    Nice to see the cams showing white instead of brown/green all over the place.  Might even get a lift operating in Vic soon!!

    Foxpuppet - How did the Uninc hold up in the Jap pow?

    Have all Vic resorts been closed since the opening? i think we may get a flurry in Canberra.

    Snowplay only, Buller fired up the magic carpet on Burke St for a day but thats it.  Hotham has officially opened up Big D for riding this afternoon - Hopefully there will be more open for riding by the weekend!

    Re: Aus/NZ Riders

    They haven't invested in the guns like Perisher, or is the lift base too low like Thredbo?

    Re: Aus/NZ Riders

    the uninc went super well, i was stoked with it...although i already rode my old uninc there 2 years ago, same size just minus the est setup. but yeah its one sick little puppy (or kitten) now its gonna get hacked riding here compared to the deep stuff over there. i rode for a month and its hardly got a mark on it. (i didn't hold back at all on it too)

    Re: Aus/NZ Riders

    Nice.  When I was in Jap Jan 07 I rode my Vapor which held up well, but the nose certainly dipped in the deep deep.  Planning another trip and never ridden a pow specific board before....would love a Malolo with ICS...but being here in OZ buying a pow board seems like overkill.  I'm kinda hoping the extra (sorry infinite) stance options on the Uninc (ridiculous lack of on the Vapor) and the extra nose width and Wu-idge will provide a little extra float.

    Re: Aus/NZ Riders

    Niseko last time, looking at the Nagano prefecture for January 09, maybe Nozawa Onsen or Hakuba.  Niseko was great, but it looks like more terrain around Nagano and its always good to check different mountains.

    Looks like you guys are getting some in NZ already - nice.  Its starting to come together over here, it kinda sucks getting hyped over 22cms at Buller but having said that, I still can't wait to get up there and get in a few runs on the new Uninc and check the Extra Sensory Experience.

    Re: Aus/NZ Riders

    I'm sitting in my office with the hangover of a mild concussion, slight whiplash, bruised ribs, well sore lower back, goggle sunburn and a big goofy smile that won't go away - Buller was on yesterday!  First sunny day in a month - mini-park madness!!   It hurts to laugh and poo.

    Re: Aus/NZ Riders

    weekend at perisher was awesome, on sunday we did the entire mountain...something i have never done before in a day. that including riding both double black (scoff...not really that deserving of the rating...more to scare off noobs) runs which involve hiking to get to em. then some o/b runs at Mount P till the end of the day.
    on a sad note. 3 people died there on sunday. 2 skiers after riding into trees in different areas...and one backcountry guy who went down in a big avvy after getting onto an unstable cornice which broke off and took him down with it. they took a groomer out there from the resort to get his body which was down 3 metres.

    Re: Aus/NZ Riders

    Hey all,

    Long time - no type. Been busy and my job is outside - no computer. Have just been promoted back inside :)

    Haven't been riding since Japan in Feb - wife went to Hotham for the Burton launch and had a great time. She also got to go to the Travis Rice premiere and hang with him and the Quiksilver people afterwards. I got to stay home and work. I think I'm in the wrong job.
