The First Word WHAT a cracking start to the 2018 snow season, the best there has been since the legendary 2000 season. In case you missed it, “Stormin Norman” as Thredbo labelled the storm came raging through with blizzard conditions, very cold weather and more importantly over 85cm of snow. If you have any friends name Norman, thank them now if you are planning a snow visit this season as it truly transformed the mountains in one week. On top of this great start the resorts have been pumping out snowmaking and as we start the month of the July the resorts are nearly fully open and operational. From such a great start what do we have to look forward to in 2018. Well first off with most of the terrain open school holidays are going to be great with crowds spread out across the slopes. When the next storm arrives, it will be snowing on top of a great base and the mountain managers will be fine tuning all the terrain to make for some great riding. After such a good start this is the perfect season to think about new skis. We have a great guide in the

Debut album and tour

Jae Haydon tribute Jindabyne lost one of the real good guys in April this year when musician Jae Haydon passed away in a surfing accident in Bali. Jae was always in demand to play each winter in Thredbo, Perisher and Jindabyne. Here is a nice tribute from friend and Jindabyne Bowling Club, Operations Manager, Nick Hind. “Our good friend Jae has been a big part of the lives of everyone who visits the mountains each winter, performing his unique blend of punk, pop, hip-hop and Americana at venues all around the mountains. He will be especially missed at the club, where he has been the voice of Monday Wing Night for the past five years, entertaining the crowds with his music, banter and Ray Warren impersonations. I first met Jae in the Winter of 2008 where we worked together as lift operators for Perisher, Jae was an outstanding snowboarder and we soon discovered, a talented singer and musician. Over the next few years Jae was able to reduce his workload with Perisher and build his fan base around Jindabyne and in 2013 he began playing at the club each Monday night after the footy. From there crowds

grew and grew, turning Mondays at the club into the biggest night of the week! Jae’s set list grew too, he wanted to learn every song that was requested, and his fans had plenty of them.” Monday nights at the club are always going to be great, but they will miss Jae for sure. So spare a thought every Monday night when you are chowing down on the wings and swilling jugs of beer plus listening to tunes from all the other talented pool of Jindabyne musicians. The Banjo in Jindabyne are also hosting a tribute night to Jae on July 27.

JINDABYNE musician Brad Cox has certainly had a stellar rise on the country music scene this year. Not only did Brad walk away with the Toyota Star Maker Award at the Tamworth country music awards, he has released his first album and kickstarted his debut album tour to a sold-out crowd in Jindabyne on June 28. “It’s really humbling to know that my hometown is right behind what I am getting up to, and it’s great to be able to kick off this tour in jindy,” said Brad. He said it was a good feeling to have released the debut album after working on this project for about three years. “It’s nice to show my fans what I have been hearing for the last couple of years.” The national tour will see Brad travel from Victoria to Queensland and Northern Territory, plus accumulate

thousands of kilometres in his new Toyota that was part of the Star Maker package. “I sure do have some kilometres to do, it makes it a little easier when Toyota are shouting the fuel this year. Thanks Toyota.” Leading up to the tour Brad has played in Western Australia supporting Adam Eckersley and Brooke McClymont which he said was unreal but now he is straight into his album tour and all systems go. Once he leaves Jindabyne it will be a revisit to Tamworth to play at the Hats Off to Country festival before hitting the road. “It should be a really fun festival, definitely looking forward to getting back there. You can follow Brad and buy his debut album at www.bradcoxofficial.com.

Nature play activities PARENTS have the perfect opportunity for kids’ outdoor adventures at Yarrangobilly Caves this school holidays. Not only are Yarrangobilly offering all their wonderful cave experiences but have introduced a range of new WilderQuest Nature Play activities. The Nature Play activities are open ended, driven by children’s interests and the natural elements. They provide the opportunity to take challenges, explore new places, understand risk taking and do things independently, so that they learn from their own experiences. Little Caves for Little Kids. Children test their climbing, crawling and balancing skills as they explore some of the smaller wild caves with the creek and forest between them. They particularly love constructing their own bridges across the

creek and balancing on fallen tree trunks. They also adventure through the Big Rock and Meat Safe Caves, before really testing their abilities with the Little Chimney Climb and Glory Scramble. Bake & Bushcraft give children the chance to learn basic bush skills and cook their own morning tea on a camp ďŹ re. They explore the valley’s creek and forest and identify the tracks and scats of the animals living there and then cook morning tea, construct bush shelter and create their own land art. The theme of ‘we’re going on a bug hunt’ was an absolute hit during the Autumn school holidays with parents giving rave reviews of how their children thoroughly enjoyed the day. These activities for 5-12-year olds are perfect for parents to provide their children the opportunity to explore the natural world

whilst learning through play and discovery. Staff provide qualiďŹ ed supervision, freeing parents to go on their own cave tour or enjoy the picnic area in peace. Groups with 10 children or more can book a private experience, which is a great option for people staying onsite in the Yarrangobilly accommodation, or for a unique and engaging birthday party. Activates go ahead in rain, hail or shine as Yarrangobilly believe there is no bad weather only bad clothing choices! Children will need to wear boots with sufďŹ cient grip and warm, waterproof clothes that can get dirty and wet. They also need a backpack containing a bottle of water, beanie and gloves. It is essential that parents bring a change of clothes, socks and shoes as well as snacks for after the activity. Be early for any cave or nature play booking as some tours are limited numbers.

The need for speed RECORDS are set to be broken and world water speed record holder Ken Warby would like nothing better than for son Dave to break his record. Set in October 1978 on Blowering Dam in Tumut, the Spirit of Australia’s 511.11kmh (317.60 mph) record still stands today some 40 years later. Dave Warby has been trialling on Blowering Dam with his boat Spirit of Australia 2 and in late May reached over 200 miles per hours (322kmh) for the first time. “It was really good, we did have some minor problems on the weekend, but we’ve managed to touch 200 (mph) and that’s what we’re happy about and that what’s

we really wanted to do this weekend,” said Dave. He said the team will make minor modifications to push it faster and make it a little bit easier to drive going through those speeds. “It still feels a bit heavy on the front of the boat, that may come out with another 100mph of air under the front of it, we’ll muck around with it and get it right.” The team have invested over $250,000 so far and require another five to six test runs before they go for the record. They will return in August to Tumut, and then plan from there. You can follow the teams progress via Facebook at Warby Motorsport - Spirit 2 - The Fastest Team on Water.

Australian Alpine Racing Review AUSTRALIAN alpine and skier cross athletes will have a revised pathway through the ranks to the elite level after a comprehensive evaluation and recommendation by new Ski & Snowboard (SSA) Alpine Director Mick Branch. Mr Branch said the main purpose was to undertake a complete review of the Australian Alpine system for the development of athletes and re-examine the goals of alpine. Part of the equation was to look at best practice from around the world and in other sports and make a series of recommendations for future implementation. After being appointed to the position in July 2017, Branch has set about understanding why

Australia have not produced more elite skiers, especially in the alpine discipline. We have strong athletes in skier cross as was highlighted by Sami Kennedy-Sim at the Winter Olympics. Head Olympic Winter Institute Skier Cross Coach Shawn Fleming was involved in the review with Mr Branch. In a 17-page report submitted at the end of last winter and accepted by the SSA board and other key parties, the changes will largely come into effect this 2018 Australian season. There is a new defined athlete pathway and one of the many changes will see removal of early season SSA children’s races from the racing calendar. This will allow junior racers to concentrate

more on skills development. There will still be the usual resort scheduled races. Mr Branch said this will see SSA work closely not only with the Australian race club programs, but also resort ski schools to shift the emphasis towards an increased focus on skill acquisition from a young age. “Additionally, the focus on athletic development shifts from pure physical benchmarking to increased physical literacy with education and exposure to best practices at age appropriate phases,” said Branch. “These changes are informed by evidencebased research and are supported by the AIS.” Historically there has been an unwillingness to take ownership towards long term outcomes from the club level of the sport. Coupled with community and clubs shared short term focus rather than long term development, this has hindered the need for a cultural shift within the sport. On completion of the 2017 review the main recommendations were to create an SSA Children’s Development Watchlist (not publicly published) to identify potential athletes rather than selecting an SSA national children’s team or squad. By removing the national children’s squad, it will take away the emphasis on race results rather than developing long term skill. A revision of the national alpine ski team selection will also take place to reflect aspirational milestones and realistic benchmarks. A restructure of the early season races to will

Snowy Mountains Magazine - 2018 - 12

allow for more skill development rather than more races. The SSA children’s series has now been scheduled in September at Thredbo for 2018 as the SSA Children’s Carnival. The FIS races for older racers will happen across the same dates at Perisher this year. This will also alleviate costs for families associated with attending multiple races across the resorts during winter and allow more on snow training for athletes. SSA and the National Alpine Committee view the Australian race clubs as a valuable key to delivering best practices and all program directors from the six core alpine race clubs met in June for an SSA Alpine Club Workshop. Mr Branch said the workshops were aimed to assist clubs to better understand how to implement key strategies from the SSA Alpine & Ski Cross Review and for clubs to understand their roles and responsibilities within the Alpine Pathway. The workshops also provided valuable insight into how SSA can better support our Australian Race Clubs and the community. SSA will introduce a club recognition scheme to ensure all clubs are working in line with the national vision and best practices. Education will also be implemented with coaches of young athletes and parents to show the long-term success of skills development. Now that the Australian Alpine Vision has a structured pathway, let’s hope with support for alpine and ski cross athletes they can develop more champion skiers.

Best start

since 2000 SEASON 2018 is officially the best start since the legendary 2000 season with the snow depth reading nudging above where 2000 was at a similar date. While the big snow may have been a week late in coming for the opening weekend, a week-long storm with blizzard conditions has seen 84 cm fall at Perisher and 87 cm fall at Thredbo by June 19. The Snowy Hydro snow depth reading at Spencers Creek on Monday June 18 was 76.4cm. In comparison the 2000 season started earlier with a June 8 snow depth of 77.1cm, then rising again to 78.2cm on June 22. This storm has set the season up perfectly and has transformed the mountains significantly in one week, plus great timing with the July school holidays looking to be awesome snow. As we went to print, Perisher were planning to open all four resorts with 32 lifts by Saturday June 23. At Thredbo Gunbarrel Chair was offering skiing on High Noon, The Cruiser and Friday Flat were open and the Supertrail, Antons and The Basin T-bar will open by June 23. With cold temperatures and added snowmaking in the coming weeks, we could not have asked for anything better in June. Here is a snippet of images from the resorts during the storm.

DURING his ski instructor career, Jindabyne Brewing’s found Karl Veiss made thousands of left and right turns, but he thinks this might just be the best “right turn” he has ever made when he, father Eric and mate Max Cook expanded the brewery. Jindabyne Brewing started out as a hobby funded by skiing in the Veiss family Kalkite garage before it was elevated to the next level in its current location. Karl and Max are both level 4 instructors and level 3 examiners with the Australian Professional Snowsport Instructors, and Eric a level 3 instructor. Between them they are no slouch when it comes to carving a decent ski turn. Eric still instructs at Thredbo where has been for 13 years, but now it is only for the busy school holidays. “I will do ten days up there this school holidays, I love it, and I still want to keep in touch (instructing),” said Eric. Karl said working around the world skiing was just a lot of fun, and he should know having spent back to back winters for over seven years and a total of 18 seasons teaching skiing. Resort names like Canyons (now Park City), Aspen, Špindler v Mlýn in the Czech Republic and Fiss in Austria certainly have a nice ring to them. Along the route Karl would admit he was sampling beer products all the time so he could educate his palette. “There’s always reward in seeing people progress, and to see people share their first ski experience and see them come back again and again, you create relationships beyond skiing,” said Karl. “It becomes more than just a job, it becomes a lifestyle that you share with people.” “When the hobbies that were funded

by teaching skiing started to require more time and more money, we had to make a decision,” said Karl talking about the expansion. “This hobby definitely got out of hand and it just kind of happened. There was always a need through parties at home and hosting other ski instructors that we needed more tank space and a bigger brewery. “Then we decided to make the big jump when people were liking it, it’s the gamble but so far it is working well and we are looking to expand in the future.” Max Cook started his skiing life in Switzerland as a child which was not far from his home country of England. His first year teaching was in Gstaad, one of the most expensive resorts in Switzerland. “That was like a gap year and then I got roped into coming down to Australia for the off season with the intention of racing back

to make the first month of Uni, and I just didn’t. I went back to Switzerland and here we are now,” said Max. Max spent his first Australian season at Mt Selwyn before moving to Thredbo for four winters from 2007. Northern Hemisphere seasons seen him in ski boots for most of the year before becoming a partner in the brewing. “Yes and no, I do miss skiing when its good, the good parts of skiing. I have the luxury of choosing when I can do that now, but on the other hand I loved summer. I haven’t had summer for the good part of ten years, so I am actually really enjoying that at the moment, mountain biking and water sports.” “It surprised all of us since the word go. It’s just been over a year since the bar opened and we are very far ahead of where we thought we would be. Summer has been massive and a lot of local support and lots of

tourists coming into town.” “Locally amongst Jindabyne, Perisher and Thredbo we have had great support from both the locals as patrons here,” said Karl. “Also the businesses, who are more than willing to support us and help us grow and we’ve got a lot of venues in this area particularly and we are looking to grow into Canberra in the future, next summer. “We were so busy we had to make a few changes to our licence which we have done, so we are able to cater for more people.” The brewery has four beers in their standard range and two seasonal beers they change around, so there is always beers revolving in the brew house. The most popular beers are Golden Ale by a pint over the Pilsner, and you can taste these for yourself at Jindabyne Brewing in Nettin Circuit or one of the many local bars that stock the beers.

In The Chair

with Ed Denny

By Steve Cuff

EACH month Snowy Mountains Magazine will interview an interesting Snowy Mountains character for a quick insight into their mountain life. We put them In The Chair and ask them key questions on how it all came about. This edition we talk to Ed Denny, owner The Denman Hotel at Thredbo. Q. Ed, you have an accent, where are you from and how did you get to Australia. A. I was born in Glasgow and lived there until I was 15 years old. I ran away to sea actually, not that my parents agreed with that move. I was a merchant seaman for five years and wanted to see the world. My first visit to Australia was a sight I will never forget. It was 1962 and it was so beautiful for us nobody spoke sailing up the harbour. We were all in awe and wow, look at this place. We were going to number 1 Balmain to pick up coal. Q. What other parts of Australia did you see? A. I spent ten months sailing the Western Australia coast and visiting the ports and Christmas Island. Q. What are some of your fond memories of that time sailing and in Australia? A. In Freemantle I saw people surfing and I thought I would like to try that. So, in the evening I unscrewed all the wooden ironing boards as they looked the same shape, and the next afternoon I went down and did the same as them diving in and I went splat. I thought this is wood it should float and the surfers were wetting themselves. One guy said I have a spare board on the car and gave me a few rudimentary lessons and while on

the coast I made great friends and learned how to ride a surfboard. Q. So were you an immigrant straight away? A. No, I went back to Scotland for five years and applied to migrate to Australia and I ended up coming here in 1966. Q. What did you do for work when you arrived? A. I had a series of odd jobs and then I joined Qantas airways. I started off as a flight steward and Australia being what it is, the opportunity, I ended up in the Qantas management group. I was one of the ten people in the management group, and I don’t say it boastfully, I just say it really humbly, wow how much support you get in this country. I was with Qantas for 25 years. Q. During that time had you ever visited Thredbo and did you ski? A. I became a keen skier when I watched the Jean Claude-Killy in the 1968 Grenoble Olympics and I thought he is doing aright. That looks like a good thing to do and went for a holiday to Austria and booked myself into skis school, and it became a wonderful habit. Q. When did you first come to Thredbo? A. 1972 was my first year and I was skiing, trying to ski and I just loved it. I eventually became a member of Schuss Ski Club and I used to go every year. I used to take my annual holidays skiing in Europe as well. Q. How did you end up in Thredbo and buy the Denman? A. I loved skiing so much I always had this notion going through my head that it would be really nice to live in a ski resort. So, I set

myself a goal to have a business in the snow. And that’s how I came to buy the Denman. When I was a member of Schuss, I used to walk past here every day and never even noticed it and then someone said this place was for sale so I bought it in 2003. Q. What is it like running a prominent ski lodge in Thredbo? A. It’s Fantastic and you are in an environment you love, and you can share it with people. You are creating something, and you enjoy it, so your guests enjoy it and the staff enjoy it. It is not work, and someone once said, ‘do what you love and you will never work a day in your life’. Q. What’s the key to The Denman Hotel Ed? A. You can’t succeed at this unless you have family around you, and an extended

family of staff, they are so important and it’s what make the hotel. I oversee the workings of the hotel and I like to meet the guests. We have two bars and a restaurant, so it is good to get around and I love to be the host and meet the guests. Q. Do you enjoy the skiing still? A. Yes, I love it. Skiing is one of those things where you think you are alright until you fall flat on your face. My warmup slope is always the basin and then I try to ski wherever and when ever I can. Q. How is life in Thredbo year-round? A. People always think Australians are all for the beach, but they are coming here now. Mountain biking has seen a great influx but there are people coming to experience the alps.

THREDBO

Best day ever – Torah’s mini shred

SMILING faces is a sure way to know you’re having fun, and with Winter Olympic champion Torah Bright leading the way all the kids certainly have beaming faces. The Torah Bright Mini Shred day at Thredbo is one of the most popular days for kids, where Torah and a group of her coaching and professional friends give tips and advice to all the kids in an exclusive mini terrain park on Friday Flat. The idea of the day is all about inspiring the next generation of riders, and Torah and the coaches give under 18 intermediate riders the chance to shred with their friends and have some super fun. 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. Combine this with a roll call of Aussie snow stars who line up to assist and mentor on the day, the kids describe it as – the BEST DAY EVER…. “Seeing the talent level of these little Aussie shredders was amazing…It was awesome to share advice, tips and the stoke with all the kids and have snow flurries falling all day long…absolutely magical,” said Olympic gold and silver medallist

Torah Bright on the 2017 session. The youngsters certainly have endless energy and enthusiasm for the day, and the coaches seem to be having just as much fun. Most of the pros and coaches would remember they were in the same situation when they were young, and who knows what champions they are helping for the future. For everyone on the day there’s a signing session with Torah and her snow pro friends, a sausage sizzle, DJ and giveaways thanks to Roxy and Rhythm Snow Sports. The event is free, but you do have to register. To can sign up and be part of the winter’s coolest snow event and to secure a spot visit thredbo.com.au.

The happy wanderer WHEN you visit a snow resort you may be oblivious to all the jobs going on behind the scenes, after all you are in vacation mode and don’t need to know. Any given resort has many people who can apply their hand to anything, and at Thredbo, Brendan Wholohan is one of those folk. Although if you asked some his newer workmates where Brendan is they may look at you rather strange as everyone knows him as “Chippy”. Having done his apprenticeship in carpentry in Sydney, he did not initially receive his moniker through timber work. He did say one of his earlier nicknames was ‘Hot Lips’ after the TV show MASH, where a buxom blonde Miss Wholohan was aptly named. But when he arrived in Thredbo as a lifty in 2001, and then returned for good in 2004 the name eventually changed, and Chippy has stuck. Having grown up in Sydney with a family who spent most of their holidays in Thredbo he was no stranger to his surroundings when he arrived for his first full season. His father was an early member of the Happy Wanderers lodge and his family spent many weekly holidays skiing, so in some ways Chippy was nearly destined to be a Thredbo person. “I grew up skiing and when I was about 13

snowboards started appearing on the scene. Being a skateboarder and surfer that sort of tickled my fancy a little bit. I went back to skiing again but now just snowboard,” he said At Thredbo he spent a few more years as a lifty before his role changed to making snow at night. “I worked as a snowmaker in 2006 and Mountain Manager Werner offered me the mountain gopher role,” he said. The official title comes under Mountain Operations and is easily described as you do everything, in amongst going here and going there. That could be from fixing snowmaking equipment or helping on the mountain with any chore. Now his official title is Building and Maintenance Supervisor, but that does not mean he is restricted to only building work. He did however have a hand in building the community bell structure at the top of Karels T-bar that is on the cover this month. What most people would be pleased to know is Chippy is one of a small team who let off the fireworks every Saturday night and Thursday for the kids’ twilight skiing and flare run. The fireworks have been synonymous with Thredbo for decades, and people pile out of their lodges and the bars to see the event. They never fail to disappoint as Chippy and his companions Shane Mcleod and Daniel

Redman send the rockets sky bound as crowds gather and await the boom. They are impressive, and you are always guaranteed an extended fireworks display that seems to last forever. You need to hold an explosives licence for the fireworks and as part of the ‘gopher’ role Chippy soon came under former Mountain Manager Pete Tomasi’s wing. Here he learnt the art of fireworks and has been at it ever since with Shane and new arrival Daniel. “Between the three of us, rain hail or shine the show must go on,” said Chippy when asked about varying weather and if it affects the fireworks. “Having had an adventurous youth back in the day, you could go to the corner shop and buy fireworks, I would go and get the paper for dad and if the paper was 80 cents I would buy some jumping jacks or something with the change,” he said with a cheeky smile. With that statement you could think he is now in his element where he can work in a place others holiday, ride his snowboard on days off and on occasions to a job on the hill, and he gets to set up the show and send up the fireworks. “No matter how old you get, fireworks never get old, so if I can be involved in it and be a part of it that is really cool.” Thursday and Saturday are fireworks nights. On Saturday two fireworks initiate the flare run on the Supertrail and then once all the skiers reach the bottom all eyes look for the colour to fill the sky and the big show.

Hatted chef for Candlelight HATS a rare thing to acquire in the restaurant industry, but Candlelight Lodge’s new chef Simon Palmer has been fortunate enough to have surrounded his career with establishments that have been hatted restaurants. Starting out in Newcastle Simon said he worked in Bacchus as a newly qualiďŹ ed chef which was one of the ďŹ rst restaurants in Newcastle to win a hat. “I then worked down here at the Candlelight in 2009-2010 for winters only,â€? said Simon where he worked under head chef Greg Harrison. His travels seen him move back to Newcastle and then a big move to Urbane Restaurant in Brisbane. “It was good training as it was a three hatted restaurant at that stage, it was like a multifaceted restaurant with three dining areas and on the busiest night we could do 350 covers.â€? This experience lasted for over two years before moving onto Gerard’s Bistro where he was a junior sous chef for nearly two and a half years. “In that time we won best restaurant in Queensland.â€? When asked about the coincidence of places he worked being bestowed the greatest hat honours, Simon said it was just a direction of more serious cooking and surrounding yourself with a better pedigree of people. “Once I ďŹ nished at Gerard’s I was approached to become head chef at a place called e’cco bistro in Brisbane with Philip Johnson. I was head chef there for about three years and the ďŹ rst year we got two hats.â€? “It was a really good opportunity and Phil let us have the reins. I was the ďŹ rst chef to write the menus, he normally wrote the menus. He said you write the menus and do the food and I will kind of mentor you and point you in the direction.â€?

Simon said to win a hat you need have the complete package, source good product, technique, execution, consistent and a bit innovative in the way you create the experience. The viewers seem to gravitate towards that. He has returned to Candlelight as head chef with partner Elizabeth and 16 month old daughter Ivy. They wanted to regain some balance in their life after the city restaurant scene. “The brief from John and Meagan (owners) was they didn’t want to lose the heart of Candlelight with trying to modernise it too much, as that’s what people come here for. We want to keep all the fondues which are classic to Candlelight, I think it is great to be able to do those things, they are really satisfying food.� “Now we just want to give quality back again. We want to source really nice product and introduce quality and let everyone know when they come in it is nice and tasty and a bit of variety as well. “The share dishes we have been getting some good feedback on them. We are thinking for the big family groups with a variety of meat and garnishes and share dishes down the table.� With Simon on board year-round, Candlelight are planning to open this summer and be a year round restaurant. “We have some ideas around the summer, we want to do a couple of wine dinners and things like that, where they can stay for the weekend.� Chef dinners might also be on the horizon with Simon inviting some of his chef friends to attend at various times. Candlelight restaurant and bar is open 7 nights and located at Bella’s Corner intersection in the heart of Thredbo.

Supertrail delights

THREDBO

VISITORS this season may see a few changes at eateries on the mountain, with Eagles Nest now changing hands and being run by the Thredbo company. With these changes comes a change of menu for Eagles Nest. So, we thought we would run through all the Supertrail eateries to give you a quick guide on where the best venues might be to stop for either morning coffee, lunch or just a cold beer. Eagles Nest Restaurant will see an all-new menu for the 2018 winter season, with a focus on hearty and healthy Franco-Italian fare with local flare. Designed by Executive Chef Kane

Stamp, breakfast will be available from 9am with a variety of egg options, deluxe breakfast rolls and smoked salmon corn fritter bowls. From 11am lunch will be on offer, with antipasto platters, bruschetta and “choose your own pasta” by Segreto. Mains will include a 1kg Brookland Valley T-bone, dryaged for 48 days and a tantalising Osso Bucco, with a rich tomato ragout and creamy polenta. A variety of pizzas, salads and sides will also be available at Australia’s highest restaurant at 1937m. Bullwheel Bar & Diner (directly underneath), will showcase an American-

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

infused mountain diner and will be the perfect stop off for hungry skiers and boarders. With New York dogs, a classic Rueben, jalapeno poppers and buffalo wings, the American themed menu will also host a range of imported and local beers in cans, steins or bottles and play classic American tunes. Next stop is Black Sallees Mountain Bistro at the top of Snowgums Chair and just below Eagles Way pitch on the Supertrail. With a great deck for alfresco dining, stop in and see Captain Sandy as he mans the ship. This venue may be overlooked as you schuss past, but the food is great with all the usual staples of snow revellers, bacon and egg rolls and great burgers and German beer on tap. Plus, their coffee and cakes are enough to have return the following day.

Now strap on your skis on and make a few turns over to the ski in-ski out Kareela Hutte. Beware there have been known to be the “occasional” extended lunch and the venue is perfect for alfresco on a sunny day or reserve a table for lunch. Good for a coffee stop and cake or European influenced menu and of course schnapps and champagne to accompany great lunch. Crank out some long turns and you are now at the bottom of the Supertrail and one longest runs in Australia. Should you need a rest you will see some nice relaxing chairs at Avalanche Café that will also offer great coffee, delicacies from the bakery including great meat pies. You can eat at the base of the chair where it is ideal to wait for friends or walk downstairs to the café itself on ground level.

Dining Guide

Thredbo Village

CASCADES RESTAURANT

Ph 6459 4200 Located in the Thredbo Alpine Hotel, Cascades Restaurant is a true mountain dining experience with stunning views. Claiming the biggest breakfast in Thredbo, the buffet is extensive and delicious, or grab a quick and tasty takeaway bacon and egg roll before you hit the slopes. Move onto dinner and enjoy Executive Chef Kane Stamp’s menu with a focus on fresh produce, tender meats and delectable desserts. The Snowy Mountains goat cheese soufflé is one to remember, whilst the oysters, mussels and scallops are fresh from the south coast. The winter mac ‘n cheese with truffle pecorino is a tasty side, as is the salt baked baby beetroot. Food combinations here are delicious - think gnocchi with duck, local trout with miso caramel or veal cotoletta. Kids welcome.

CANDLELIGHT LODGE

Ph 6457 6318 New chef Simon Palmer is adding his own personal touch to the Candlelight menu while at the same time keeping all the house favourites that Candlelight have been renowned for. For starters try the Tyrolean grostl or seared scallops with smoked cauliflower, salmon tartare or the tasty braised pork belly. For a main dish marinated spatchcock, roasted pork cutlet and char-grilled wagyu rump will be mixed with traditional Swiss alpine dishes of Fondue and Raclette. The kids will love the fondue as they dip into the melting cheese. The shared dishes have been popular early winter with whole stuff chicken, and whole roasted lamb shoulder. For dessert the chocolate fondant with honey comb and vanilla ice cream will win over the kids.

BLACK BEAR INN THE DENMAN

Ph 6457 6222 Après time in the bar is a stylish end to a snowy day. Classic cocktails or those with a quirk such as First Snowfall, Dr Snowball and We Ride at Dawn will have you going back for more, while a wine by the fire is a true pleasure in this inviting space, open from 4.30pm each day. Snacks include ribs, subs and chips. Open 7 days a week from 6pm, The Terrace Restaurant offers a unique dining experience against the backdrop of the mountains. The seasonal menu changes to showcase the best of regional and seasonal produce, often showcasing local trout, duck and the well-loved 12 hour slow roasted lamb shoulder. Entrees include mouthwatering treats of salmon gravalax, beef cheek ravioli and crispy pork belly.

Ph 6457 6216 Open 7 days a week from 5pm each day for après, this mountain institution is the place to head for a drink and European influenced dining. Start off with some tasty appetisers such as the salmon plate or three cheese bread. Warming minestrone, pork cutlets, confit duck, mussels or the trio of schnitzels make for a hard dinner decision, whilst the perfect steak with porcini mushroom butter is always a good idea. Delicious desserts including the Wildbrumby gin and lemon cheesecake or apple and muscatel strudel. The bar is a great place to share tales from the slopes in this traditional European Tyrolean style lodge. Children can select from the Bear Cubs menu which all include ice cream and choice of flavourings.

BERNTI’S

Ph 6457 6332 Staying on the snow is as much about skiing as it is about dining, and the new tradition at Thredbo and a culinary hot-spot is Zack’s Grill for some fine-dining. Take a highlyprized table with views that stretch forever, sit back and enjoy our chef Lucas Cook’s modern Australian fare. Fresh local and regional produce, succulent Sapphire Coast oysters, lake caught perch or grass-fed beef. Lucas brings serious substance to his menu with refined and indulgent platings, all accompanied by world class wines. Start with house oven-baked Rosemary Garlic Focaccia and a bed of Native Australian finger lime pearl Oysters + flying fish roe, continue with the Crispy Crackly Pork Belly or the Viking Cutlet. Finish with Berntis Banoffee Board with Cookie crumbs, rich caramel, banana cream, chocolate ganache and vanilla floss.

THE LOCAL PUB

Ph 6459 4200 Open everyday from 11am, the lunch, après, happy hour and $25 cocktail jugs make this a popular dining and watering hole. Guests can dine until 9pm so it’s a good spot for families looking for a great value dinner out. Share plates to start include appetite satisfiers such as potato skins, nachos and cheesy fries. With the largest deck area in Thredbo, sunny days in the snow have a new meaning where you can also quench your thirst with a Kosciuszko Pale Ale. The traditional pub grub ranges from burgers, pasta, steak and chicken parmigiana, through to pot pies, curry, laksa and lamb shanks. And there is always room for a traditional apple pie or the chocolate ooze cake with raspberries right? You’ve earned it.

SANTÉ CHURRASCO THE VILLAGE BAKERY

Aussies love a good bakery, and what better way to start your day than to visit The Bakery in the Village Square for your freshly baked favourites. Open from 7am, the bakery serves fresh bread including house specials such as rye, fruit loaf and sourdough. The coffee is good, whilst in-house baked treats such as croissants, baguettes or bacon and egg rolls are certainly popular. When the lunch crowd arrive, the favourite choices are always the varying array of meat pies, but don’t discount the salad and turkey rolls, seasonal soup in a bread bowl, ham and cheese croissants and tasty sausage rolls. Enjoy an afternoon pick me up at ‘cappy hour’ with $1 off coffee everyday between 2-3pm.

Snowy Mountains Magazine - 2018 - 25

Ph 6457 6083 In a convenient village location, Sante Churrasco offers authentic Brazilian styled BBQ at a per head price so you can choose from a selection of all the dishes right there at your table. Just give them the green light indicator (literally!) and the protein comes to you on large skewers, carved to order by the gauchos. Delectable cuts of beef, pork, chorizo, chicken, seafood, lamb and a vegetarian option too mean Santé caters to everyone’s tastes. With an extensive wine menu and a tasty array of side dishes, you will enjoy this unique style of restaurant having earned it after a big day on the mountain. Finish off with churros (of course) or the Brazilian banana split with dulce de leche. Bookings essential.

New Foundation participation trophy THE AMELIA McGuiness Australian Snowsports Development Foundation (AMASDF) has been a huge supporter of junior athletes by way of scholarships. The Foundation is dedicated to raising funds to provide financial support for upand-coming winter snowsports able and disabled athletes from the age of 10 to 18 years old. Operating through the NSW Snowsports (NSW Ski Association Ltd), with support for its initiatives from NSW Snowsports Discipline Committees, Ski and Snowboard Australia (SSA), and Interschools Australia, the AMASDF has awarded $183 810 in individual Snowsports Scholarships in the eight years since the Foundation was established, At 16 years of age, Amelia McGuiness’ tragic death in a skiing accident affected us all. Amelia was a gift to all who were fortunate to have known her. She was a passionate and experienced skier, as are all her family. As a tribute to Amelia the “Amelia McGuiness Australian Snowsports Development Foundation”

(AMASDF) was established. Since its inception in 2010, AMASDF has supported nine 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics athletes (including two medal winners) through its scholarship program being; Jakara Anthony, Belle Brockhoff, Rohan Chapman-Davies, Britt Cox, Matt Graham, Claudia Gueli, Jarryd Hughes, Adam Lambert and Greta Small. With the assistance of the NSW Interschools Committee, NSWXC Committee and NSW Freestyle Committee, three events will provide athletes with the perfect opportunity to practice for alpine, snowboard GS, moguls and Cross Country events before the NSW State Interschools Championships in late August. With the introduction of the new Amelia McGuiness NSW Freestyle Junior Series the AMASDF is excited to announce the inaugural Amelia McGuiness Foundation Participation Trophy. The Amelia McGuiness Australian Snowsports Development Foundation Participation Trophy will be awarded to the Primary School and Secondary School with

Order of Australia Medal - OAM WHEN the Queen’s Birthday honours were announced in June, two people who are heavily linked to the Snowy Mountains and Snowy Monaro were named for their contributions to their industry. James LitchďŹ eld from the Hazeldean stud in Cooma and Donna Baker who started the interschools skiing were both awarded the Order of Australia Medal (OAM). JAMES LITCHFIELD

The LitchďŹ eld family are synonymous in Australia for their Merino sheep with James’ great grandfather, James LitchďŹ eld

Ĺś

James LitchďŹ eld in the wool sheds at Hazeldean in June.

starting the empire in 1862. Mr LitchďŹ eld, now 91 who still ventures into the woolsheds on occasions said it was a “very nice surpriseâ€? to have been awarded the OAM. Both he and wife Barbara still live on the property in Cooma. “We were fortunate each generation was heading in the same direction and had the same ideas about the Merino and cattle,â€? said Mr LitchďŹ eld. The photo pictured here was taken by the family only weeks after being awarded the OAM, and while James admitted his hearing was not the best for phone conversations, he was still active enough to keep an interest in the family business. In 1865, James LitchďŹ eld had established the Hazeldean merino stud near Cooma and he may well have been ahead of his time as he aimed to produce a strain of wool that could adapt to the Monaro environment. The Hazeldean name became famous not only in the colonies at the time, but also abroad and that reputation has continued through the generations. In the mid 1920’s Angus cattle was introduced to the property by James’ grandfather, James Francis. “The wool industry as a commodity had seen highs and lows over the decades and I

hope it manages to stay above the longterm average,â€? said Mr LitchďŹ eld. “We are up to number six now,â€? he said referring to generations who have been involved in the property.

DONNA BAKER

Recognised for her contribution to the NSW Interschools plus dedication to sport over decades, Donna Baker was co-founder of the Interschools with Lois Spencer in 1987.

Now the Interschools is a thriving event that introduces many children to the snow and competition. Donna is the current Events Manager for the championships plus involved in many other sports and organising committees, including Catholic Girls Secondary Schools Sports Association and Northern Suburbs Netball Association in Sydney. “This award is not just for me but is for the whole Interschools Committee and Coordinators in NSW,� said Donna. “They have all helped to build and improve on what we started over 30 years ago. It is amazing the amount of work that everyone has put in to make NSW Interschools the success it is today.� As part of her Sports Co-ordinator role at Loreto Kirribilli school, Donna also brings down large groups of up to 120 students each year, of which about 30 race in the Interschools. “I would say that my biggest satisfaction is the increase in the number of competitors over the years and the number of schools that are now involved with varying degrees of ability being involved,� said Donna. “I am also very proud of the number of Interschools racers that have represented at the Olympics.�

Snow sending By Steve Cuff GROWING up in Jindabyne as avid skiers certainly has its advantages, and two mates who relish the snow are Cade Robinson and Charles Beaton. Most days you ďŹ nd them lapping Perisher’s Front Valley and blasting through the terrain park. This is where many local families can easily track down their kids, as the Perisher parks certainly have an attraction for the younger generation. This is their preferred location but not their permanent home on the mountain. “If there’s heaps of pow then we are out hunting that,â€? said Charles. Last winter Snowy Mountains Magazine went on the hunt with the boys at Guthega. It had been snowing all week and we were hoping to catch the tail end of the storm, and some fresh tracks. The wind had packed down the snow this day, but that was no problem, as the boys are used to “sending itâ€?. They

send it hundreds of times a day in the terrain park. As a new season starts in 2018 the duo has already been out about, “huntingâ€? some early backcountry turns and in June making the most of the new “fresh powâ€?. School does get in the way on some days but Cade, 17 years and in Year 12 says his “parents are pretty supportive of his skiing as long as I maintain a balance, and half days of classes allow me to get away up the mountain.â€? Charles who is in year 11 says if the snow is on it is good to get out of the park with his preferred strategy to “hit Centre Valley and make our way to Eyre T-bar where there are some sick drops and great pow.â€? That’s another thing you learn when you ski with the younger guys, a new dictionary of terms plus what you may consider a difďŹ cult jump they take it all in their stride. They have both been skiing since early years in life, so no obstacles seem too daunting to “sendâ€?. Here is a selection of pics from 2017 where the boys were sending it off some sick drops into the soft pow.

SMOOTH: Improve your skiing and boarding this year with lessons at Perisher. Photos courtesy of Perisher

Tune up with tuition YOU know the feeling, you are riding the chair and you look down and see the best skiers and snowboarders on the mountain cruising effortlessly down the slopes. There is an air of grace about their movements, there are no clunky stop starts, it is all smoothly linked turns and it appears there is no effort. And let’s be honest here, it looks bloody good. On the other side of the ledger, you arrive for your week long holiday, a tad rusty from last year and it takes you one or two days to get into the groove. That is fine you say but you still pull up with aching legs and sink into the couch for that first beer or cocktail in the afternoon. So you think for a moment…Wouldn’t it be nice to glide with silky smooth turns.

Sound familiar? Yes we have all been there and the answer to get out of the this snow rut is tuition. Now we are not saying you can improve your skiing to be exactly like the best in a day or week, it takes time. But it can be achieved and each small step you take allows you to ski longer, less stress on your muscles and that sinking into the couch feeling at the end of the day just got a whole lot sweeter. Perisher have a great deal this winter where if you book early and buy a lift, lesson and hire bundle you get you get your lesson for free. So here is a great chance to start your tuition, courtesy of Perisher’s over 400 qualified instructors. They have spent years training, improving their own skiing and teaching thousands

of people to not only learn how to ski, but to continue improving all the way through the ranks. Everyone started out as a beginner, progressed to the intermediate level and here is where most people tend to be stuck. Again, we have all been there, but you can move on. Cruising green and blue groomed runs is great, we all love that but sometimes going off the main runs can be a whole lot of fun as well. And when the weather changes with snow falling and less visibility, here is where you can come into your own if have better skills which equal more confidence. And who knows, the steep black runs like Olympic or Kamikaze may just be in reach next week once you have fine-tuned your technique.

For the best deals visit the Perisher website where you can book ahead for all your lessons, lift passes and hire. Should you already have your lift pass, think of lessons as an investment in your skiing and boarding future and all the enjoyment you can attain with some new found skills. Happy sliding on what has been a cracking start to the 2018 season.

Park City in Utah is a huge resort, only a short drive from Salt Lake City and one of the easiest inland resort to access in the United States. Utah boast the lightest and driest snow on earth, and Park City not only has awesome terrain, but is one of the best towns with great nightlife and restaurants.

Dining in Perisher COLD weather and all that schussing on the slopes sure does work up an appetite. Look no further than these great establishments for some scrumptious lunch and dinner. THE MARRITZ HOTEL

The Marritz Hotel is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and is the perfect place to not only beat the crowds at lunch but relax while sampling some delicious food.

The Perisher Valley Hotel’s signature restaurant and cocktail bar, Snow Gums offers a relaxed environment while you watch the snow fall outside. Sit by the open fire or take up a window seat for either lunch or dinner, or just for an après occasion.

Seafood lovers should order the South Australian scallops, beech mushrooms, cauliflower emulsion, key lime and grapefruit caramel or if you prefer a juicy steak sample the grass-fed fillet with wild fungi, artichoke puree, marrow crumb and cabernet glace. The rich white Callebaut brownie with vanilla foam, espresso ganache and minted soil is superb with a glass of wine to finish the evening.

The lunch scene has been a revelation in recent years as guests avoid the busy on slope eateries and sample their highly rated pub food menu. Try the Moroccan lamb shoulder with spiced pumpkin, pan fried kale and quinoa, yoghurt and toasted almonds or the tasty sticky pork belly salad. The tuna poke bowl with spiced raw tuna, daikon, cucumber, sushi rice, edamame, wakame and sesame dressing is sure to delight.

GUTHEGA INN

Law changes prohibit unauthorised stopping and drinking on Lake Jindabyne foreshore By Steve Cuff IN MOVES to curb antisocial behaviour, Snowy Monaro Regional Council has introduced and will enforce ‘No Stopping Areas’ along the Lake Jindabyne foreshore for camping plus introduced ‘Alcohol Free Zones’ and ‘Alcohol Prohibited Areas’. Council has introduced the law changes following community concerns where the Lake Jindabyne foreshore was turned into a weekend camping party scene last winter. While no one was against people having a good time, on one weekend last year more than 80 vehicles were parked at the Claypits, leaving behind a trail of litter, human waste and broken bottles. Snowy Monaro Regional Council Mayor John Rooney said the move ensures the lake foreshore can be enjoyed by the entire community. “Last winter, the foreshore was overrun by visitors who didn’t value or respect it.” “The introduction of No Stopping Areas will benefit the community. They will deter visitors from illegally camping during the winter period. We have seen increasing numbers of visitors through winter using

the foreshore for unauthorised camping, parking and even to throw parties. This isn’t on.” NO CAMPING

Signage has been placed between Curiosity Rocks and Poo Bay and is targeted at the influx of overnight camping during the winter season. Signs have been installed at the following locations at Wollondibby Inlet, the Claypits, Town Centre and Townsend St/Cobbon Crescent. ‘No Stopping Areas’ will operate from 6pm to 7am, have commenced at the start of the snow season and will cease on October 8, 2018. The penalty for disobeying a ‘No Stopping’ sign is $257. Council have indicated they will be strongly enforcing the laws with either Council Rangers or Police issuing fines to offenders. Council have also noted that fines may be applied more than once if offenders return on the same evening. Rangers and Police will be able to take the number plates of vehicles and issue them with an infringement even if the person is not present.

Ŷ

The new No Stopping Area signs around Lake Jindabyne

The foreshore land is owned by Snowy Hydro and is leased to Council for public purposes and provides access to the lake, tracks for walking, riding and boat trailers. Councillors also resolved to seek a permanent solution to controlling and regulating camping along the lake foreshore.

Discovery Holiday Park at the Thredbo turnoff have unpowered camping sites for two people starting from $41.00 per night and mates rates discounts for members. Staying at the caravan parks you also have full use of the amenities including showers and toilets and will avoid any fines. ALCOHOL FREE ZONES & PROHIBITED AREAS

CAMPING AREAS

Jindabyne has two caravan parks that offer camping plus there is free camping at Thredbo Diggings and Ngarigo on the Alpine Way. NRMA Jindabyne Holiday Park offer camping per night for two people ranging from $28-42 for unpowered sites in peak season. If you are an NRMA member you receive 10% discount.

In Jindabyne and Cooma during the winter season all footpaths, roadways and public carparks will be alcohol free zones from 7pm to 9am. Alcohol prohibited areas include Lake Jindabyne foreshore and all parks in Jindabyne, Berridale and Cooma where no alcohol will be permitted from 9.30pm to 9am. All areas and zones are in force until the end of the snow season.

Perisher Olympic Cross-Country Skiers

SINGAPORE

By Wayne Pethybridge AUSTRALIA sent their biggest ever cross-country team to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in February with six athletes contesting various disciplines including three from Perisher, the home for cross country (XC) skiing in NSW. Callum and Aimee Watson both grew up as Perisher locals, while Barbara Jezersek has made Perisher XC her winter home for the past four years. The other members of the team were Phillip Bellingham and Casey Wright from Victoria, and Jessica Yeaton from WA. For Callum, Aimee and Phillip this was their second Olympics, with Jessica and Casey making their Olympic debut. This was Barbara’s third Olympics, with the two previous as a citizen of Slovenia. Competing against countries for whom XC skiing is like AFL, rugby, cricket, swimming or tennis, just to make the international standard to be selected to compete is a great effort to be applauded, and a milestone in any athlete’s career. For the first time Australia contested 10 of the 12 available events, missing only the two 4-person team relays. The longest event, the 50km, hadn’t seen an Australian competing since Jindabyne local Anthony Evans back in 1998. The highlight Australian XC

performance of the games was the Team Sprint, where Jessica Yeaton and Barbara Jezersek finished 12th, narrowly missing the 10-team final. The male duo of Callum Watson and Phillip Bellingham finished 25th. The best individual result was Barbara’s 33rd place out of 90 skiers in the 10 km Freestyle, which equalled the best ever previous result by Chris Heberle from Falls Creek at the 1988 Calgary Olympics.

Australian pride By Steve Cuff ATHLETES have always represented Australia with pride at the Winter Olympics whether they are just starting their careers or finishing. In an earlier edition we mentioned how great aerial skier Lydia Lassila was for Australia and that she has now retired from competition. In early June David Morris also announced his retirement from aerial skiing. “After 15 years training and competing in this wonderful sport, I think it’s finally time to hang the boots up,” Morris said. “It has been an unbelievable privilege to represent Australia in 44 World Cups, four World Championships and three Winter Olympic Games. “I have achieved all of my sporting goals including a World Cup victory, world number 1 ranking, World Championships medal, 2nd overall season result and an Olympic silver medal. I’ve had such amazing support from so many people right from the start and I couldn’t have done any of it without your help and I won’t forget it either. I’m proud to say your efforts and time were not wasted on me.” While Morris is retiring it really is the beginning for many other athletes. Jarryd

GIVEAWAY

Hughes has been contending for a few years at the top level but still has a big future ahead of him after his silver medal in snowboard cross. The snowboard team is super strong with Scotty James winning silver in the men’s halfpipe and always contending at every event, and Jindabyne’s Adam Lambert only just starting his career. Alex Pullin and Cameron Bolton in snowboard cross, Jess Rich in women’s big air, Tess Coady in slopestyle and Emily Arthur in halfpipe all on the improve, the lights are bright for the Aussies going forward. The mogul team is strong via Matt Graham’s silver medal and the ladies team had two in the final, Jakara Anthony and Britt Cox, plus Madii Himbury showing great promise. These are just a few who will carry on this great tradition of showing the world Australia can compete on the international snow stage. It will be four years until we see how our athletes perform in this arena again, so if you need a recap you can find all our Winter Olympic coverage on the website, snowymagazine.com.au including past stories in print plus our online posts from PyeongChang.

Patriotic support for olympians FAMILIES and supporters play a huge part in any athletes’ success, and it was pleasing to see so many family members and friends cheering on the Australia Winter Olympic team in South Korea. By far the biggest and loudest cheers were at Phoenix Park for the freestyle events where there were no shortage of parents and siblings, along with fellow athletes at each event creating a great atmosphere for the competitors. Not only did they arrive with strong voice, but also with many flags, the occasional blow up kangaroo, fancy dress and other methods of ensuring they would be noticed. Sami Kennedy-Sim could be forgiven for thinking she was looking in a mirror as huge “Sami Faces” appeared for her skier cross final. The mogul supporters though may just take the prize for strength in numbers, and noise, as they did not leave any of their voices unheard or fall short in the flag waving department. PyeongChang was also a fitting end to long time mogul coach Peter “Toppa” Topalovic, who has retired from coaching. Toppa has been instrumental in the development of many Australian mogul skiers who also train on the Toppa’s Dream run at Perisher. Here are a few different photos of what can often be overlooked in the telecast.

COACH: Peter “Toppa” Topalovic, mogul skier James Matheson and coach Peter McNeil.

Happy skiing place By Kim Mason WHOEVER coined the term “the happiest place on earth”, could have easily been referring to Big White Ski Resort. This resort keeps us coming back year after year and it is the emphasis on family that draws us in. It’s value for money. What we spend to stay on snow in Australia for one week, we are able to enjoy a month in Big White, often heading over for school holidays. The Sundance Resort has steadfastly become our favourite home away from home, and it’s not just for the waterslide, spas, cinema room and on demand shuttle, but the friendly, helpful team looking after us and of course the kids club. Our kids have often raced out the door to the club before we have even got our snow gear off! It’s the terrain we love - Long uncrowded runs, with great variety. Often we find ourselves enjoying a run all to ourselves, and in fresh powder! Always being one for the groomers, Big White has taught me to fall in love with tree runs and everything off-piste. There is so much fun to be had from green runs to double blacks. We are still finding new

hidden gems and stashes of pow! Lift lines? What lift lines, our mountain hosts were apologising on our first visit, as we barely had time to unstrap our boards before boarding the next chair. The dining choices on the mountain make it hard to stay in for a home cooked meal. As a family we are spoilt for choice from tapas, to pub bites, to fine dining. Never a boring meal to be had! The BullWheel hot chocolates, laden with cream, marshmallows and sprinkles are just the thing to start the day! One of the most important considerations for us is the reassurance our kids will be safe. With Ski School, Big White uses Flaiks (GPS trackers), which let us know each day what our kids got up to, and more importantly, if they have taken a wrong turn they can be easily found. Our kids love the week-long race training camps which are an awesome introduction to racing or a time to refine their race skills. Having a medical centre and doctor on the mountain adds to the surety that help is at hand. Big White isn’t just about the downhill slope action either. A day off the slopes will see our family enjoy snowshoeing, cross country skiing, snowmobile touring,

CRUISE: Skiing the uncrowded slopes of Big White. Photos courtesy of Big White.

ice skating, ice climbing, tubing, sleigh rides and more. We never have the kids telling us they are bored! It’s not just the regular activities on the mountain, but also the events Big White hosts that we love like Cruz the Blues, kid’s carnival nights, Aussie/NZ welcome nights and recently The Intercontinental Cup, which has allowed our kids to experience racing in a fun environment ... and give those Canadians a run for their money! The biggest drawcard is the welcome we feel, and we are always sad to leave. This truly is our home away from home.

Big beautiful snow LOOKING for epic snowfalls, huge vertical, expansive backcountry and diverse terrain, then visit British Columbia in Canada where you can find this plus a whole lot more. Spectacular scenery and a mild winter climate provide the perfect backdrop for skiing and snowboarding at family friendly winter resorts and legendary mountains. BC as it is often referred to, has ski resorts dishing up every terrain from blackdiamond steeps and chutes, to wide-open terrain and tree lines. Most resorts have ski-in/ski-out accommodations, rentals and lessons and the hot tip is to try some of the lesser known resorts and beat the crowds! FERNIE ALPINE RESORT

Fernie is the home of legendary powder with up to 11m of snow a year and the largest alpine bowl skiing in the Canadian Rockies. This quintessential Canadian resort offers an authentic laidback culture and great après-ski. KICKING HORSE MOUNTAIN RESORT

Kicking Horse is known for its steep and complex terrain, deep powder and 4th longest vertical in North America. Advanced and expert skiers and boarders will have an absolute ball here but do not be scared off

Ŷ

Silver Star Village

as there are plenty of runs for intermediates. The resort is relatively undeveloped with only four lifts and a small village, yet it offers steep open bowls, dry powder and well gladed trees. Fun fact: Kicking Horse use to be only accessible by heli!

Ŷ

PANORAMA MOUNTAIN RESORT

Panorama has flown under the radar for years however this intimate ski-in/ski-out resort offers some incredible riding, is very family friendly, well priced and one of North America’s Top 10 resorts with the most vertical. This is a big, epic mountain with a wide variety of terrain from fabulously long cruising runs and a World Cup Downhill to a Discovery Zone designed specifically for beginners. REVELSTOKE MOUNTAIN RESORT

Revelstoke has long been known by cat skiers and heli skiers however in 2007 the resort opened to the public and development continues to transform this resort into one of the biggest and best resorts in Canada. The resort boasts North America’s highest lift-serviced vertical and the only resort worldwide to offer lift, cat, heli and backcountry skiing from one village base. A great resort to warm up your legs before heli skiing!

How to Apply

This resort gets it. They even have a Snow Bum Plan, a package for 14 nights or more to give you loads of powder hunting time. Now that is commitment. Central Hokkaido, only a 90-minute flight from Tokyo, is blessed with truly great powder snow and in the heart of the Hokkaido Powder Belt, featuring seven resorts, is Hoshino Resorts, Tomamu. Here you’ll find a resort jam-packed with on and off snow action, famous for powder skiing, with incredible backcountry hiking options and complete with views of the impressive Mt Tomamu. It’s also close to well-known resorts such as Furano and Sahoro. Operating from December 1 – April 3, their season is famous for the 8 – 10 metres of annual snowfall. The ski area is only 150 hectares officially (minus the off-piste areas) with 29 runs, a vertical drop of 699m, the longest run at 3.3km and serviced by one gondola plus five other lifts. There is a terrain park and kids specific park too. There is a dedicated Experts Only Powder Area, requiring a separate application to ski off-piste but it’s great to be at a Japanese resort that allows off-piste opportunities in a controlled area to enjoy all that Hokkaido powder. Beyond skiing and snowboarding for all abilities, there are so many things to do at Tomamu there won’t be enough time to test them all out. With more than 10 activities on offer including cat skiing tours, snowmobiling, tubing, fishing, banana boat snow rafting and dogsledding. Tours by Riki, the world’s first freestyle ski instructor at Whistler, are a great way to take on an unforgettable hidden backcountry adventure. Tomamu prides itself on becoming a true winter wonderland each year. Their unique

environment reaches down to -30 degrees meaning they can build everything from ice – cups, chairs and the annual Winter Ice Village. Visitors can discover the magical Terrace of Frost Tree, only a 13-minute gondola ride away where superb views of pure white trees covered in glistening snow spread as far as the magnificent Hidaka Mountains.

Ŷ

COOL: Enjoy a drink in the ice village bar.

Need to warm up now? Head inside to Mina-Mina Beach, the largest indoor wave pools in Japan at 80m long. It’s 30 degrees or more in this endless summer glass building. As per most resorts, there is the full range of facilities and services including snowsports school, rentals, childminding, restaurants, shops and vending machines. Guests can stay in conveniently located high rise hotels in the resort centre featuring more than 700 western-style rooms. The fourstar ‘Hoshino Resorts Tomamu the Tower’ or the luxurious all-suite hotel Hoshino Resorts RISONARE Tomamu, featuring oversized rooms with sauna, jetbath and views. Getting there: As the closest ski-in/ski-out resort to New Chitose Airport (Sapporo) and only 107km by road to north east, Tomamu can be accessed by car, bus or train. The shuttle bus from the airport is the simplest way taking approximately two hours. For all information visit www.snowtomamu.jp/winter/en/.

DOES anything feel better than having some brand-new gear to schuss the slopes. With ski technology constantly developing new innovations, if you are on old skis you are simply missing out. New skis have never been better, they are easier to turn and make your snow life easier… Combine skis with some great fitting boots and shiny new stylish helmet and goggles and you will be set… Read on here for some details on some of the skis you could be using this winter…..

NEW FEEL HELMETS The VISOR helmet range developed by Rossignol allows a perfect integration of the visor to the helmet, all supported by an unprecedented technological digest. The advantages of choosing a VISRO are lightness, comfort with an extremely precise size adjustment, versatility and interchangeable lenses with compatibility for sunglasses.

ROSSIGNOL VISOR-DUAL LENSE HELMET (MENS) SOLD WITH TWO SCREENS: S1 AND S3.

HOW SNOW CHAINS GRIP

In order for wheel chains to work effectively, and to provide the maximum amount of traction and braking, chains must penetrate into a compacted snow on the road surface. Wheel lock up can occur when the snow chains are used on a ‘black road’. This occurs when the icy surface begins to break up or melts and the vehicle can slide on the wheel chains under hard braking. Please refer to the snow chain section of your vehicle owner’s manual for further explanation. Wheel chains fitted to summer tyres on the front wheels will increase traction for take off, for driving and for braking but cannot assist with vehicle’s lateral stability. Because of the inadequate grip of summer tyres on the rear the vehicle it will oversteer and when braking the ABS system can be activated, further increasing the stopping distance. The problems are always worse when driving downhill than uphill. Wheel chains fitted to summer tyres on the rear wheels will increase traction for take off and driving but cannot assist with steering, braking or lateral stability. Because of inadequate grip of summer tyres on the front of the vehicle it will not ‘turn in’ and will understeer. When braking the ABS system can be activated, further increasing the stopping distance. Again, the problems are always worse when driving downhill than uphill.

STOCKLI KIDS TEAM GS

The next generation is in the starting blocks, but they won’t stay there long. A ski that makes every young racer’s heart beat faster fast. The GS Team for young racers is itching for one thing: to get down the mountain and is stable with perfect grip when cornering. Dimensions (mm) 115-65-96 Sizes (cm) 145,151 Radius 11m (145)

WINTER DRIVING

Please read the winter driving section of your vehicle owner’s manual for further explanation. There are issues even when diamond pattern snow chain system is used on high performance 2WD or AWD “summer” tyres. On summer tyres snow chains will grip to the compacted snow/ice but the tyre can slip or spin within the chain even when chains are correctly fitted to the tyre. The problem is compounded by the camber of the road, the weight and torque of the vehicle and the amount of tread on the tyre. The problem is worse when the vehicle has been parked at the resort because of the low ambient temperature makes the tyres harder and therefore has even less grip to the chain.

CHECKING THE GRIP OF YOUR TYRES ON SNOW

When it is safe to do so, at a safe speed, and, make sure that no one is close behind you, apply the brakes firmly until the wheels lock up and the ABS is activated. Keep the brake pedal pressed down until the vehicle stops completely. This will give you a clear indication of the grip available at that particular point in time. You can repeat this test to continually monitor grip in different conditions.

L’Étape set for 2018 start

CYCLISTS might just be that bit more excited in July as they tune in for the biggest event on the cycling calendar, the legendary Tour de France. This event is huge on the world stage as the best cyclists in the world tackle various stages over three weeks of riding in France. The ‘tour’ is also renowned for their mountain stages as riders pit themselves against steep climbs in the French Alps. For the amateur looking to replicate one stage of the ‘tour’, look no further than the Snowy Mountains L’Étape Australia held in December in Jindabyne. This year will be third running of the event and organisers are excited for 2018, just as the riders should be as L’Étape Australia recently won “Best Regional Event” and “Best Public Event” in both NSW and Australia. One of the most anticipated events is the notorious climb of Col de Beloka, and the long ascent on the Col de Kosciuszko to Perisher. The 2018 route also sees some changes with the big news that both the Ride and Race events, two separate distances will both start and finish in Jindabyne. The Race will

start at 6.30am and the Ride at 8.30am. Banjo Paterson Park will be headquarters for everything this year, registration, social, start and finish line and the awards ceremony. It is expected that the park will have entertainment and really turn up the atmosphere for the event. The change of route will see the Race event extended to 170km distance, and the Ride slightly shorter than previous years at 108km. The event will have two new Ambassadors for L’Étape Australia 2018, with the 2012 and 2016 Australian National Champion Amanda Spratt and cobbled classics specialist Mathew Hayman. These two homegrown professional riders who won their first races in Australia and are riding for the only Australia UCI World Tour Team: Mitchelton-SCOTT will ride alongside entrants as they negotiate the course themselves. L’Étape Australia Director Florent Malézieux said that answering the riders’ demands was his primary concern. “Renewing the race course, proposing a user-friendly registration platform and welcoming Australian ambassadors were our

Ŷ

key targets for 2018,” said Malézieux. “I’m really honoured to welcome Amanda and Mathew in the L’Étape Australia family, they embody the event and Australian cycling very well. They are smiling, hard workers and win races! I’m looking forward to welcoming everyone in Jindabyne for what will be an incomparable cycling festival.” Since its inception in 2016, L’Étape Australia by le Tour de France has provided a new level of riding experience in Australia, combining the beauty of the Snowy Mountains, the incredible enthusiasm of the locals and an event run to Tour de France professional standards. In 2016 and 2017 L’Étape Australia was the largest Tour de France event held outside France, providing amateur riders with an experience as close to riding in the

Snowy Mountains Magazine - 2018 - 64

Tour de France as possible with fully closed roads and a mountainous course that is the equal of a mountainous stage of the Tour de France. Riders have also loved how the local Snowy Mountains communities have embraced the event. Streets are lined with yellow, green and polka dot colours, cow bells and flags are waved by well-wishers in the towns and on isolated country roads groups cheer the riders on their journey. One of the highlights in 2018 will undoubtably be the start and finish in Jindabyne which will be L’Étape Australia Village headquarters. The atmosphere is expected to be even greater than previous years. The event will run on Saturday December 1 and to register or for more information visit www.letapeaustralia.com.

East Jindabyne lots that have all been sold.

Land sales locked up JINDABYNE buyers have jumped all over any land sales in the past 12 months. In a show of strength for the Jindabyne property market, local real estate agency Kosciusko First National principal Gordon Jenkinson said he had “sold 126 vacant lots in the last 12 months, the majority of these in three subdivisions in East Jindabyne and at Highview Estate in Jindabyne.” Mr Jenkinson said the prices have ranged from $160,000 to $500,000 with most of these lots sold “off the plan” and the majority still awaiting registration. CoreLogic’s latest figures put the median property price in Jindabyne at $587,000 which is higher than the median price in Hobart and Adelaide, and comparable to median house prices in Perth and Darwin. Significant sales of $1m plus have been

recorded in Tyrolean Village and the Crackenback Valley while most local building companies are fully booked for the coming spring and summer. Some significant properties still on the market include “Highfields” in Avonside Rural Estate, #12 Carruther’s Road Jindabyne and Chalet Sonnenhof in Perisher Valley. Land owners who have not secured their builders early have even had to look to Canberra builders such is the demand for building services. On the upside, there is near guaranteed work for associated building trades in the next five-year period. With more stages of Highview Estate to be released, prospective owners should have their details registered with real estate agencies as land is being spoken for well in advance.
