Selwyn Snow Resort is the first Australian Snow Resort offering skiing and boarding for 2019! New Chum Chairlift is spinning, with FREE SKIING AND BOARDING on offer between now & Sunday 2nd June! Discounted Ski, Board & Clothing Hire is available, with Snowgums Cafe open for Food & Drink. The snow is A-MAY-ZING, so make sure you make the most of these early snowfalls!
@Sean Sunley , Do you happen to know anyone at Selwyn who can organise a snow report feed so we can publish Selwyn reports again?
Oh gods, this is hilariously bad. Going onto Google and searching for "Selwyn snow resort", "Selwyn snowfields" or simply "Selwyn snow" doesn't yield the actual resort website, at all. The closest result was https://www.selwynshop.com.au/, which appears to be rather out of date. Wikipedia gave me a link to the actual resort site, which has the announcement - http://www.selwynsnow.com.au/. Nothing on Facebook yet. When I went to the trail map page to check out this new lift that's open, I went straight for the link to "Download full size" for the trail map - and got a 404 error. I'd agree with Richard that the media side of Selwyn is lacklustre at best.
Ahhh, right - I didn't know that "Snow FM" was a thing, so I was very confused, wondered if you were trying to say "They make up for it on snow, fam (i.e. mate etc)."
Thats the way! dont bother with grooming and all that razzle, just open the chair lift already. Good on ya Selwyn
I remember in 1994 trying to get my stereo in Sydney to pick up Snow FM in Goulburn. SDS was strong as a teenager....
Perisher takes at every opportunity, Selwyn gives. I know who will get my family beginner dollar. But Perisher won't care while they're raking in the season pass dollar.
Honestly with all the snow report angst on Snow FM last year, this will be Kevin sticking it up Perisher. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is out of the goodness of their hearts.
I did see that, but I glossed over the actual "website" part of it in my results. What I was referring to was more these results:
‘Kevin’ needs a media plan and a working website if he’s going to have any sway with efforts to stick it up Perisher. @nezumi @Marty_McSly I too get bad results for searching Selwyn. I monitor it. It’s haphazard whether or not the ‘knowledge card’ appears or not. Otherwise top result is the shop. Plus the Selwyn site is full of old copy and broken detail. Has had no love for years.
Thanks, I didn't know what it was called. I don't regularly check the Selwyn site, but I have had a bit of interest this year after grabbing a couple of $39 lift tickets. I don't bookmark much, just use Google, and I don't recall having any trouble finding the site. Perhaps I've just been lucky. As to the content, I haven't looked at much outside the trail map.
There’s a bit of history there, Kevin owns Snow FM, Charlotte Pass, Cooma airport and now Selwyn. There were some digs on snow fm last year when Perisher declined to advertise. I’d say this is personal.
To be SEO technical I think it has a new name now as the mobile one is a variation of the first ‘knowledge’ card. So much jargon so little time.
Ahhh. It’s that Kevin. Nuff said. Any more on this from me will have to be via PM. I guess we can expect.... no improvement.
Well, that goes some way to explaining why both Charlotte Pass and Selwyn lift tickets are available on Groupon!
awww gawwd, Groupon. FFS. Shit all over your Brand integrity and sell dollars for 70c. Most businesses figured out what a bad deal these over hyped schemes were by 2010.
don't think so. was more aa case of the members / board decided not to re-new and walk away. he said thx very much. think he bought another smaller one there also , similar circumstances. it's where you go for lunch now with your day ticket deal. disclaimer. this advice to me from a member of another lodge so I'm not sure how many mouths etc it passed thru to get to him. getting off topic here a little
That seems hardly fair. I'm sure a few people on here would have offered $2 each for a lodge. Ungroomed at Selwyn would be lots of fun today. I nearly cried when I saw them grooming front valley at P.
Have you heard about the parking dude at Guthega that's getting angrier by the year about all the BC folk parking there? - Shout outs if you're on this forum
I actually know him . He's from down this way. So I call in up there for cuppa and a chat from time to time , usually when the weather is shit-full. I've spoken to him about it and it's not the bc crew , just the punters in general, and lack of common sense shown in their parking etiquette , or rather lack of. btw it's only 10 minute walk from the Nordic car-park back down the road (not the one on the bend bottom parachute).
yeah good driving / travelling music. throw in a bit of Steve Miller , Stones , Bowie , PK , Jack Johnson......
I skied 4 seasons at Selwyn in last five years. I thought prior to last year they were pretty reliable getting reports and social media updates done.
