs: Look forward to doing it all again next year;)
In the absence of skiing, I went for a bike ride this morning. I took a few pics from around the resort. The snow is certainly going fast:(
Here are a few pics
Eyre t-bar, melt holes and running water galore

In that case a very providential camera failure. There are some things I am very sure I do not need to see.
