Not really a cruise... more of an "event"

[Amaru]

Hey all

Well the 2005 snow season is fast approaching, with Tassie turning white and the snow making its way up here over the weekend :headspin:

Im pretty damn keen for the snow, either skiing or boarding, and was wondering if there would be any interest in going up for a couple of days by anyone here?

Plan maybe something like head up mid week, ski/board, drink copious amounts of alcohol and party on till early hours of the morning (snow bunnies included).

If anyone is even mildly interested, raise your hand and we can work something out.

[Terminal]

I'll be interested, but work will restrict me to the weekend. i want to test out the 'snow' button on my stagea this year, that's what these beasts were desgined for.

But a snow trip has been on my cards for a while now, i haven't been the last few years due to uni being a bitch and the snow being expensive.

Do the Australian thing... pull a sickie

Thats cool, thats the kinda feedback I was after... weekend is definately not out of the question

[race_snooze]

[leech_]

yea i am in for sure what about accomdation anyone got any friends that will give us a room i got a 4wd which i could take and couple of people 1 - 2 + all our gear

[Amaru]

I know a place in Jindabyne that I can get pretty good rates at, sleeps up to 4 in a room, tv/shower/heater etc, also has common games room, bar, and about a 5 minute walk to the main two areas of jindabyne (nuggets crossing and the other one) where the bars/clubs are.

Ill leave it open for a show of interest for now, then in a week or so maybe start organising something if people are interested

Thats pretty much why im posting here Everyone says "yep yep ill come" then it gets closer to the start of the season and everyone starts pulling out.

So we've got 4 people interested so far... I might start looking into pricing, and post up some quick estimates.

:D:D

HELL YES !!!!

Thats looking much better Then no-one has to worry about driving up as well.

[SkyGTRline]

im sure someone can find a better price somewhere... but i have know idea where to look.

[Amaru]

Sounds good, Ill look into a few other companies and see whats on offer. After individually pricing things, it looks like a tour is the way to go to keep costs down.

So far we have interest from:

Nik (Amaru)

Andrew (SkyGTRline)

Andrew (Terminal)

Shaun (race_snooze)

Anthony (oscar32)

Leigh (leech_)

Cassi (skyline_babe5)

[SkyGTRline]

Love that first one!

:ddd: :alcoholic :alcoholic :ddd: :throwup: :coffee:

they are taking shots right?

[GM_GTR]

would love to go this year but it really depends on the date, Ive already got some gear so all I need is the lift pass...I'll most likely be taking the gtr... don't laugh at my roof racks..lol

[Amaru]

I took the gtr up last year and never again after some of the bridges between cooma and jindabyne were -badly- iced over and it almost resulted in a severely bent gtr :Oops:

[GM_GTR]

yeah..it was bad last year, we were sliding all over the place in my friends landcruiser, a bit after jindabyne there was also a car on it's roof, looked like a mirage

[NJR 34GTT]

I'm in depending on date. Been snowboarding for years and would be nice to go with someone else other than the old man.
