New board arrived. so light, so flexy. Cant wait to ride it. Got it in a 158, would've liked to ride a bit shorter but it was only available in 253mm waist width at 158, and im a size 11. Will be my first time on a reverse camber board too, cant wait! Booking in for a night at the hostel at buller opening weekend, bit of time away with the boys getting loose and boarding for 2 solid days. Other board still for sale, $250ono will sell with bindings for $500 firm Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Guys, whats the pick out of Hotham and Falls Creek or possibly Buller? Due to the severe lack of anything white in NSW, we are eying off the Vic resorts for a thrash. Which would you recomend, taking into account the terrain parks and general thrashable lines?

Havnt been to Buller, but would imagine its crazy on the weekends being the closest to melb

Yeah, we know nothings there yet, but I've got odds on Vic getting a ridable cover first. It's only another 200k's or so to get to those 2, and Perisher strugles for terain early in the season

Got a txt from buller today saying they have had a 30cm dump. Shaping up nicely! Better take the "off season" wax coat off and melt the riding wax on.
