The First Word WEATHER in the mountains throws up many winter and snow scenarios and after a while you tend to just roll with the punches. After all there is not much you can do to alter Mother Nature when she is in a certain mood.

With big snowfalls in late May and early June everyone was excited, especially when Selwyn Snowfields and Perisher opened in late May. Prior to the June long weekend the snow depth went within 2.5cm of beating the legendary 2000 season.

But Mother Nature has been known at times to be somewhat of an ‘Indian Giver’ where she gifts us generous snow and then decides to review that decision. It is all part of the ebbs and flows of a snow season.

After a cracking start and a super busy opening weekend, the weather gods went on strike for a few days and forgot to turn the temperature down allowing the mountains to donate snow back to the rivers.

As we write this in mid June the mountains are looking white, snow is

falling and the snow cycle starts again.

Changing weather is one of the beauties of the winter and certainly leads to lots of chatter in the street and slopes about what this season will bring.

The best answer which many of us abide by is to ask in October and we can tell you how the season went.

But in the meantime, all the weather watchers and gurus will eagerly awake each morning to see what snow has fallen, what new lifts are opening and how the mountains are transforming.

It’s July and that means school holidays which are almost certain to be booked out in all major resorts and accommodation establishments.

A family holiday in the snow is one of the best. The joy on kids’ faces as they play or slide on the snow and the interaction between siblings and parents as they ski or snowboard together certainly brings the family closer together.

Enjoy the snow this July and for the whole winter as it really is a wonderful time of year here in the Snowy Mountains.

Wildbrumby Road to Success The Wildbrumby Distillery have added a new beau to their venue with a newly sealed section of Wollondibby Road.

At the official opening of the road, the aptly named “End of Pothole” party, distillery owner Brad Spalding said it had been years in the planning for surveying, design and DA applications to upgrade the heavily potholed dirt road.

“After eight years of work we now have a new Wollondibby Road,” said Brad to a small group of guests who witnessed the ribbon cutting.

The entire project was managed and funded by Wildbrumby, a point Brad did make to councillor Brian Old who was invited to attend the official opening.

“It was a very large amount for a little distillery to come up with, but managing infrastructure is part of the cost of doing business in a remote location. We are already managing all our own water treatment and effluent, and this sealed section of road represents yet another big

step forward for us.”

The newly sealed section of road from the EcoCrackenback turnoff to the distillery was part of a larger project to upgrade the commercial production area of the distillery. The local council included a condition that the section of road be sealed as part of that development application.

Engineer Tom Evans was hired to oversee the project for its duration, construction completed by Edwin Kraft of Kraft Earthmoving with surveying work

by Peter Burns.

The new road will offer better distillery access, has created more parking for cars and buses and will alleviate the huge clouds of dust drifting from the old dirt road.

“This will obviously have benefits for both our customers and our distilling operations. Now we just wish those people using the road would slow down a bit,” says Spalding.

Women on Snow

By Gina Woodward THE rise in popularity of women’s specific active trips, be it in wellness, walking, skiing or surfing, is a global trend leading to options for all ages and abilities. Check out what’s on offer to you in this Australian winter.

In our Snowy Mountains region, there are a range of women’s ski and snowboard improvement programs across most of the resorts, along with snowshoe tours, XC ski session, Masters programs and avalanche courses.

Women’s programs are a really inspiring

way to improve skills, learn something new, make new friends, and learn in a supportive environment. And they are all kinds of fun too.

With on-snow learning, video analysis and expert coaching, the changes participants see by the end of a week can be remarkable and will add so much to their enjoyment of the sport.

Be it a one day course, a full week, or a program over a few weeks, it’s worth checking out the options to see what suits your winter plans.

Often courses will include a number of specific off-snow sessions tailored to the

interests of the participants. Be it morning yoga, post ski stretch classes, learning about women’s specific equipment, or knowing what to ask for at the ski tuning shop, there is something for everyone to learn in this space.

In conjunction with the programs, some resorts host wine and cheese shopping nights, with discounts for the ladies to enjoy. Rewarding yourself for an achievement, be it a small win, is a great excuse for some retail therapy, snow themed of course.

When participants register for a program, there may often be a recommended fitness program to help prepare for the course, such as Snow Fitness (online) run

by Thredbo Ambassador and Olympian Manuela Berchtold. Just ask a group who’s feeling great on day three of a five day program and it’s normally the Pilates regulars who are smiling, with strong core and legs brought to the program so they can maximise what they get out of it.

Programs see loads of return participants who enjoy the opportunity to learn with others in this environment. Anecdotal feedback notes that they’ve made lifelong friends, found chicks to ski with, love being encouraged by their group, and laugh when they realise it’s ok to ask your group to sit out a run or go to the toilet, without being heckled by their family – c’mon Mum, hurry up!

RIDERS looking to compete in the fourth running of the L’Étape Australia cycling event can register now for early bird savings.

With two separate events, the 170km Race and the 108km Ride, entrants can choose their preferred distance with both events finishing in the heart of Jindabyne.

The revised 2018 L’Étape format proved to me a massive hit with competitors, and while the punishment on the body was brutal on the 170km Race, the fact both the Race and the Ride started and finished in Jindabyne was a key factor for it to be the most favoured course so far.

Now entering a fourth year and with its future beyond this 2019 not confirmed, it could be the last time cyclists get to endure the battle of the now infamous Col de Beloka, or “The Wall” as it is commonly referred to during race conditions.

The 170km Race also has the long and gruelling Col de Kosciuszko, a steady incline from Jindabyne to Perisher before the descent back to the finish line.

The L’Étape Australia supported by the Tour de France is held on closed roads and provides over 3000 amateur riders an experience as close as riding in the Tour de France as is possible.

All riders in the past three years have also fell in love with the beauty of the Snowy Mountains terrain and the enthusiasm

the residents have welcomed the event.

As competitors progress through the countryside crowds cheer them on and wave the traditional colours of the Tour de France, as well as decorate their properties showing support.

This year L’Étape Australia is proud to have Australian cyclist Amanda Spratt and Mitchelton-SCOTT professional cyclist Esteban Chaves as ambassadors.

Commentator Matthew Keenan will be calling the race as competitors cross the line.

Once finished Banjo Paterson Park becomes a festive atmosphere with entertainment and a welcome rest for the riders as they swap tales from the road.

Riders will arrive to collect their bibs on Friday 29 with race day on Saturday 30 November 2019.

EACH winter hundreds of thousands of visitors drive to the snow resorts. Many are oblivious to the weather and how it plays a huge factor in the condition of the road.

Here are some driving tips to help get you to the snow and home safely: ̋̽ Roads can be slippery even if it has not been snowing. Moisture seeping across roads can freeze in sub-zero temperatures which may not be noticeable, especially on shady corners. ̋̽ Caution should always be taken, not just when it is snowing. ̋̽ Be constantly aware and drive to the conditions. ̋̽ Speed is one of the biggest factors in winter accidents in the alpine plus on the roads leading to the Snowy Mountains. ̋̽ Slow down, there is no rush and five minutes will not make a huge difference to your snow day. ̋̽ Ensure you have good tyres and you must fit chains when directed by RMS or National Parks staff. ̋̽ All two wheel drive cars must carry chains in Kosciuszko National Park and know how to fit them. ̋̽ When it snows the roads will be slippery. Slow down and allow extra distance between you and the car in front. ̋̽ Do not slam on the brakes as you will slide. Slowly pump the brakes on and off continually to slow down. ̋̽ Stay in lower gears and allow engine to assist your speed control. ̋̽ Do not overtake on snowy slippery roads or pull in front of cars making them brake suddenly. ̋̽ Be patient and enjoy the mountain drive no matter how slow.

Taking Photos of Kids SCHOOL holidays in July means loads of fun snow moments with the family that you are sure to want to capture.

With everyone virtually having a camera these days, via the phone at least, there is no reason why you can’t capture great memories which in years to come will become your family history.

So, let’s do it right and make stunning images as best we can.

Kids are small so you need to get down to their level, yet people stand tall over kids and mostly just shoot down. What you get is just a bland white background of the snow on the ground. Doesn’t sound so exciting when we phrase it like that does it.

That is a boring photo. You could do so much better by at least kneeling or even lying on the snow so that you are in your kids’ world, looking up or at least straight at them.

This type of photo brings the sky and mountains into view and a much more interesting setting with the younger ones looking down at you at the camera.

Try this or even compare standing to kneeling and you will see the difference.

Plus, the grandparents will appreciate better photos.

If you want kids together you need to direct them. Put arms around each other’s shoulder and make it look warm and welcoming. If you don’t tell them what you want, they will stand like statues mostly, so become the director of operations to add that little extra spice to your photo.

For a family photo you can use a few of the same principles, especially if mum or dad are 6 foot 5.

When organising the family take an extra minute and have the parents kneel so that they are on a similar level to the kids.

Having everyone’s eye line on a similar plane will really enhance the photo.

Or make it fun and have the kids lay over dads back or sit on a parent’s knee. This will make the photos that much more professional and the difference is chalk and cheese.

Plus, you can zoom in closer on the group and see people’s faces much better if they are organised closer together.

The same theory applies to action photos for kids. Get down on that snow and make sure you get the best angle and shot.

In the photos here you can see some of the results. The group of cross-country

girls look like they are having a great time and the photo tells the story of fun.

The boy on the rail was taken from below on the sloping landing, so you could have kneeled below eye level to snap this great action.

Enjoy the snow and experiment more for exciting photos.

Busiest June Long Weekend Ever

By Steve Cuff THE 2019 snow season started in tremendous fashion with early openings

by Selwyn Snowfields and Perisher plus the busiest June long weekend ever recorded in Snowy Mountains history.

Late May and early June snowfalls saw the snow depth creep within 2.5cm of the legendary 2000 season, creating the best start to a season in 20 years with 71.3cm depth on June 4.

With publicity from the early snow crowds flocked to the resorts on the long weekend with Perisher and Thredbo car parks both overflowing and virtually every accommodation house full.

Visitors relished the exceptional conditions on the slopes with numerous lifts for skiing and snowboarding, snow play enthusiasts were ecstatic and with so many options off the slopes, there was a plethora of activity and fireworks to celebrate the occasion.

The Peak Music Festival at Perisher comprising four days and over 120 gigs kept the masses entertained off the slopes at Perisher Valley.

Thredbo had a free Village Square concert on Saturday night, followed by the long lunch on Sunday and a host of other entertainment for kids.

The traditional Jindabyne Snow Sale offered many a bargain and was packed solid Saturday morning. Retail shops, restaurants and cafes all had big weekends of trade.

By Monday the weather had taken a turn for the worse with heavy rain dampening the enthusiasm which resulted in most people leaving earlier than previously scheduled.

After such huge visitation the roads became a virtual parking lot all the way to Canberra and beyond of the like never witnessed before as guests departed in their thousands.

With all resorts having great season pass sales and guests taking the chance to acquire an early season slide, plus music options and keen sightseers, it certainly was a weekend for the history books.

Here are a number of images from the first week of the season.

FROM the 2019 winter onwards Australian snow enthusiasts who hold the Epic Australia Pass now have a new scenario to consider. Forget for one minute the pass has incredible overseas options, now you have three Australian resorts to choose from.

But will die hard Perisher skiers venture south to Hotham and Falls Creek resorts, or in a reverse situation, will those south of the border in Victoria be curious to schuss the slopes of Perisher.

Each resort is unique when it comes to terrain, village and surroundings and all have pros and cons compared to their respective other, depending on what you want from a snow holiday.

Looking beyond the next few years, how will this recent purchase by Vail Resorts of Hotham and Falls Creek lift companies affect visitation and affect growth of each individual region, town or respective resort.

Snowy Mountains Magazine presented this scenario to Vail Resorts Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Australia and Perisher, Peter Brulisauer.

“I think we will see a whole bunch of interesting effects, some of which you can probably envisage and others will be a bit of a surprise, but if you go back to the basics of what the Epic Australia Pass is about, it’s providing Australians with better value so that they ski and board more,” said Mr Brulisauer.

“We expect that over time that visitation in all three resorts will increase.”

“And not in a way that will all happen in 2019 or 2020.

There’s natural constraints to access, whether it is the size of roads, or number of beds, the number of car parks that are going to govern how busy any resort can be on any given day. Some of those things will constrain how quickly resorts can grow.

“But most importantly I think for the community giving this additional value to the Epic Australia Pass holders will see more people want to invest in the region and visit the region.”

“Whether they’re a family that want to go and enjoy the fantastic facilities that Falls Creek provide in that environment, that on snow environment that are tailored to families, or whether they are skiing the steeps of Hotham which has got fantastic advanced terrain or whether they want to enjoy the wide variety that Perisher offers as the Southern Hemisphere’s biggest resort.

“When you can make loyal guests feel like they are getting great value I think they are going to plan their winter around how they are going to come down here more and that’s great for our business, it’s a key part of our strategy, key part of Vail Resorts strategy.”

“I remember riding the Ridge Chair with a guy from Albury last year who bought the pass predominately to ski in the US, and then thought “I would just go give Perisher

a go”. Yeah, he was just blown away by Perisher, just like wow, like how big this place is and how much variety there is.

“I think more and more people will start to come up here, and vice versa, some Perisher guests will go down to Hotham, I don’t think that is a bad thing, it’s a great thing because it’s giving our skiers and snowboarders variety and it’s keeping them interested in skiing and keeping them hooked.”

With the introduction of the RFID pass system some years ago data is the key now for resorts. It is crucial to their planning and now more than ever they know every aspect of their guest.

Mr Brulisauer said, “Yes, we do track the data, we track it really carefully. Epic, Epic Australia Pass, that suite of passes is a key plank of the strategy for Vail Resorts and so too is understanding what those guests do.”

“In terms of numbers, we can’t talk numbers but in the press release that was put out it was really clear that Vail Resorts has been really happy with what’s been achieved out of the Sydney market and with Perisher, both driving Perisher’s results and also driving visitation into our resorts in the US and Canada out of Sydney, and a key reason for the acquisition of Hotham and Falls (lift companies) is to try and do the same thing out of Melbourne.”

Judging by visitation in the Snowy Mountains, Jindabyne and Perisher which most would agree has been strong, will the purchase have the same effect on Hotham and Falls Creek resorts as more Melbourne and possibly NSW visitors seek out their full options and frequent all three resorts.

“It’s part of the idea to try and get more people to ski in our Australian resorts as well, it’s not all about taking Australians to go and ski the US and Canada and not here,” said Mr Brulisauer.

Either way, what ever resort you want to ski or snowboard, be it here in Australia or overseas, let’s just say the choices seem more endless than before.

You must use your Epic Australia Pass in Australia first before it is eligible for the northern winter.

Perisher Leichhardt Chair Opening

By Steve Cuff

A summer of hard work and years in the planning all came to fruition when Perisher opened their new $4.2m Leichhardt Quad Chair on Thursday June 6, two days before the June long weekend.

In what was a marketer’s dream, heavy snowfalls in May and early June allowed for an early opening of not only Perisher Resort, but the Leichhardt Chair as well.

It was somewhat low key and not too many people which was totally understandable considering it was two days prior to the June long weekend. But it sure was an enjoyable ride and everyone would agree that the new chair has given a new lease of life to this area of the resort.

You ride high here on the Doppelmayr quad, and the view is great and totally different to when you were dragged on the ground via the T-bar. You can see Front Valley and the loading areas on Mt Perisher chairs, ideal for dodging lift lines on busy days.

And the verdict……!!! A big thumbs up not only for the new chair but for the resort staff and Doppelmayr to have it ready for what was the busiest opening long weekend in history.

Most of Perisher’s hierarchy were in attendance for the opening and a few words were said by Perisher’s Chief Operating Officer, Peter Brulisauer, before the serious business of riding the chair and cutting some laps.

We all know the chair is not the longest in the world, but it serves a great purpose for all levels of snow enthusiasts.

Plus, more importantly it has

increased capacity by 75% on the old “lovable” Leichhardt T-bar.

There were a few reminiscing lift line stories of the now long forgotten T-bar days, but the chair is a winner, and everyone seemed suitably impressed.

The replacement of the steep, advanced only Leichhardt T-bar with a chairlift will allow it to be used by children and beginners providing another option to the nearby Happy Valley T-bar. The new chairlift also has the same conveyor load system as the Freedom Quad Chairlift in Guthega, making the loading process easy for all guests.

From a snow enthusiasts point of view it serves many options from off piste stormy days on Powder Ridge, The Cleft will see more carving on its groomed piste, the Leichhardt Terrain Park will now be a quicker lap and for the low end skiers finding their feet, a great cruise on the Snowy Trails.

It is not every day you attend an opening of a chair lift, so the

occasion was special, and it is now part of Perisher history.

Leichhardt will attract many a guest this season and for many years to come so swing by when you are next at Perisher and cruise a few laps. The chair opens at 8.30am each day, perfect for making your way from Front Valley across to Mt Perisher.

Guthega History at Historical Society Dinner presentation, the gathering often burst into laughter, such was the extent of intimate description of bus excursions and breakdowns from Canberra to the mountains in the 50’s.

Members would have to push the bus, often fix the bus en route, slept on the floor and even under the bus before they would eventually build their own lodges.

One such trip resulted in the bus arriving at Smiggins with one person sitting on the left front guard with a petrol can pumping petrol straight into the carburettor, and another member sitting on the right guard topping up the water into the radiator.

THE annual Perisher Historical Society dinner was held in Charlotte Pass this year with guests venturing to the Stillwell Hotel.

The guest speaker each year talks about local skiing history. Wal Costanzo from Brindabella Ski Club presented a fascinating insight into the beginning of the Canberra based club and their lodges at Guthega from the 1950’s through to Carinya at Thredbo in later years.

Starting their life as the YMCA Ski Club of Canberra in 1951 with a small group of enthusiastic skiers, Wal delved into the club’s history which he was a major part from 1957.

He said the Club’s early ski trips revolved around a series of old buses of dubious mechanical reliability and as he continued to recount several bus stories during the

What a sight that must have been.

In the mid 1950s the Club decided it needed permanent accommodation in the Snowy Mountains for its members. At that stage Guthega Dam was being constructed with a sizeable village in Guthega to accommodate staff and workers. In 1955 the Snowy Mountains Authority (SMA) offered the Club one of the staff cottages with basic accommodation that became “Tiobunga” lodge.

As membership grew so did their expectations of more advanced accommodation and the club built a second lodge at Guthega, “Kyilla” which was opened by Sir William Hudson in July 1960.

The “Tiobunga” lodge was renovated

In 1967 with a club membership of 500 and many members wanting access to longer T-bars, chairlifts and challenging terrain, it was decided to build the “Carinya” lodge at Thredbo in 1968.

Further renovations were undertaken on “Carinya” in 1996 and finished in June 1997. Shortly after the final stage of Carinya was completed, the lodge was destroyed in the Thredbo landslide of July 1997 with the loss of one Club member and 17 residents of Bimbadeen lodge.

The club has since constructed a new lodge in Thredbo, Waragun in the

Woodridge area.

Canberra residents have been very active snow people to this day and were a major part of the early snow years at Guthega and Perisher. Members of the Brindabella Ski Club were also very hands on and construction of all of the Club’s three lodges and extensions were undertaken almost entirely by Club labour.

Ski Tuning Maestro WHEN Perisher ski tuning maestro Adi Mayer first arrived in Australia it was for six months before returning to Austria.

“I worked for Stolz ski boot manufacturer and they needed somebody to foam boots and I only originally come out for six months, four months work and few months holiday in Australia,” said Adi. “They talked me into staying in the summer and tune all their hire skis.,” He now estimates he has tuned over two hundred thousand pairs of skis at his shop Adi’s Waxatorium in Perisher where he has been for 47 years.

This season he has taken possession of a brand new state of the art Montana automated tuning machine, the first one of its kind outside of Europe and can now tune 30-40 skis per hour.

Adi said he started out at Perisher working for the company in the 1970’s in boot and ski hire. “They would get their boots and then go to the next building outside of the number 1 T-bar (now Mitchell T-Bar) for their skis,” said Adi. “The good old days where we were in the pit, with people stepping on your fingers when they were stepping into their skis.”

“1972 I started with just hand filing and

a little sand grinding machine, that’s all I had.”

“In 1977 I approached the company and they realised they needed a tuning place and they agreed so I am still here, I am still doing it.”

Since the mid 1980’s Adi has had five state of the art machines, what he calls “robots”, but said he has never looked back from arriving in the Snowy Mountains.

His home region Villach has excellent ski pedigree including the legendary Franz Klammer and Sochi Winter Olympic downhill champion Matthias Mayer residing in the same small town, Afritz am See, where Adi grew up with Matthias’ grandparents.

Now though he is firmly entrenched working in the Perisher Centre during winter and living in Jindabyne.

Each day he loads the machine which does a full tune on skis and snowboards, including settings for different base structures and race tuning. He then checks them and waxes the skis and snowboards and they are ready.

On his wall in the downstairs arcade shop there are some old photos of his early

days, a long way from the new Montana machine that is a modern standout in the shop.

“I went from a go go mobile to a Rolls Royce,” said Adi.

2019

2019 marks 10 years since the passing of Amelia McGuiness, a passionate and experienced skier who tragically lost her life at 16 years of age, and the subsequent establishment of the Amelia McGuiness Snowsports Development Foundation (AMASDF) in her honour.

The AMASDF is dedicated to raising funds to provide financial support for up-andcoming winter snowsports athletes from the age of 10 to 18 years old.

In the 10 years since the Foundation was established just on $194,800 in individual Snowsports Scholarships have been awarded. The AMASDF operates through Ski & Snowboard Australia with support for its initiatives from the NSW & ACT Snowsports discipline committees and Interschools Snowsports Australia.

Since its inception, AMASDF has supported many athletes that have since competed in the Winter Olympic Games, as well as aspiring developing athletes.

Some of the recent scholarship recipients include; Jakara Anthony, Belle Brockhoff, Rohan Chapman-Davies, Britt Cox, Matt Graham, Claudia Gueli, Jarryd Hughes,

Interschools Parent Survival Can you handle the pace of being an Interschoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mum? From wearing Glad garbage bags at prestigious private-school events, to lugging semi-trailer loads of ski gear around the mountain, hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one Mumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s take on surviving the championships.

THE world of snow racing can be tough, and not just for the competitors. Consider for a moment the parents of the 10,000 kids who compete in the Interschools Snowsports Championships each year.

Interschoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mums and Dads have a bit of a reputation on the mountain. Yes, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tough. But they have to be. They have rearranged entire family schedules, juggled work commitments, found accommodation, packed and then lugged a semi-trailer load worth of snow gear long distances in the wee hours of the morning, and forked out obscene amounts of money just so their little darlings can have 30 seconds of fame running the gates.

And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all before race day.

Interschools have also been known to attract bad weather of all types with blizzards seemingly appearing like magnets on race days.

A few years back, I was a parent at Interschools standing for most of the day on a race course in some hideously

wet conditions. In over 30 years on the mountain, I have never been so wet and cold as I was that day.

Every time I smiled (or should I say grimaced), water squeezed from the foam padding around my goggles and ran down my cheeks in rivers. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand why my head was getting so cold, until I discovered my amateur-hour mistake of not closing the vents on my helmet.

And Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m almost too embarrassed to mention that I took my gloves off at one point to wring out the water, not realising I would never get them back on again until they dried.

My life would have been a lot easier had I succumbed to the lure of an Interschoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mum jacket - those long, cape-like things that scream DONâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;T MESS WITH ME! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;M AN INTERSCHOOLS MUM. At another, and almost-as-wet race event, I did choose to wear a garbage bag over my ski jacket, but only because I liked the cheekiness of turning up to a prestigious private-school event in a Glad bag.

I asked the State Manager of NSW

Interschools, Wendy Olsen, what tips she had for Interschools Mums and Dads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You need to be organised and know where the event courses are, what time course inspections start and when the race starts,â&#x20AC;? Wendy says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a quick turn-around between course inspection and race start times, so be mindful of this if your child is one of the ďŹ rst 20 competitors down the course. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But remember, your kids having fun

and the sense of achievement they will feel by taking part in the racing is more important than the times they achieve.â&#x20AC;?

My tips? Make sure you have the warmest and most waterproof gear you can afford, there is some serious standing around watching. But it is all worth it for high ďŹ ves and hugs from your tiny competitors at the ďŹ nish line â&#x20AC;&#x201C; even if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re so cold you can barely feel your ďŹ ngers and toes.

Mt Kosciuszko Winter Summit

By Steve Cuff AUSTRALIA’S highest summit, Mt Kosciuszko at 2228m above sea level changes dramatically from summer to winter. Last season I had the pleasure of joining a Thredbo backcountry guided tour to see how it transforms once covered in snow.

Arriving at Thredbo for what I thought was an introductory tour, Josh Armstead our lead tour guide said that tour had not filled so would I like to go to Kosciuszko instead.

Sure, that sounds great, but in the back of my mind there was doubt that being chained to the editor’s desk has done nothing for my fitness.

The group organises their backcountry touring skis, we are issued with transceivers and North Face backpacks and given instructions about the day ahead and ride the Kosciuszko Express chair to Eagles Nest.

Fitting skins was relatively simple and we set off with a small mixed group who all seem friendly and as excited as I am. I know it is a 6.5km summer walk on a pathway, but what to expect in winter with ski boots and more gear.

We have two guides, Josh and Lachy MacMahon who are very knowledgeable and experienced. They have done this trip

SHELTER: The best lunch spot inside Seaman’s Hut.

numerous times, but they are still super enthusiastic. I suppose it is hard to not like this view as we steadily climb out of Thredbo over rolling hills.

Along the way they advise of techniques for turning for when the terrain becomes steeper, but it is hardly cliff hanging, rather steadier incline.

As we see our first glimpse of Kosi the views only continue to impress. It is a blanket of white as far as the eye can see and the Main Range expanse starts to appear as we climb higher. You can see Mt Carruthers and glimpses of the much steeper Watsons Crag area.

It is mid September 2018 on what is a big snow year and the roof of Australia is presenting itself magnificently, the scenery stunning.

On the more steeper pitches the lungs have reservations about my decision, but the body is willing and I just go at my pace.

There is no hurry here, it is a glorious day so stopping to absorb the scenery is part of this adventure.

We stop at Lake Cootapatamba lookout, the lake totally snow covered, but the cornice ridge on the far side leading down from the Kosciuszko summit is something to behold. It seems just continuous with a vivid blue sky background.

We arrive at the face of Kosciuszko, the time my subconscious may have been dreading, walking straight up the steeper face rather than the simpler summer version of circumnavigating via a steady path. I use my old strategy of just stopping to take a photo routine as my lungs suggest a longer rest is needed.

It is by no means a hard climb and the younger fitter crew seem to blast up there with ease.

It’s no surprise it is windy at the top, but I wonder on the strategy of people

snowshoeing in shorts. Our group are not the only people here and we witness a kite skier in full flight.

As expected, the views are spectacular and as we link turns down the face towards Rawson Pass on a thin layer of corn it is delightful skiing but the only real turns we will have all day.

This is more of an adventure bucket list tour to tick off summiting of one of the seven continent summits. I’m sure my count will stay as one.

We venture towards Seaman’s Hut which is such a contrast sitting there by its lonesome in this vast snow covered wilderness. It may well be one of the best lunch locations ever.

The return to Thredbo is more touring and a slight gradient to arrive at the top of Anton’s T-bar for the schuss back to the base.

What a day and a true adventure to the roof of Australia.

Torah Bright Mini Shred SMILING faces are sure to abound from hundreds of kids who can’t wait to attend the Torah Bright Mini shred in July.

Torah loves the day describing the Mini Shred as her favourite day of the year.

“It’s fun, it’s about making new friends to shred with and learn new things. Seeing the talent level of little Aussie shredders is amazing. It’s incredible to have such a brilliant line-up of inspiring athletes and Olympians to share advice, tips and stoke with all the kids. It sure is a day to remember,” said Torah.

Over 300 excited kids registered for the day last year and were greeted by one of the best coaching line-ups ever assembled on Australian soil. This year will be no different.

It’s all about encouraging generation next to get out on the snow and with gold medal talent and award-winning inspiration Torah Bright is the perfect host.

The Torah Bright Mini Shred gives intermediate skiers and boarders under 18 the chance to shred with their friends, pick up tips from the industry best and progress in a super fun environment.

Torah said it was amazing of all the coaches to give their time, but it was all for the kids.

“The kids are a little nervous but once the coaches all get in and start talking to them and building their confidence it’s like

amazing to see how the kids really progress and really blossom.”

Parent Brooke from Balgowlah said her two daughters were having a fantastic day last year.

“My younger daughter had never done jumps before, so to have something like this set up is fantastic for her to learn safely and for her to get that encouragement to be a part of it. There are a lot of confident people here that I am really pleased they are helping those younger ones,” said Brooke.

Mark Campbell from Forresters Beach on the Central Coast had two kids involved, Harvey (6) and Maya (8).

“This is great mate, it’s just so good to see Torah put on a great day for the kids and it’s inspiring to have all the pros here teaching them tricks and everyone is stoked,” said Mark.

The Thredbo terrain park crew develop one of the coolest mini terrain parks for the event with a sweet jib and jump line, transitions and rollers – all mini size just ideal for learning.

There’s a signing session with Torah and the coaches, a sausage sizzle, DJ and giveaways thanks to Roxy, Rhythm Snow Sports and Aspen Snowmass. The event wraps with the highlight of the day…the mass group dance.

“It feels awesome,” said Mr Diver.

“Obviously a very exciting time for me and hopefully an exciting time for Thredbo and the wider community of Thredbo, I think.

It’s Official - Thredbo Gondola for 2020 EXCITING news has been confirmed that Thredbo will build a new 8-person Doppelmayr gondola this summer with an opening for the 2020 snow season.

Newly appointed General Manager, Stuart Diver spoke with Snowy Mountains Magazine in an exclusive interview where he confirmed the news and outlined prospective future development plans Thredbo have on their agenda.

Mr Diver said he was really excited about what the gondola will do for Thredbo.

“An eight person gondola is absolutely a big investment for us but not only for our winter business, year round business it is really going to pay dividends,” said Mr Diver.

“I think the big upside is the tourist rides in winter will be great and taking guests in the comfort of a brand-new gondola up to the Merritts area to have a look at the snow and have a hot chocolate, I think will be great.”

The gondola will replace the old existing Merritts double chair that runs from the Valley Terminal precinct. The gondola will take the same line plus will have a mid station on the higher side of High Noon run where the current double chair passes over.

He admitted that a big issue was obviously the safety of guests, especially small guests and their transport around the hill. Currently Thredboland kids download the Gunbarrel chair to return back to Friday Flat and guests riding from the village have to carry their equipment.

With the installation of the new gondola not only will it benefit the younger kids but allow a much greater access point from the village side to the alpine region for intermediate skiers. The gondola

also presents many summer mountain bike opportunities.

“For our Thredboland guest it will be made a lot safer having them inside an enclosed cabin – some upside there.

The third main one is opportunities on really bad weather days with the snow making expansions on the Dream Run next summer as well which is a big part of this. We will able to run in really bad weather days, give passengers the comfort of going up in the gondola and still have a really good experience – skiing experience coming back down.”

Dream Run starts at a similar elevation as the base of the Cruiser Chair. Should this chair be on wind hold it will still allow for skiing via the gondola.

The cost of the gondola and the expanded Dream Run snowmaking will be approximately $15 million.

There had been expectations that other prospective developments could also start this coming summer. There are plans for a knock down and rebuild of Thredboland at Friday Flat, plus the Merritts Mountain House restaurant at the cruiser area would also be redesigned to allow a bigger restaurant and deck area. This would make good sense having a new bigger restaurant at the top of the gondola.

There are currently development applications in for these projects.

But Mr Diver has indicated they will be staged now over several years. “We are just currently prioritising those big buildings, there obviously expensive buildings for us.”

“We would like to build Thredboland, doing all the Thredboland and Friday Flat works the following summer for the

2021 winter, which will be a new Thredbo Sports, a new children snowsports facility, ski instructor’s locker room.

Very much Friday Flat focus and really just to improve our guests experience – a central part of our winter business.”

Regarding the Merritts restaurant Mr Diver said, “We know we need some more capacity up in that food and beverage area and will work very hard to get that done as soon as we can. Definitely looking at three years out at the moment.”

Thredbo also have development applications in for prospective increased

car parking in the Friday Flat precinct.

“That’s a big thing. Carparking is an issue for all resorts and we understand that, and we need to give our guests more spaces to park their cars. We are looking build that as soon as we can next summer, but that could also push out over two years. Definitely a priority for us, we understand on those busy days guests need a place to park so we are going to address that issue.”

Overall if all the developments were to be approved and built, the expenditure would be in excess of $50 million.

Snow Fun for Everyone THINK July in Thredbo and you know the younger brigade will be well looked after with the July Kids Snow Festival while the slightly elder generation will be stepping up their après party routine.

The festivities will be mammoth and snow bunnies of all ages can get excited for a giant line up of activities.

For the kids it is huge, with skiing and snowboarding on the slopes, shredding through a private terrain park with Olympian Torah Bright, or just pizza nights at days end.

The Aspen Snowmass igloo will be the place to visit off the snow to make your very own S’ mores, including authentic Graham crackers, chocolate supplied by Lindt and giant marshmallows.

Girl power will be put in motion so grab your best gal pals and come together for a girl’s only cruise down the mountain at Yuki birds girls ride day. Here you can meet like-minded snow birds to shred, carve and schuss down the slopes.

No, it’s not baseball but Thredbo will score a few home runs or at least go to First Base at the vintage après soiree.

In the newly renovated Alpine Bar (formerly poolside) the party will just be starting once you finish on the slopes. Gather around the stylish firepits to stay warm, take a sneaky dip in the hot tubs and dance the night away to a smooth mix of throwback tunes in your best vintage après outfits.

Located in the Heart of Thredbo European Style Lodge Open Year Round

Grab a glass of bubbles and unwind with the best après band Sweet Mix Kids at the Mumm Après Sessions. And for those party animals looking for more, get ready to light up the night and howl at the moon at Thredbo’s Full Moon party.

July is packed with competitions for those die hard skiers and snowboarders.

Riders can compete in various events throughout the month, including Interschools snow sports competitions and the Thredbo Snow Series. There’s even a chance for those more senior skiers to show off their style and pace at the Thredbo Masters.

And Uni students, don’t worry, textbooks are well and truly off limits

as Thredbo’s Kosciuszko Pale Ale Uni Week ramps up the party with daily entertainment.

Jyes Jam is back for a third year, with snowboard fanatics catching an urban style rail competition on the iconic Friday Flat staircase. Watch twelve of the best riders in the Southern Hemisphere compete in a rad jam session.

Santa loves Christmas in July as much as anyone and will make his annual early appearance. That big red suit will be easily spotted handing out Christmas cookies at Friday Flat on July 25.

Thredbo is the home of winter snow après and family fun, so get ready for a great month of entertainment and snow times.

Real Estate Merge WHEN two passionate Sydney real estate agents Craig Moore and Paul Tutt were looking to invest outside of the Sydney region, they saw the ever-expanding Snowy Mountains as a real opportunity, both in lifestyle and in business.

This led to them purchasing Forbes Stynes Real Estate and Thredbo Ski Accommodation from Steve Forbes and Michelle Stynes last November.

Craig said the lifestyle and business were really the key drivers for them acquiring the initial business of Steve and Michelle.

Since that first acquisition they have added to their portfolio.

“In fact, we love the area and the mountains so much, that we have recently acquired Visit Snowy Mountains and Mountain High Real Estate in Thredbo Village, amalgamating with the existing business to now manage over 120 properties,” said Craig.

Paul and Craig have been owners of real estate businesses both in Sydney and on the South Coast and have covered all facets of real estate and property in a 25-year career. Projects include property management, singular property sales to project marketing some of Sydney’s most high-end apartment developments and residential land subdivision’s throughout southern and western Sydney.

“Thredbo Village is an incredible place, the people are staunch, passionate and absolute advocates of the alpine and their community lifestyle. Paul and I are both originally from the country ourselves and completely understand how much this means to them as local’s, we really get it and want to further promote it.”

With the merged businesses, Thredbo Ski Accommodation and Forbes Stynes Prestige Property Sales will now operate from their new refurbished

Thredbo Village office adjacent to the supermarket.

“Our staff are amazing, Sue and Jess, two local ladies are the absolute back bone of our business, they have been truly incredible throughout the whole acquisition and changeover. It’s been an incredibly busy period and only becoming busier with good snow upon us.”

“We have two new staff members in Paul Chandler, a former KT manager and Amy Osborne who both started mid June and who are a welcome addition to our team.”

“Michelle Stynes, one of the previous owners, is still an integral member of the sales team, her knowledge of the mountains and understanding of property values are second to none.

Michelle has vowed to stay on with us selling in the area for the next five years.

She has just listed one of Thredbo’s most exclusive properties for sale, with expectations of circa $4.5 million dollars.

“Since taking over the business in November last year we have sold some 20 properties within the Village, Lake Crackenback and Perisher. We are honoured to be a part of the Thredbo Village and the Alpine Way and everything it has to offer. Paul and I are very hands on within our business and believe it’s important to meet and great every owner that we manage and or sell for.

“We are here for the long haul and look forward to many long and special years, both living, managing, improving, growing and helping develop the Village into a leading real estate area/ destination for all the avid skiers, bush walking mountaineers and the bike riders to enjoy from around the world.”

The combined team have substantial knowledge of Thredbo, its properties and real estate and you can visit them at their new office during the season.

Alaskan Sit Ski Heliskiing

◼

◼

The group in Alaska heliskiing.

By Steve Cuff AN expedition consisting of massive logistics, planning and executing has resulted in quadriplegic sit skier Sarah-Jane ‘SJ’ Staszak experiencing a memorable Alaskan journey with her son Hamish.

Along with her disability ski guide Paul Gardner, carer Scott Marr, and part time Alaskan resident Jennie Milton, they combined for what was a heliskiing trip of a lifetime.

“It was truly just fantastic,” said SarahJane who is referred to as SJ. “In fact, I was having a shitty day the other day and I used that little trick where you take yourself back to a happy place. I went straight back to the first helicopter ride we had. It was instantly transforming my whole mood back into bliss land.”

SJ was an active adventurer when an operation went horribly wrong resulting in her being an incomplete quadriplegic.

She has little use of her arms, has thumb use but needs constant care. But this has not stopped her from continuing her active lifestyle which includes her 10-year-old son Hamish.

Jindabyne’s Paul Gardner first met SJ five years ago where he guided her in a sit ski on the slopes of Thredbo. They now ski about three weeks each year.

“We mentioned just as a dream and maybe even as a joke, wouldn’t it be cool to go heliskiing. Definitely something I would never imagine I would be taking anyone on,” said Paul.

As a precursor to Alaska they visited Japan in January and had been to Utah developing powder skiing skills with the sit ski.

Paul and SJ skiing in Alaska.

“We wanted to get warmed up to be familiar and make sure all our gear was ready to go, you can’t ski in Alaska with untested gear.”

In April Paul flew ahead to Alaska taking the sit ski and 90 kilos of luggage by himself.

“SJ took about 400 kilos, she took her electric wheelchair, stand up frame, all her son’s gear and all of Scotty’s gear,” described Paul.

This was just the start of a logistics journey including transportation in Alaska and the helicopter expedition. SJ said they then had to think how they were going to get the sit ski into the helicopter.

Jennie Milton assisted with helicopter organisation as her husband Steve works for Black Ops Valdez. They had to hire a private helicopter for two days heliskiing.

It was their last heli operation of the season with Paul saying, “They said yes straight away, they were so keen, and they reckon it is the best, we got a guy called Jerry who has been a guide for 28 years in Alaska.”

Paul said they spent up to three hours the first day working out the helicopter, “not only for us but for all the guides, as they have never done it”.

“The safety aspects are massive, not having anything flying off the sit ski into the blades. We were lucky it had a very big cage with a soft top that we could fold down.”

“Jennie Milton, Kristen Arlberg, one of my friends from Alaska and another guide would fly up to the top of the mountain.

We would get all our skis out, get the sit ski ready. The helicopter would fly back

Sarah-Jane ‘SJ’ Staszak with son Hamish and carer Scott in the helicopter. down to the base, would pick up SJ, her son Hamish and Scotty, the carer who wasn’t skiing. He was just in the helicopter to get her in and out of the helicopter.”

SJ said from her perspective, “I am thinking wow, there were really a lot of logistics to consider.”

“I have my son, managing him on the mountain, as I am unable to help. I’ve got to work out and plan scenarios making sure he is looked after in different situations you can come across when skiing. I think Paul had to consider the safety set up around himself managing the sit ski. We had to adapt different ideas for that big mountain not in a ski resort scenario, gosh, with me with quadriplegia being out in the elements like that, my body doesn’t thermo regulate.

“I don’t have the ability to warm myself up biologically. My spinal cord is damaged

so the messages don’t get up to my brain so there is just consideration of logistics of what if, the weather turns, and you’ve really got to be prepared to manage my medical and physical needs. Pressure sores in the sit ski for example, because I can’t feel if I am in discomfort. I could go on and on, there was so many.”

Paul said unloading SJ from the helicopter on the first run they switched the blades off.

“Scotty lifted her out of the helicopter, and we put her into the chair straight away.

Once we got it dialled in, we left the blades running and Scotty would get out of the helicopter and lift SJ onto one of the guides knees. It was so cold you couldn’t sit her in the snow all the time. Then we would put her in the sit ski and we would be ready to go.”

“We skied Japan, that was great, but it is the mountains in Alaska. The biggest thing she was thrilled about though, yes it was great skiing for the two of us but getting to the bottom of the run and asking to be spun around in the sit ski watching her 10 year old son (Hamish) ski powder. I will be honest with you, every time I think about it, I get a bit teary.”

“She was “oh look at my little boy, skiing a heli run” and man, he matured, he skied skis that were 25cm longer than he has ever skied. 20mils wider than he has ever skied, and he has become a little man. She never imagined she would see, never imagined she would ski herself again and no way

she imagined she would watch her son ski again.”

With fresh snow prior to their skiing SJ said it was powder.

“It was a bit of an issue because it was coming to the point I was getting whip by the snow and I was getting uncomfortable.

First world problem! I am never the one to say we need to stop. I am always up to keep on going. We can communicate verbally, he can usually hear me if I yell out. Because we were in nice soft powder, it wasn’t noisy, icy, so we could quiet easily yell out and talk to each other.

“I have a lot of trust in Paul and don’t have a lot of fear generally. My kind of philosophy or head space is if something bad is going to happen now, its welcome too. I feel I had my fair share of bad stuff to happen, so I tend to really just let myself enjoy that kind of thing. I don’t let fear override the experience. Paul is really an exceptional ski guide with the sit ski and I just literally trust him with my life.”

Paul said the team had many thanks to hand out and especially to Black Ops. “They not only took us heliskiing, they organised fishing for SJ, Scotty and Hamish, organised snowmobiling and they and Jen arranged dog sledding. They had SJ being hooked up behind the dog team direct to her sit ski.”

“Then they organised shooting guns.

Scotty, the carer just loves guns, it’s Alaska, everybody has guns.

“The funniest story I had heard, Hamish

CARVE: Testing skis will help you find the right choice. SKIER: Demelza Clay. PHOTO: Steve Cuff.

Try Before You Buy In the snow world this is key to finding the right ski or snowboard that suits you and there are numerous demonstration days where you can do exactly that, try before you buy.

ROCK up to any demo day and you will have so many choices it may well confuse you. But we can help decipher some of the white noise that may be filtering through your mind.

How should you go about testing new equipment? Well here a few great tips to get you carving and schussing.

RESEARCH Yes, you must do basic research so you have an ounce of an idea before you arrive, and this will apply to both snowboards and skis.

You can read about reviews online which will give you an indication and help you understand what to think about.

Ask yourself a few questions. Where do you normally ride or what is your preferred terrain, groomed or off piste?

How fast do you ski or board, what is your level, how much do you weigh, how tall are you, what size is your ski boot, what width or length are you thinking?

When you are talking to the tech guy at the demo stand they will want to know some of these details.

If you like your current equipment but just want to upgrade that is a good starting point to test that brand. All equipment is made different and one brand ‘could’ be more suited for you.

Visit a snow shop and ask questions and right down notes. If you mention you want to try before you buy, they may well have an option to take with you. That is certainly a starting point and they usually deduct the demo fee from the sale price.

But back to the on snow demo days, here you have a plethora of planks to test, so sign up and head to the a stand you think might be suited after your research.

There are different skis and boards to suit different levels so don’t buy or test the racing car when you are only a learner driver if you get my drift. You may be wasting your money or valuable demo time.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR? Click into a pair of skis or strap on a snowboard and ride or ski how you normally would . Do at least three or four laps of a decent run. Take notes, so bring a small notepad or punch info into your phone.

If you hate the product and struggle to turn them after two runs, take them straight back. Usually this is a sign they are not suited to you. But don’t despair.

It is a case of repeat the above and be assured you will suddenly go wow, they are good. Take good notes of these ‘wow’ ones and do an extra lap.

Continue to test at least six to eight different options, or more if time allows.

After number eight you will thank us for mentioning take notes. Half the fun of these weekends is also gauging all the options available and evaluating what works and doesn’t.

You don’t have to buy straight away and many of the demo days are in fact

weekends. Compare your notes over a trusty beverage during the evening and then return and take out your favourite two or three again.

Now that you have isolated your favourites the decision becomes easier and you should notice one might just be slightly more preferred. If they all perform sensationally then you must decide which one. That may then come down to price or availability.

Now you are ready to revisit your ski or snowboard shop and make the purchase.

Happy sliding.

Backcountry Safety Tips

By Mike Edmondson AS guides who are regularly in the NSW backcountry, we often encounter inexperienced people either lost in the backcountry or camped in exposed places. It is not Ėê¬óèèóê Đó ĸê² Đ̹ĩ áĈó Ì Ģ¹ inadequate equipment and clothing.

The Kosciuszko backcountry can be as brutal as any snow region in Đ̹ ģóĄá²Ť yó ĀĖĐ ÏĐ Ïê Ā¹ĄĈĀ¹¬ĐÏĢ¹ one client who had climbed the Ĉ¹Ģ¹ê ÌÏÅ̹ĈĐ ĈĖèèÏĐĈ óà Đ̹ Ĉ¹Ģ¹ê continents said Kosciuszko was the Ĉ¹¬óê² Ì Ą²¹ĈĐ óà Đ̹ Ĉ¹Ģ¹êŤ Here are safety tips you should abide by to make your trip enjoyable and - more importantly - a safe one.

EXPERIENCE Having an experienced member in your small group who knows the area and the conditions is a must for any adventure. They should know abilities and fitness levels of each member and have checked everyone’s equipment.

Experience also counts navigating in a whiteout with a map and compass, plus have a GPS as a backup. Many people often rely solely on a phone as a GPS which often fail in the cold even if you have a battery to charge from.

All backcountry visitors should learn snow craft safety. From picking a protective sheltered spot to visit or camp is important. Having snow shovels and the knowledge how to use them for building protective solid snow walls around tents and camp kitchen, to building a backup igloo or snow cave.

Last year I had five clients sleep overnight in an igloo we had built which K7 Adventure guides then visited on day trips to educate their clients.

BACKUP PLAN We need to respect the mountains by having backup plans in case bad weather and snow conditions make it unsafe.

If there were 90km winds with rain changing to snow, plus whiteout visibility you may have to wait until conditions improve. We always advise clients to allow ideally three to four days if they wish to climb

EXPERIENCE

COUNTS

◼

EXPERIENCE: The rewards of a backcountry trip are plentiful.

PHOTOS: Mike Edmondson.

K7 ADVENTURES is the most experienced team for all your backcountry adventures.

◼

VIEW: What a stunning view from your tent front door.

Mt Kosciuszko in winter to pick the nicest day.

Be flexible and if bad weather arrives either postpone or head lower into the protection of the tree line. From here you can still camp, snowshoe, ski and snowboard but you still need experience to set up a safe camp.

I check the weather forecast carefully and continually to keep our groups informed. The evening before when checking their gear, we advise clients of likely scenarios for safety with current snow and weather conditions.

SAFETY GEAR AND KNOWLEDGE Even on day trips I take an emergency shelter lightweight tent or bivy bag in case someone hurts themselves. In case of injury knowing how to build an emergency shelter and having an extra snow shovel can prove vital.

Having the right clothing is paramount. Old waterproof jackets and pants often fail by getting wet and heavy. Have good quality waterproof outer layers and lightweight layered clothing that

you can shed or add depending on weather and temperature. Carry extra sets of warm clothing and extra gloves are recommended.

First aid knowledge and first aid kit are must haves in case of emergency as you are extremely remote, with help often hours away. An Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacon (EPIRB) can be hired from the Snowy Region Visitors Centre in Jindabyne.

If you’re travelling across exposed steeper terrain you should have at least attended avalanche training and awareness courses to familiarise yourself with dangers.

Advise someone responsible what your plans, schedule and backup plans are and when you will contact them at certain times with progress reports or you have returned safely from your trip.

Exploring the Region Yarrangobilly Caves and Thermal Pool

◼

SWIM: The Thermal Pool is a constant 27 degrees.

PHOTO: DestinationNSW.com.au

No Bondi Icebergs here! It’s a toasty warm water option for those in the know in the snow.

ON a winter trip to the Snowy Mountains you may come across a few unfriendly weather days, given that’s where snow comes from right? Or you may just need a day off if you’re visiting for a week or more. Either way, winter is a great time to explore the region and see it in such a different way to summer.

A fun option for a day trip is to drive to Yarrangobilly Caves and Thermal Pool for a winter swim. This 20 metre long, year-round pool is heated to 27 degrees.

It’s naturally fed by warm-water springs and is 2.5 metres deep. There is no shallow end although the main pool overflows into a safe kids wading pool area. There’s something for all the family here so bring swimmers, a towel and a picnic lunch as there is no café only snacks available.

In the winter, you may still see some birdlife. However, the chance of snow on the ground around you plus the steam rising from the water’s surface adds new elements to the experience if you’ve seen it in summer.

It’s a short 700m walk downhill on a

formed path to the pool. Here you will find a picnic area plus changerooms and toilets. Save some energy for the steep uphill return walk to the carpark.

If you want a scenic walk and depending on weather conditions, take your warm, waterproof boots on a family friendly walk along the Yarrangobilly River. You may see some friendly wildlife on this 3km loop track. Start from the Glory Hole carpark (which links up with the thermal pool) or head on the track upstream after you’ve had a swim.

Yarrangobilly Caves is in the northern part of Kosciuszko National Park and your annual pass or a small $4 day fee allows access. The drive on the Snowy Mountains Highway is a scenic one (check weather/road conditions) and then it’s a 6km diversion along the Yarrangobilly Caves entrance road (unsealed) to reach the caves.

Both Jersey and Jillabenan caves have guided tours and South Glory Cave as a self-guided option, with tickets are required for all cave tours. The caves

were formed millions of years ago and discovered by Europeans in 1834. They have an fascinating history and are a must visit for those with a sense of adventure. Tour times are available online and there are additional tours during school holidays.

The Snowy Mountains region is full of surprises and great experiences for visitors, throughout each season of the year. Explore on a day off and enjoy all that it has to offer. (See page 20 for more off snow options).

Family Fun at Big White THE feeling of happiness and fun permeates the winter air as you see smiling faces abound, and the infectious sound of laughter echoes through the trees.

When it comes to winter fun there’s nothing better than enjoying a getaway with your family, and no one does family better than Big White Ski Resort.

“All of us have pretty much had the trip of our life,” said Australia’s 1988 World Surfing Champion Barton Lynch.

A trip of a lifetime is a good way to describe what’s in store once you step into the winter wonderland mountain village located at 1755 meters above sea level. With average temperatures of an enjoyable -5 Celsius you’ll quickly see why they call the snow ‘Okanagan Champagne Powder’. An average of 7.5 metres of the light fluffy stuff turns the trees into ‘Snow Ghosts’ and the slopes into one huge family playground.

Combine this with over 118 runs, five powder bowls, 15 lifts, and one gondola there’s more than enough terrain to

CHOICES: With so many runs to choose, where will you ski.

keep your family happy. With short lift lines and no waiting around your kids will be clamouring out the door and onto the lifts as you see them begin turning every morning from your slope side accommodations.

The family fun doesn’t stop there as Big White also features the world class Telus terrain park, Canada’s highest elevation skating rink, Snow Coaster Adventure Park, 25-metre ice climbing tower, dogsledding, snowmobiling and alpine night skiing. All to keep the most adventurous members of the family happily occupied outdoors.

If you’re looking to learn, the ski school has some of the best programs and features found in the world.

Flaiks GPS trackers let you know what your kids are up to during their lessons, or more importantly, where they are if they get lost. You can even have ski school staff come to your accommodation and pick up your kids each morning while you set out on your own.

Weeklong race camps help the keen skiers while the masters’ weeks are perfect for those looking to advance their skills at an advanced age.

Once the snows been dusted off your boots, and the ski gear hung to dry, it’s time to indulge in Big White’s epic family après activities. Take in the free weekly kids’ carnival in the Village Center Mall, or the weekly fireworks in Happy Valley, or maybe just drop the kids off for rock climbing and a movie at the Kids Center while you hit the spa for a relaxing massage. It’s all up to you.

Did we mention that the storybook village is also Canada’s largest totally

With exceptionally affordable prices and over 17,000 on-mountain beds there is a huge variety of accommodation to suit every budget.

Feeling hungry? Big White is abound with food and drink, especially during the Gourmet Ski Week where delectable events quench your thirst and nourish your soul with chef hosted dinners,

wine lunches, and après cocktail gatherings.

“With nonstop flights from Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne it’s so easy to just jump on a flight and be in Canada with no stops along the way, that makes it a much more feasible thing to come to North America and experience the size of these mountains and the quality of the snow,” said Barton Lynch.

and the legendary back bowls that are a fresh powder paradise after a storm.

With an annual average snow fall over 8.8 metres (350 inches) and more than 300 days of sunshine each year, you don’t need to be a mathematician to conclude blue bird powder days are plentiful.

Easing into knee deep turns of light dry Colorado powder is what has made China, Siberia and Mongolia Bowls so legendary and why Vail have the motto “like nothing on earth”. The back bowls alone have 3017 acres and the resort has 195 named runs.

You can be the judge this coming winter once you have experienced first-hand skiing the 1025m of vertical with a peak elevation of 3,257 metres (11,570 Ft).

Close by Vail is Beaver Creek, where service runs to another level just like the increased altitude. So, visiting Vail first to acclimatise is helpful as Beaver Creek’s summit is another 240m higher.

Colorado have numerous Epic Pass resort options including Keystone, Breckenridge, Crested Butte and affiliate with Telluride.

When you arrive in Salt Lake City in Utah to ski at Park City you soon understand why people continue to return. From airport to resort is only 40 minutes, so once you change and strap the skis on you can be on the slopes within the hour.

Park City Mountain Resort is huge with 7,033 acres of what seems like endless terrain. No matter what area of the town or the resort you stay, access is easy and be assured even a two week holiday here will barely scratch the sides.

The Sundial Lodge at the Canyons is an ideal location with the Red Pine Gondola and Orange Bubble Express only steps away from the hotel.

Peruse the trail map and every chair has options to suit all levels. Choose the groomed run while another member skis the black run, and you all end up at the same chair with some planning.

The Tombstone Express is the perfect warm up chair offering long cruisers or widely spaced glades under the chair, before you tackle the steeper terrain of Ninety-Nine 90. Here you are presented with only black or double black options but on a powder day you will be

richly rewarded.

Move to the Park City side and a whole new world opens up and cruising takes on a new and lengthy meaning.

Chutes, glades and steeps litter the surrounding ridgelines.

Park City the town is a vibrant ski town, home to the US Ski Association and Main Street offering lively night life and restaurants.

Canada’s Whistler resort is a must visit in any skier’s lifetime. Yes, there are many Australian’s there but wow, the terrain here is in another world.

Blackcomb and Whistler mountains sitting adjacent to each other could keep you entertained for a decade. Famous runs like Blackcomb’s Saudan Couloir, Pakalolo and Spankys will have the heart racing or cruise the endless Blackcomb Glacier.

Ski Whistler Mountain’s peak to valley via the Dave Murray Downhill run and you may need to stop for another set of thighs, it is one long run. Let alone the bowls of Whistler, Glacier, West, Symphony and Harmony Bowl that will have your legs playing their own tune.

Everything about Whistler is enticing and there is ample terrain for every level. The charming village where both mountains diverge is exciting. Restaurants, bars, après and night life galore, you have it all and be assured you may never want to leave.

SERENITY: Take a ride in the horse drawn sleigh. PHOTO: SilverStar/ Jaclyn Tenamura.

We are so fortunate in the Monaro to be the home of fantastic tourism all year round. From fishing and swimming in summer, to horse riding in spring and mountain biking in autumn, the Snowy Monaro offers tourists a wonderful experience and the locals are living in one of the best places on earth.

◼

FAMILY: Jacqui Cooper and family will visit SilverStar this year.

Family Connect at SilverStar

During winter Jindabyne is spectacular and there is no better destination than the ski slopes when the snow falls. I have fond memories of my daughters learning to ski, and I always enjoy seeing the next generation hit the slopes.

I think it is an honour to share our home with the many that come to visit over winter.

I am committed to seeing more investment in improving infrastructure and facilities in Jindabyne because I know the increase in tourism has an impact on the community.

WORLD champion skier Jacqui Cooper represented Australia in the sport of aerial skiing for 20 years.

From five-time world champion to family of five, Jacqui’s spirit and enthusiasm for snow sports has only increased. But on her next venture to the slopes, she plans to bring along some extra cargo…!

“As a family we haven’t been ready to take an overseas snow trip until now,” said Cooper.

The former world champion is mother to 4-year-old twins and a 6-year-old and says, “the kids were too young to travel and appreciate what would be on offer at the other end”.

Cooper is no stranger to visiting international ski resorts having represented Australia in 139 World Cup events, nine World Championships, as well as gaining selection for five Winter Olympics teams.

Ask her where her favourite overseas destination is, and she need not think for long: SilverStar!

At the end of this year, Jacqui, Mario and their three children will be packing their bags and heading to the Canadian Resort based in Vernon, British Columbia.

“The reason we chose SilverStar is because, on previous visits when I was competing, I loved the intimate colourful village whilst being able to explore the big mountain.”

“With the kids being little, the last thing we wanted was a big village and them being overwhelmed. I want them to feel safe, comfortable and energised by the SilverStar experience.”

During the Australian winter season Jacqui and her family ski at their local resort, Mt Buller. “There are a lot of similarities between (Mt Buller and SilverStar) the resorts; they have a wonderful village atmosphere and are very kid-friendly.”

The potential is endless and I have a vision to see Jindabyne become Australia’s premier alpine region.

When people ask me about go to destinations, Jindabyne is one I will never fail to mention. The snow may draw people there, but it is the friendly nature of the area that will keep them coming back.

The NSW Government is investing in the future of Jindabyne and the region. We are consulting with the community to create a master plan that clearly captures their needs and vision for the area.

Improvements are already taking place; I recently opened the upgraded boat ramp at Widows inlet which the Government provided $650,000 towards.

This enables easier and safer access for all yearround users. Jindabyne is a desired destination and deserves the very best in resources, facilities and infrastructure. We have such a unique opportunity to harness tourism year round and create a one stop destination.

But it is not just Jindabyne we are investing in, region wide there are improvements to roads, infrastructure and services.

Bobeyan Road is key for this region; it connects Canberra to Adaminaby and Selwyn Snowfields. This is why we are investing $20 million to seal the road and encourage more tourism for Adaminaby. We will see an $18.6 million upgrade to Cooma hospital and a brand new $15 million sports complex built to service the needs of the Cooma community.

I’m proud to have been able to commit to funding projects that will deliver key services and infrastructure for the Snowy Monaro area. It is exciting times ahead for our region.

You can find more information at www.skisilverstar.com or talk to the Travelplan agents to assist with booking your SilverStar snow holiday.

For Jacqui the bonus will be SilverStar’s awardwinning kids’ program. “My children can learn from the best while I get to head out and ride the infamous ‘Okanagan Champagne Powder’.”

What is Jacqui most looking forward to on her December holiday? “The best part about snow sports and family is being able to come in after a day out in nature on the slopes and connect as a family.”

SilverStar Mountain Resort is awarded the #1 Ski Resort in the Okanagan and has long been a favourite of many Australian skiers.

The resort has such varied terrain it truly suits all levels and demographics and the kids always love the colourful village.

It is not only the skiing that the whole family enjoy.

Activities such as a horse drawn sleigh ride through the woods as snowflakes fall or the famous tube town brings added excitement to their faces.

You can join the ice hockey on the frozen lake and when the fireworks launch skyward the village lights up just as the smiles will on everyone’s face.

The kids program has multiple options from kids’ rippers program, lessons including other activities, adventure week or enrol the young ones in kids’ night out while the parents have a quiet dinner to themselves.

SilverStar is a winter wonderland in so many ways from kilometres of blue cruising runs or challenge yourself on the backside with black or double black steeper runs.

At the end of the day all runs lead you back to the cosiest village with charm and atmosphere unmatched.

Discover Canada’s Real Stoke LOCATED in British Columbia, Revelstoke Mountain Resort is Canada’s newest ski resort and after just twelve years of operation, the resort has already established a big name for itself.

Big snow, big terrain and big vertical.

Revelstoke receives an average of 10.5 metres of snowfall annually and holds the title for the most vertical in North America with a descent of 1,713 metres.

Professional skiers and snowboarders from around the world have been making the pilgrimage to Revelstoke for many years, drawn by the dramatic peaks of the Selkirk and Monashee mountains.

Heli skiing has been operating in the area since the 1970’s with four different heli ski businesses now operating: CMH Heli Skiing, Selkirk Tangiers Heli Skiing, Eagle Pass Heli Skiing and Mica Heli.

Add to the equation three different cat

ski operations plus you will find ample opportunity for backcountry touring.

With the development of Revelstoke Mountain Resort, even more skiers and riders can experience the legendary Selkirk powder.

Although Revelstoke is known for its big mountain terrain, it’s not entirely about the steep and deep. The resort has some incredible intermediate skiing, which represents 43% of its inbounds terrain.

The Ripper Zone in particular offers cruisy blue runs and well-spaced glades.

For the 2018/19 season, the resort added a new run named “Blow Down”, along with a new gladed area called “Simmer Down Glades”. For the 2019/20 season, a new fixed grip quad named “Stellar Chair” will make its debut above the Revelation Gondola. This new lift not only features a beginner terrain pod with four green runs

and two blue runs, but it also provides easier access to the Ripper Zone.

On the front side of the mountain, skiers and riders can get their corduroy fix on the iconic “Snow Rodeo”, a signature run that descends the full 1,713 metres (5,620 feet) of Revelstoke’s vertical.

But it’s not just the powder and terrain that make Revelstoke a sought after ski destination. It’s the people and the town itself that distinguish Revelstoke from other ski destinations.

In an ever-changing landscape with resort acquisitions and mergers, Revelstoke retains its unique identity.

Sure, it’s included on the Ikon Pass and Mountain Collective, but the town remains true to its roots. Pull up a chair at The Village Idiot (a must visit Revelstoke pub) and you might find yourself sandwiched between a railway conductor and a local

Win a Snowboard Every Wednesday Night IF you like Asahi beer, riding snowboards and like to win stuff, be sure to head to the Jindabyne Bowling Club each Wednesday night of the 2019 snow season.

Simply purchase an Asahi beer and receive a ticket to ride the mechanical snowboard. Show your prowess and stay on longer than anyone else and you could win a snowboard courtesy of Time to Ride snowboard shop in the Town Centre.

If you are new to the Bowling Club you can also chow down on Monday nights for their chicken wing specials, play poker on Tuesday night and maybe win some cash, they have raffles on Wednesday and Friday night plus live music Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

Brad Cox at Station Resort LOCAL singing star Brad Cox will bring his Rusty Strings tour to Jindabyne when he plays at the Station Resort on Wednesday August 7.

Cox shot to stardom when he won the Toyota Star Maker Award at the 2018 Tamworth country and music festival and has not looked back since.

His loyal following has seen him in action several times in Jindabyne, with previous concerts at the cinema sold out in quick time.

With the release of his new single Rusty Strings, you can expect the usual high energy performance and strong vocals Cox is renowned for. He has also been known to drop the occasional F bomb, so don’t be surprised what you will see. Just get there and see him along with other big name bands on the Station roster.

Tickets available from www. bradcoxofficial.com website.

Back to the Banjo ALWAYS one of the most popular Jindabyne venues, the Banjo will once again have multiple venues operating for live music and DJ’s.

July will start and finish with Jess and Sam from Roses in Hand as they bash out some tunes plus mid month see Julias Dator live. There are loads of giveaways, a great mix of DJ’S, three bars of Overflow, Muster and Clancy’s. Download the Banjo Paterson Inn App for the latest info and specials.

Thredbo Après and Concerts

◼

BOWLO: You can win a snowboard at the Jindabyne Bowling Club each Wednesday night.

◼

LOCAL: Brad Cox will play at the Station Resort.

LOOKING for great après on the slopes plus big name concerts. Thredbo has it all this year and with a revamped poolside, or should we say new Alpine Bar (the pool has been buried), expect to see July kick start 2019 with Mumm après sessions and First Base: A Vintage Après Soirée.

Client Liaison will return for a massive concert in the Village Square on August 27 so plan ahead for the biggest gig of the season.

Ask for Angela Snowy Mountains venues have re-launched the ‘Ask for Angela’ safety campaign as they prepare for the annual influx of snow season visitors.

Patrons can ask for Angela if they feel they are in a difficult or unsafe situation which will discretely let staff know that person needs help.

Staff can then assist by calling the police, organising safe transport home or referring the patron to support services “It’s great to see Snowy Mountains Liquor Accord re-launching ‘Ask for Angela’, which is already operating in Cooma and Queanbeyan,” said Deputy Premier Mr Barilaro.

Snowy Mountains Liquor Accord chair Cameron McKid said around 14 venues in Jindabyne, Perisher and Thredbo are expected to promote the campaign this snow season.

“Many patrons from all over come to the Snowy Mountains during

the ski season, and with our area’s unique weather and transport issues sometimes making it difficult to get home, it’s important that they feel safe in our licensed premises,” Mr McKid said.

“Ask for Angela’ reminds patrons that venue staff are there to help them when they may feel unsafe and help remove them from the situation.”

The campaign involves venues displaying posters and making small cards available in toilets for patrons as another option to discreetly inform staff they need help.

‘Ask for Angela’ is supported by NSW Police, Liquor & Gaming NSW and the Australian Hotels Association. Representatives of Australian Hotels Association and Liquor & Gaming NSW visited the Snowy region in June to provide venue staff with refresher training on liquor laws and responsible service of alcohol measures.

SSA Providing Clearer Pathways for Athlete Development ATHLETES coming through the Ski and Snowboard Australia (SSA) system now have a clearer pathway for the road to success.

SSA recently adopted the Sport Australia’s (SA) FTEM (Foundation, Talent, Elite and Mastery) framework, and have aligned all their pathways to follow this evidence-based approach to athlete development.

The Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) originally developed the FTEM framework to directly support these key outcomes of sport participation being; Active Lifestyle, Sports Participation, and Sporting Excellence.

The FTEM model is a fully integrated, evidence-based framework representing the Foundation, Talent, Elite and Mastery of the ‘whole of sport’ pathway journey.

In short it allows everyone to see the key features required for each stage of an athlete’s journey and provides a practical method to assist sport and athlete stakeholders (clubs and coaches) to maximise and manage athlete development.

The FTEM was discussed last year at several alpine snowsport community sessions to assist athletes and parents understand the road to success should our athletes strive for the elite level. It has been proven at elite international

level in other successful snowsport countries.

The FTEM framework consists of 3 macro stages of the skill and performance development of sporting participants, which are further differentiated into 10 micro stages.

These stages as shown in the chart include Foundations (F1, F2 and F3); Talent (T1, T2, T3 and T4); Elite (E1 and E2); and Mastery (M).

Each stage of the SSA Athlete Pathway provides an overview of athlete preparation, programs, on and off-snow development, equipment, competition, leadership and support.

It is designed to inform the community about the Pathways to High Performance, and to support all Program Providers to deliver long-term athlete development opportunities. www.skiandsnowboard.org.au.
