MOUNT FUCKIN HOTHAM.... let me tell you bout last years trip to mount hotham..

lost phone off tap within 30mins of being there..didnt evan hit the slopes due to nearly breaking my ankle in the room TRYING TO RAIL THE BLOODY STAIRS!!! 052_withstupid.gif
total cost for the trip including the earlyflight home after a 6 hour bus ride to melbourne(cause mates stayed with car) roughly 2000 bucks!!!!

IF YOU GO HERES A TIP!!!

make tabogans out of wheely bins we cut up 3 (not ours)

then at the highest set of lodges you walk out the back(behind the pool and spa room)
walk up that great fuckin big hill and go for gold..(takes bout 20 mins to walk up)

Yeah about 4 years ago when I went up, I decided to board for the first time. I was on the board for all of five minutes and broke my wrist. That was the end of boarding for me for ever. Strapped my wrist up and skied for the rest of the week in pain. I only found out it was broken when I got back to Adelaide and it was still sore so I went to the doctors and had X-rays taken.

Now thats hardcore!!!

haha, that was similar to my old man - he went up to mt buller a couple of years ago (as his last snow trip) - skied down once and on the second run down, fell over and broke his collar bone - he was devastated 002_sad.gif

havent broke anything skiing/boarding but have sprained my neck, shoulder (its still fucked and only have 80% movement), knee and a host of other things - the funny thing is that ive done most of the damage attempting the 'photo shots' ie getting as much air as possible for the camera. oh well at least the photos came out well 003_wink.gif

I don't think you can ski at Mt Theb anymore, they closed the snow hill/mound/pimple/ice cube tray. Too costly.

I'm off to Canberra (Smiggins/Blue Cow/Persiher) this season, can't wait. My board an I are already itching to go........

Yeah, Ted's right: no more 45 degree angled skating rink for Adelaide. The freon that was used to keep it frozen was leaking and costing way to much & was closed.

No more ice skiing for Adelaide 062_goaway.gif

as my father runs the ice arena i will confirm that the ski slope will never be coming back! the maintainence with the freon was a problem but that was not the problem!!!!

the $100k plus a year public liability insurance bill was what did the damage!!! the american way of sue sue sue has fucked everything fun for us once again!!

a few people got hurt and the place wasnt insured a year or 2 ago and the government shut it down and said they couldnt reopen it without insurance. hence it being no longer!!! 002_sad.gif

the ice skating is still going strong. now that the place has been sold and the lease to the ice sports association with the government grant has been finalised my father has his hands free. to help revitalize the center and advertise. the place is on its way back so if you have some spare time go ice skating and help support the only ice sports center we have!! 003_wink.gif

paul hamon and i were talking about that. its possible to get the all ages fresh fm parties we had going there around the same time as the freshnups at heaven 99/00 going again. used to pack the place and had flash & remedy playing there. fresh even broadcasted live there once.

as for a actual club/rave event it wouldnt be possible due to neighbours who complained about the sound late at night when we had those fresh nights! 002_sad.gif

if only it was in the city we could have a rave there!!! 002_sad.gif cause its the perfect venue!!! ive seen it done in canada where the ice was covered up and the arena was used for a rave! lasers and all looked fuckin sick!!! 058_teehee.gif

Is it true that Hungry George bought the Mount?

Also you should offer your contacts as an ability to organise a rave/dance party their, ie Ravers on Ice, with a DJ good line-up it could give some much needed revenue injections

the greek guy that owns all the chicken chefs bought it forgotten his name i just call him MR.T! if he also owns the hungry george than yes but i didnt know that.

well paul and i were there looking around and talking about what we could do event wise. i dont think we could do anything rave like there. we are more targeting the commercial crowd! ultimately id like to organise a all ages night promoted by fresh. if it was financially worth while hire a small setup from nova tech and have a few guys like jayse,kontrol or souli to play there.

the centre has its commitments during the day and wouldnt be possible.

like i said bellow we'd just have to organise a small show around the 7pm-11pmish time!
i know it aint much but thats all i have to work with.

any later the neighbours will call the cops as theyve done it before and if you drive down the side streets next to the place you will see the houses are smack bang behind the back wall. only metres away.

What would be the point of having it at the ice arena if the ice was covered? It would just be like having a rave in a hall only it would be fucking freezing cold. 035_blink.gif

23 cm at hotham in the last 48 hrs and 20cm at falls creek. They are hoping by the end of the weekend that all lifts will be up and running at hotham and the majority of lifts will be open at falls creek. The out look for snow next week is very good as there is another big front expected to come through and produce a large amont of falls.

This is Matt_1 with the snow report for Rave Adelaide.

Wow they got snow in Victoria.

Now it is forecast to rain this week.

Dont wate your money in Australia. You are kidding yourself if you think it is value skiing in Australia.

At least go to NZ

If you want to start an argument with turntablists, there's 2 ways to do it:

1. Say Vestax PDX or Numark TTX are better than Technics

2. State that vinyl is dead and CD's are the way forward.

The first one will continue to go on for years and never be answered. The second however, is open for discussion.
