Jumping the gun? Who, me?

Paid a deposit yesterday for a booking at the NRMA caravan park, 31 July to 31 August. Can cancel up to the end of June.

Yes I was thinking about Island Bend, but caravanning isn't something I've done before, let alone going off-grid. Small steps. I'll sort packing and routines on a powered site before adding in charging and using batteries.

Plenty of time to change my mind though.

I’ll be there, mostly mid week trips camping at Island Bend. Hope to do more than the 19 days I got in this year.

Nothing really to plan at this stage besides having paid $49 of my 2022 Epic pass Australia. Although I do need to buy a new pair of skis before the season starts.

Northern Beaches, Sydney,
As mentioned elsewhere, I didn't get into school for next year, so have a year off.
Im planning to be there from Opening day until closing day, in what form yet I am not sure.

If I can manage not working, then I would prefer that but I am thinking of doing Ski patrol of Ski school.
Ski patrol looks great for applications for 2023 so will be actively investigating that. Good chance my skills arent up to par though so we will see.

May be something else in the pipeline as well. Will see how the rest of this year pans out.

Have my new boots sitting here from January 2020 still waiting to be used. Will need new skis too. Im just keen to get back to the mountains

Power off grid shouldn’t be too much of a problem in your new rig but easy access to a hot shower whenever you want will be lux!

I plan on being there for the duration, whatever that may be. I may still take the July school holidays off, but will wait and see. I did that this year, and it didn't work out too well for me ;)

I actually really enjoyed parts of the lockdown in Jindy this year, made me do other things apart from resort skiing, and gave me a better appreciation of what else is on offer apart from skiing in winter:) (Obviously there were other parts of lockdown that were not so nice). So even though I plan to be available for the whole season, I may well take breaks away from the lifts to do other stuff, depending on how things are panning out.

I am really looking forward to catching up with everyone who I missed this year. @Jasper Schwarz really stoked you are going to do the season:D

I missed that, and I'm sorry to hear that. Still, it sounds like you've got some solid plans to make lemonade. :thumbs:

My daughter prepped solidly from last Christmas and scored well into the top 10%. She's pretty confident of getting an interview.

The downside for her is that she's the one of my kids who enjoys skiing. She probably won't get the chance to go again for another 5 years or so.

Given I will graduated by the end of this year, I had the choice to do post-graduate medicine via the GAMSAT, or could try and get into another undergrduate doube degree at newcastle or UNSW. Ideally, I would like to stay at Sydney with the lectureres who have been teaching me the last 3 years, and is close to home, but didn't want it to limit my options.

In the end, I decided to have a crack at both and came out with neither. That's ok. A lot of people don't get in on the first go.

Will be going very hard for the GAMSAT in March. Will see how we go. If not, will be around for 2023 as well XD

Maybe do some volly patrolling at a surf beach in the summer? Fun to do, provides a good service, and looks good on the resume for your winter ideas...

Not working the winter is also a great idea! ;)

KICKASS Portable 12V Camping Shower with Lithium Battery​

We have one of these! Easy to charge, heat water on camp fire and away you go. We ditched the gas water heater for this. Takes up very little room in the camper and was bliss in the outback.

4 weeks only next year as I need to be back for the second semester for my studies, I only wish the 4 week break was in August:)

I probably need to get a wriggle on booking accommodation for myself and the young tyke for next year.

I just have to take a punt on where to go out of Hotham, Falls and Perisher. He'll be 6 years old next year and looking to snowboard again, but I just need to figure out if Hotham or Falls will do lessons at his age this year.

Suggest you ring the park and find out if they have tie-down chains? If not, take star pickets and a sledgie, but please ask the park where the services are underground before hammering in? This may encourage them to allocate you to a site that does have tie-down chains or anchor points. An A-Van split during a blow at Island Bend this season!
