The First Word SEASON 2018 is off to a cracking start and we are all set for a great August. As the magazine goes to print we have just had a nice snowfall on July 20, and more flakes in the forecast. The mountains are now set for a fantastic peak season. If you have not visited already the resorts have had virtually everything open since the middle of July, so it is all systems go. We have an action-packed August edition that covers just about everything you need to know for your snow holiday. If you are staying in Jindabyne and like dining options, you are in for a treat this year with several new eateries now open for business. We have an extensive Jindabyne dining guide, pages 43-47, so have a read to see what captures your fancy. We hope you have worked up an appetite on the slopes. August is also a huge month for entertainment and our Gig Guide on pages 58 and 59 shows what each venue has scheduled. Plus, we have a free giveaway for Butterfingers at the Station Resort and additional Thredbo entertainment on page 29. Living in the mountains we are never short of characters and interesting people or their journeys
on how they arrived in the snow. Read about “Snowpreneurs” the Spalding’s at Wildbrumby, Cocina Restaurant owners Con and Donna Poulos and Peter Topalovic, who has the run Toppa’s Dream named after him at Perisher. We urge you this winter to slow down on the roads and respect the conditions and speed zones. Each winter there are too many people speeding and overtaking with no margins for error. Mention this to your friends if you think they might be culprits, the snow is not going anywhere and arriving five minutes later is not an issue. Snow enthusiasts are always keen to travel, so we have some great travel ideas for the northern winter if you can’t get enough in Australia, or better still, see our quick travel ideas for summer in the Snowies on pages 38 and 39. Happy sliding and hopefully I see you on the slopes. I plan to spend more time skiing than the office (I hope) in the later part of the season.

INFORMATION FOR MEMBERS & THEIR INVITED GUESTS
Interski for Australian instructors
NEXT year the Australian Professional Snowsport Instructors (APSI) demonstration team will visit Bulgaria for Interski, a conference that happens every four years for the elite snowsport instructors of each of the 38 participating nations. The Australian team have been training for Interski and have some of the best skiers and snowboarders in the business. As much as this is about what they do as team at the conference, members are always conscious they are responsible for the evolution of Australian snowsports technique and teaching methods. Ever since the association was first established in 1951, Interski has made important contributions to developing and improving snowsports worldwide every four years. Andy Rae, General Manager & National Training Coordinator said the purpose of Interski is to evolve the snowsports industry through the interchange of ideas and industry trends among associated nations. “Countries worldwide send their top snowsports demonstrators (in all disciplines) to present their country’s snowsports philosophy and bring back valuable information to progress their
organisation,” said Andy. “The major benefit for attending Interski is obviously to share information on technique and teaching methodology in addition to showcasing our unique snowsports environment. The insight brought back from this event in turn benefits guests visiting our resorts; when they are taught by APSI qualified instructors.” When they arrive in Bulgaria, a portion of the conference is actual skiing in synchronised form, so from an Australian point of view this is important to impress as well. The group also present their philosophies through on snow workshops and indoor presentations to the best snow sports instructors from around the globe. Richard Jameson, APSI Alpine Technical Director has attended three Interski conferences and has been the alpine team coach for the past four years. Richard says, “the end goal of all instructors is to progress peoples’ technique, whether it be a beginner, intermediate or advanced, allowing them the confidence to enjoy and explore more of the mountain environment they have come to experience.” “We would like all guests to the resorts to be more proficient at their skiing so they feel
like they have greater control over their skis and descent down the mountains. Hopefully resulting in even more enjoyment out of the sport for them and to feel like they are a part of the mountain culture.” “That’s what snow instruction is all about.” “The demo team is the pinnacle of it, but the members of this team still have these goals at the forefront of their minds. We talk about this stuff all the time, how can we teach things better, how do you make someone do a parallel turn better, so they can navigate their skis easier down that blue run. Or make it less tiring on their muscles to enjoy their day more.” To find out more about the APSI Demo Team and how they are pushing the boundaries of snowsports instruction, head to www.apsi.net.au.

Tapping the spirit of ski school From sk ski ki school sch hooll to d distilling, istiilling, Wi Wildbrumby’s ildbrumb by’s Brad d and d Moni Monika ika ldi reflect fl on their h i jjourney to b i ‘snowpreneurs’. Spalding becoming
By Louisa Hearn BRAD Spalding’s career history is perhaps best summed up as a ‘ski instructor-turnedartist-turned-entrepreneur’. After graduating from art school in 1979, one back to back winter soon evolved into 52 snow seasons, and his creativity and innovation in ski school programmes and instructor training changed lessons here and overseas. He began working at age 15 in the early 1970s as a ski instructor at Falls Creek, and his transformation to snow entrepreneur is reflected in the Snowy Mountains region’s own evolving tourism story. “Looking back to the early 1970s, Australian skiing had just begun to shift from an elite
sport to a mass movement, as it became far more affordable with the packaging up of lift lessons and ski hire,” Brad reflects. The typical age range of visitors to the snow at that time was between 18 and 25, where the “ski all day and party all night” style of holiday was heavily promoted. Brad spent years working as an instructor locally and overseas. In Austria he studied at the Bundessportheim (Ski Austria Academy) gaining the highest Austrian ski instructor qualification, the Staatlicher geprüfter Skilehrer. Attaining this status was instrumental in allowing Brad to become ski school director at Falls Creek, and then as snowsport’s director at Thredbo from 1994 until 2006.
In this era, it was usually international ski school directors hired, with Brad being one of the first Australians to change this thinking. It was in Austria where he met his wife Monika, who was born and raised in the famous Kitzbühel region. Monika was an instructor at Kössen before moving into key roles in ski school administration in Austria and with Brad at Falls Creek and Thredbo. She moved to Australia with Brad in 1986, and the couple witnessed the Australian ski industry evolve even further. “Skiers bred more skiers, and the effect was that families started coming to the snow, which opened up a whole new market,” says Brad. Ski programs were revamped to suit children, now with day-long programmes on offer, and in his role as a ski instructor, Brad was at the centre of this transformation. Meanwhile, the majestic beauty of the Snowy Mountains also offered artistic inspiration, as Brad began to explore the vast and unforgiving nature of the alpine region in his paintings, alongside more playful portraits of his pupils. He was instrumental in the creation of Thredboland and the Thredbo animal mascots, which have nurtured and inspired an entire generation of young Australian snow enthusiasts. As the new millennium dawned, Brad and Monika observed another seismic shift taking place in the Snowy Mountains. “The dream of year-round tourism in the region was fast becoming a reality,” says Monika, as interest in hiking, fishing, cycling and later mountain biking, transformed the Snowies from winter wonderland to summer getaway. The couple had often observed that altitude thrill seekers visiting the region were also in need of some ‘chill out time’. “Even on the best powder skiing days we discovered that only 65 per cent of visitors would ski or snowboard. So, our question was
how to best serve the 35 per cent of tourists who did not want to participate in the active menu of activities on offer,” says Brad. Monika’s family had a history of distilling schnapps in Austria, and in the early 1980’s Brad had an opportunity to learn these traditional methods. This ignited a dream of one day introducing European-style schnapps to Australia’s Snowy region. “Now, with the year-round tourism starting to take off, it seemed the time could finally be right to make this dream a reality,” says Brad. Another important part of the Spalding’s mission was to create a haven in the Snowy Mountains for the arts to flourish, where people could relax, recharge, and feel inspired. In 2005 they opened the doors to the awardwinning Wildbrumby distillery - becoming one of the first craft distillers in the country all while still holding down their day jobs. “Our key focus was to place our visitors into the middle of the distillery, with a working still at the centre of the facility,” says Brad. Traditional methods developed over many centuries and exclusive access to homegrown organic fruit and botanicals became the inspiration behind a brand-new line of liqueur schnapps that delighted visitors to the region. Brad and Monika also embedded their artistic vision into the fabric of the Wildbrumby distillery, and the vast sculpture garden within its grounds to create a haven of beauty open all year round. Brad’s journey as a distiller continued. Combining his knowledge with a strong focus on the provenance and flavour of core ingredients has seen Wildbrumby substantially expand their stable of spirits in recent years. Fast forward to 2018 and the distillery now sells an award-winning line-up of schnapps, gin and vodka all year round to visitors to the Snowies, and far beyond.

DISABLED Wintersports Australia has come a long way in their forty-year history, and now more than ever have better facilities and the capacity to help disabled people enjoy an alpine and snow experience. At the recent Paralympic Winter Games Australia fared well with dual gold medallist Simon Patmore and Melissa Perrine with guide Christian Geiger winning two bronze medals. But underneath that top layer of athletes over 400 registered guides and instructors help everyday people with disabilities. “We’ve gone from 800 members to nearly 1500 members in the last five years and we’ve got memberships from almost every state and territory in Australia,” said Rick Coate, Interim CEO of Disabled Wintersports Australia. “We now have in place eight seasonal staff across five resorts in Victoria and NSW and excitingly we are now branching into some green season activities with the help of some government funding.” The DWA history dates back to Thredbo where Ron Finneran, now a life member and an Order of Australia Medal recipient helped start it all, initially as the Disabled Skiers Federation. “Who would have thought back 40 years ago having a beer at the Thredbo Alpine Hotel with a couple of ski instructors and interested people that Disabled Wintersports Australia would reach that milestone and advance itself so well,” said Ron. Bruce Abel, a Canadian ski instructor had been heavily involved teaching people with disabilities in Canada, and they both got together as Ron was developing his ability to ski after having polio as child. In the early years it was never an organised body, but a group of people combined to help many disabled people learn how to ski.
@alpinesports.com.au @alpinesportsjindabyne Snowy Mountains Magazine - 2018 - 10
“With the help of skis tied together and outriggers, that is the way things happened for them,” said Ron on early methods. “Sit skiing came about more in the mideighties for people with spinal cord injuries, prior to that it was limited to amputees, cerebral palsy and polio.” Ron said that former Thredbo CEO Kim Clifford was one of the first to test a sit ski in 1982. With a single ski and a leaf spring reverse, they attached a Coca Cola plastic chair and asked Kim to sit and ski in The Basin at Thredbo. “White knuckled, but he did it,” said Ron, adding Kim had been a great supporter of DWA. The modern sit ski is now full of technology and can be an expensive item. Ron said the highlights over the years were the evolution of specialised equipment and teaching people with disabilities. “The support of all the resorts in the country and the way they’ve accepted skiing with people for disability at all levels, particularly the ski school. We’ve always maintained a policy that people with disabilities should be taught by qualified instructors and that has happened throughout all the ski areas in the country. “The evolution of the Winter Paralympic Games since 1976 has been enormous and people like Michael Milton, he is an icon and even today is used as an example of how great Australia has been in disabled winter alpine sports.” Rick Coate said for families with disabled members wanting to experience the snow they should plan ahead. “Planning and logistics are always a little more complex when travelling with people with varying differences of needs, so we just encourage everyone to join DWA as a member where they can access discounted lift tickets and also have service provided by a number of any of our 400 plus trained DWA guides,” said Rick. The key is to book early where DWA staff

can assist particularly around the areas of expectations when it comes to lessons and to accessing a range of equipment and booking in a guide. “Statistics show 18% or 1 in 5 Australians identify with a disability, particularly in the cognitive disorder space, autism and Asperger’s and its scientifically proven that

people’s capacity to overcome adversity and turnaround associated conditions like depression through activities like winter sports, really makes a massive difference to their life,” said Rick. In NSW disabled camps and programs are available at Perisher and Thredbo. Tom Hodges is the NSW program coordinator,
Ursina Kradolfer is the Perisher services coordinator and Craig Stonestreet is services coordinator at Thredbo. Snowy Mountains Magazine skied with Craig Stonestreet last winter where he was teaching Shane Spargo how to handle the sit ski with his son Harry. Craig trains all the volunteer guides and can also teach sit
ski beginner lessons. Having volunteered for six years, Craig said he had now been employed for three years. “I think we exceed what people expect,” said Craig referring to family’s expectations when they visit the snow. “They often have been in a wheelchair for much of their life and have not experienced the sense of freedom and speed that we can show them in the sit ski.” “So many families are in tears on Friday Flat (Thredbo beginner area), they thought they would never see their family members being able to ski.” Instructors can teach all different levels, it is not just limited to beginners. Like any skiers, once they progress they can access different terrain including long groomed runs and off piste. Last season Craig taught three incomplete quadriplegic participants to independently sit ski. NSW Camps are often housed at Jindabyne’s Sport and Recreation Centre, where Ron Finneran has a lodge named after him, “Finskos”. In Victoria a new 36 bed $4 million facility has just been opened at Howmans Gap, Falls Creek opening up new sporting pathways for people of all abilities that love their winter sports.

SNOWY 2.0 EIS SNOWY HYDRO has submitted their Environment Impact Statement (EIS) for the next stage of exploratory works for Snowy 2.0. The EIS will soon be released for public exhibition where it will be available for viewing for the following month from release. The EIS submission describes all aspects of the next phase of works which is to tunnel down to the proposed cavern area of the new power station from the Lobs Hole Ravine area. Charlie Litchfield, Snowy Hydro Manager – Environment said that Snowy Hydro had been assessing this stage of works since last October. As part of this process he said they have submitted preliminary assessments to the respective agencies for review who then advise what requirements and detail they would like to be addressed in the EIS. “We have done everything that we can to address all the secretaries’ environmental requirements. We believe we have enough to demonstrate that the impact of these

exploratory works program does not have a significant impact on our environment and can be approved.” Snowy 2.0 is endeavouring to build an underground power and pumping station built between the existing Tantangara and Talbingo reservoirs, which they have described as “a game-changer”. “After completing the Snowy 2.0 feasibility study late last year, which showed the project was both technically feasible and financially viable, we have made good progress with planning and design, geotechnical investigation, financing and other important project components,” said Paul Broad, Managing Director and CEO Snowy Hydro. The final investment decision about whether to proceed with Snowy 2.0 will be made by the company’s independent Board of Directors by the end of the year. “It sounds a bit cliched, but we are long term tenants in the park and long-term users of areas in the park since 1949 and since and during the construction we have taken lots of effort and people don’t realise there were a lot of efforts made to do what we could to look after the park,” said Mr Litchfield. He said it’s the same now and they have gone to great lengths in this process to minimise any unnecessary impact, in some cases looking for other avenues of access such as using barge access across the reservoir as an example. Mr Litchfield said their preferred start date to commence access work for the tunnel was December. When work begins up to 200 workers will be based at the site for this stage of the project. To view the EIS when it is released go to www.snowyhydro.com.au.

Police out in force By Steve Cuff WINTER sees a huge influx of people to the region, a mix of increased staff plus thousands of visitors each weekend and week. During the snow season the police force also increases with extra resources based in Jindabyne. Highway Patrol have a visibly increased presence plus it is well known there are undercover police seeking out those who wish to flaunt with the law. Monaro Police District Commander, Superintendent Paul Condon said the police presence varies throughout the season. “We have ten seconded staff from other commands throughout the state who attend and work within the community for the snow season from June long weekend to October long weekend. We also have specialist police attending from within the region and extra police who attend events such as Snowtunes to assist local police and the local community,” said Superintendent Condon. At a recent liquor and gaming meeting in Jindabyne, licensing police addressed publicans and staff as a reminder of their responsibilities. It must be noted that authorities have been impressed with the number of incidents over past years, a reflection of venues clamping
down out anti-social behaviour. The Snowy Mountains liquor accord, an agreement by Jindabyne venues to ban known troublemakers should be applauded. While the establishments like everyone to enjoy a drink, the accord has introduced some innovative measures including a ‘banned from one, banned from all’ policy for known troublemakers, and a patron code of conduct. Police stressed the importance of spotting trouble well before it eventuates and have indicated they will step in and remove people from venues if they are intoxicated and refuse to leave. This also incurs a fine. Police always target drugs, so it should be a warning that eventually you will be caught. Several high-profile drug arrests in recent years, plus extra police with sniffer dogs at big party venues like Snowtunes should be enough of a deterrent. Highway Patrol officers patrol roads extensively in winter. This should serve as a reminder to everyone that they need to abide by all road laws, don’t cross lines and observe speed signs. Invariably most accidents in winter are caused by people going too fast for the road conditions. Being in a hurry to get to the snow and putting other people’s lives at risk on snow and icy roads is reckless.

FORCE: Police have increased numbers for the snow season.
A recent assault case saw the local Jindabyne community react angrily on social media. While some comments were warranted, Facebook keyboard warriors just stirred up anger and lashed out at police unnecessary. Local police have noted that they are on duty 24 hours a day, even if the station is not manned. Police swiftly made an arrest within days, with Cooma’s Detective Senior Constable Nathan Hardman instrumental in this arrest. “I am very proud of how the local police, detectives, police from the rest of the district, southern region and state crime command came together quickly to achieve this result and put the communities’ minds at rest,” said Superintendent Condon. Mr Condon said that this case was not a reflection on the local community, but

the community can assist police to stamp out crime. “Policing is about local police working with the local community to reduce crime and ensure we all feel safe. My police live in the community as do their families. They are very passionate about this community and its safety. But we need help from the community. We need the community to report crime, suspicions and any issues that compromises this safety.” To contact police, call your local station, approach police officers or contact crime stoppers 1 800 333 000.

No litter this winter EACH snow season tonnes of rubbish are left in the resorts and the adjacent towns. Most of this litter is deliberately thrown from vehicles or simply left in car parks. The first question that really needs to be asked is WHY…? Is it that hard to hang on to your rubbish, coffee cups or chip packets and put them in the bin when you reach your lodge or a suitable garbage area. Or do people simply disrespect the mountain environment that much. For the majority of people who do the right thing and actually care about our region, they find it disgusting. Especially when you see some of the types of rubbish left behind. Would people do this to their own suburb or own homes….? This winter we urge you to not litter and don’t be a tosser all your life. Simply place any rubbish in your car and dispose later, or don’t be so lazy and walk to a bin. The resort staff spend hundreds of hours each season cleaning up behind these tossers. One of the most
concerning aspects is that a lot of the rubbish that flies away on windy days will be deposited into trees and areas where it will never be recovered. A good portion of litter also makes its way into the waterways, gets snagged on rocks and branches and remains, or ends its journey in lakes well below where the offence originated. Last year Lakeside Scavenge was created by Anna Jane Linke where residents and interested people searched for rubbish around Lake Jindabyne. Over 750kg of trash was removed giving you an indication of just how much rubbish ends up around the lake as one example. Multiply that significantly for the resort areas. Each year they respectively have their own dedicated clean-up. The Lakeside Scavenge will be on again in September, and with the lake level low some people have already been diligent. Save the date of September 15 from 10am until 2pm. You can find more information at www.seasidescavenge.org or facebook.com/seasidescavenge/.

Jindabyne traffic
SNOW visitors in August will notice some road improvements in Jindabyne with the completion prior to winter of a dual lane out of town from the Barry Way roundabout to the Thredbo turnoff. So far this season it has removed major traffic congestion that in previous years would see huge traffic jams back through Jindabyne. Even during busy July school holidays, the traffic flowed and with increased signage drivers have time to merge into their respective lanes for either Thredbo or Skitube, or straight ahead to drive to Perisher. Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) also installed a precautionary set of traffic lights
should traffic build back up the Barry Way. This road now also has two turning left lanes onto Kosciuszko Road to assist with alleviating congestion. Snowy Mountains Magazine spoke to RMS staff who were monitoring the traffic lights and they indicated that they had not witnessed any major traffic issues like previous years. Drivers should show common courtesy to allow Barry Way traffic to merge onto the roundabout and allow all sides of Jindabyne to all make their way to their respective resorts without unnecessary traffic grief. August weekends will be the big test, but so far so good… Enjoy the snow.

Nugget’s Crossing is celebrating its 30th birthday this winter and one business that has been there from the start is High Country Outfitters. Owners Kate and Murray Ogilvie were one of the first tenants in Nugget’s which has become the centre of shopping for people over the years. “It’s very exciting, yes we’ve loved Nugget’s Crossing and we will be here for a little bit longer yet,” said Kate. The shop held a birthday party in in late June where friends and shoppers attended for a celebratory drink, some fine food including a delicious trout. The menu was only fitting considering Murray is a leading fly fishing guide and is passionate about trout fishing. A large portion of their shop is dedicated
to all the requirements of fly fishing enthusiasts and shop staff Ant and Glenn are also enthusiastic fly fisherman. Visitors who have an interest in fly fishing should venture inside and “talk shop” with the boys, who are always willing to offer their knowledge. Fly fishing lessons are also available. The shop name says it all about their product. They can outfit you to suit any High Country situation, from footwear to keep the snow out, warm undergarments to the latest fashions of high profile brands such as XTM and Patagonia and more. You can see a selection of their fashion and accessories on page 57 or stop in and wish them a happy 30th birthday in the courtyard at Nugget’s Crossing.

Seen + Remembered THREE artists have combined for an exhibition in Jindabyne in August with Cooma artists Rowena Evans and Eleanor Evans being joined by Giovanni Aguilar to show Seen + Remembered. The exhibition displayed at the Snowy Region Visitor Centre in Jindabyne will highlight the colourful watercolours, acrylic paintings, prints and drawings from their various travels in Australia, Europe and the Caribbean as well as travels in their imaginations. Rowena Evans who grew up in Sydney but has lived in Cooma since 1985 has always been interested in telling stories and making pictures. As a child she thought all adults could draw and that art and writing were normal occupations. She has a BA in Visual Arts and has worked as an illustrator, printmaker, writer, fairy, cartoonist and in community art, among other things. Rowena’s work most often contains a mixture of reality and fantasy; it is always possible that something out of the ordinary may appear just around the next corner. Cooma’s Eleanor Evans grew up in a family of artists and engineers. She studied a Bachelor of Visual Arts at the Australian National University where she first became interested in stop motion animation. After graduating, Eleanor exhibited her work in galleries around Australia. She makes a variety of work including
painting, textile and experimental animation. In 2017 Eleanor received a MA in Stop Motion Animation from BAU Barcelona. Giovanni Antonio Aguilar Gutiérrez was born in Barranquilla in Caribbean Colombia and started painting as a child before studying graphic design at university. After working as a graphic designer and graphic design teacher for almost ten years, Giovanni returned to university and received a MA in Stop Motion Animation from BAU Barcelona in 2017. His work is inspired by the colourful exuberance of the Caribbean where he grew up. Eleanor and Giovanni met while studying in Barcelona and they collaborate on projects in a variety of stop motion techniques.

WE HAVE THE BACKCOUNTRY COVERED
Cross country skiing MOST of you have heard of it and even seen it, but have you ever thought of trying cross country skiing. The Perisher Cross Country trails are some of the best and only a stone throw from the Perisher carpark. Besides the obvious fitness benefits, cross country skiers are the fittest people in the world, you will have the chance to explore an area you may not have thought possible and see some spectacular scenery. Apart from snowshoeing, cross country is one of the best means of transport in the off piste snow if you are outside the resort. Wilderness Sports can hire all your gear including snowshoes, they have a shop at the National Park building at Perisher and in the Nugget’s Crossing complex in Jindabyne. Once you have acquired your gear enrol in lessons and you are then off on your new-found journey. Visit website www.wildernesssports. com.au or phone 6456 2966. CROSS COUNTRY SKI WEEK Perisher Cross Country stage their annual ski week each August, a highlight of the cross-country season outside of national championships. There are several traditional events and the races are open to all levels. Amersports/Salomon have agreed to sponsor XC Ski Week by supplying a $2000 ski package to the winner of the main draw at this years “End of XC Ski Week Presentations”. So get your skates on and enter via their website.
Classic races like the Kosciuszko Alpine Club (KAC) are always demanding as racers skate from Perisher to Charlotte Pass. This is also a spectacular spectator race where you can see the start outside of Corroboree Lodge or better still, at the bottom of Eyre T-bar if you are on the mountain. The gun skiers don’t mess about here and set a cracking pace, but not everyone competes to win, many of the older club members still participate with time being of no concern to them. During the ski week, there are numerous recreational activities around the races, and you can enter just to be involved and a chance to win prizes. PRIZES This season there is added incentive for club lodge members, with the Sundeck Hotel offering a $1000 prize for the club who accumulate the most points in the week. The Club Competition is based purely on participation with a simple formula being applied, e.g. each member or guest who is staying at their club and competes or takes part in one of the many events during XC Ski Week will earn their club one point towards the grand prize. If one member goes in 6 events, they have earned their club 6 points. Conditions apply which are noted on the website. The prize of a $1000 tab at the Sundeck Hotel for food and drinks
Snowy Mountains Magazine - 2018 - 18
should attract the interest of members. In addition to the cash prize there will be a fantastic trophy that will be given to the winning club each year. Thanks go to Barney (Alan Davis) for saving and sharing this relic of the past. The trails have been in fantastic condition due to such a great early season start, so the racing should be the best in years.

Australian Junior Freeride Championships THEY are the future of Australian freeride and come September up to 150 juniors will show their skill and chase the Australian Junior Freeride Championships titles. The event is the pinnacle of the Australia junior freestyle calendar and the best young junior free riders from across the country along with internationals will converge on the Perisher terrain parks and pipe for what will be an entertaining three days. Ski and Snowboard Australia Park and Pipe Coordinator Richard Hegarty said the event had deliberately been schedule towards the back end of the season as it allows all of the athletes to have finished their individual resort programs. “It’s a great opportunity to show where they are at,” said Hegarty. Some of these youngsters have already shown they have great skill and the event is also part of the Ski and Snowboard Australia (SSA) talent identification program. So, there is a lot at stake for aspiring athletes. “Ski and Snowboard Australia use it as a great talent identification opportunity because it’s the one time you get the best juniors on a great course and it is also sanctioned by the WSF, AFP and FIS, so it is a heavily sanctioned event which is great for the up and coming juniors to get points on the world tours,” said Hegarty. “There are more and more junior events appearing in that development level age group these days and in the park and pipe disciplines the best in the world are training and coming up a lot younger with athletes like Redmond Gerard (slopestyle) winning the 2018 Winter Olympics at age 17. “There are a number of other athletes at the pinnacle of the sport ranging between 15 and 19, so just because
it’s a junior event does not mean it’s a low standard,” added Hegarty. SSA are now looking to identify talent at a very young age with athletes peaking below 18 years of age. They have recognised athletes as young as eight as those with potential talent. “Some of the best future athletes in our country are in the 13-year-old age group and we have real stars on the world stage in Valentino Guseli, Jessy Parkinson and Josh Robertson-Harn, and all three of them have proven to be internationally competitive in the top ten. “In the girls we have Chelsea Kelly who is currently nine and we are recognising them as strong future talent. “The SSA team of free ski girls at the moment is on par with any development team in the world, with huge potential. Abi Harrigan 15, Mabel Ashburn 15 and Mia Rennie, all three of those are tracking to be world class females that we expect at the next Olympics to be highly competitive.” Hegarty said in the younger male skiers they have two standouts at present with 12 year olds Oskar Schulz and Joey Ellis who is an amazing all-round skier.

Perisher History PERISHER Valley has decades of history dating back to the 1950’s when pioneers of the snow started to build at Perisher until what we eventually see today. Charlotte Pass was already established with the Chalet a popular destination in those days and Hotel Kosciuszko what we now know as Sponars was a year-round destination with golf course, and really the gateway to the snowfields before snow ploughs cleared the roads. One of the most revered pioneers of that era was Johnny Abbottsmith, who built the first commercial rope tow at Smiggins as well as offering transport services with his team of dogs.
Ŷ

At the recent Perisher Historical Society dinner in June, Johnny’s children, Diane Hampshire, Garry Abbottsmith and Fay Pendergast were invited guest speakers. With author Peter Southwell-Keely they reminisced about many of their father’s great achievements and about life growing up as young children in the snow. Living in a house in Smiggins, built by their father, life was full of fun and snow play in those days with their father running the transport business and building another tow at Perisher and the big tow with Sverre Kaaten. Johnny was also responsible for what is most likely the first ever snow reports where he devised a system for reporting on the weather from the snow fields. He would take photos of the various snow locations and then send the roll of film to Dick Gilkes at Sydney’s first ski shop. Dick would develop the roll of film and display the pictures before the following weekend, so people could see the conditions. The Perisher Historical Society have their annual dinner every June long weekend and you can find more information on Perisher’s history at www.perisherhistory.org.au or www. perisherhistoricalsociety.org.au.

New chair to replace Leichhardt T-bar FOR years Leichhardt T-bar has been the go to location for powder seekers on stormy days. It is sheltered from most of the elements and seems to attract those few extra centimetres on a powder day. Visitors this winter should give this area some extra special attention, especially the T-bar, as next year Perisher will have a brand-new quad chair replacing the Leichhardt T-bar and the Home Rope Tow. The investment is $4.2 million which includes increased snowmaking and work commencing at the end of this season.

Skiing Powder Ridge.
For the remainder of the 2018 season you can have your own piece of history by saying you rode the T-bar in its last season. What will the new chair bring to the mountain for next season...? Perisher Chief Operating Officer Peter Brulisauer summed it up nicely when the announcement was made during summer. “The new lift will access fantastic beginner, intermediate and advanced runs as well as the famous Leichhardt Terrain Park providing something for every level of skier and snowboarder.” Brulisauer is no stranger to the Leichhardt area, having grown up at Perisher he would have skied this area many times himself. While we all look at this great news from different perspectives, increasing the lift capacity is the major benefit to assist with traffic flow back from Mt Perisher. The new chair will increase capacity by 75%. For the beginners though, being able to take the Quad chair from Front Valley and then make gentle turns on the Snowy Trails run will allow them that extra sense of exploring. This is a huge bonus for kids and lessons where instructors have extra terrain to spread their classes. Knowing they have a

chair to ride is perfect, as many entry level people would not have been able to ride the steeper T-bar. For intermediate and advanced skiers and boarders, the sheltered runs and extra powder is what makes this area so good on blizzarding days. They don’t call it Power Ridge for nothing. The snow holds well, the terrain is interesting plus you have increased visibility in bad weather skiing in the trees. Laps on the T-bar are great, but next year laps on the chair will be so much better and
faster turnaround times. Plus depending on where pylons are placed it will open the terrain even more. The turnaround is ideal for the Leichhardt terrain park, as jibbers love quick laps. Hitting jumps and rails and then shooting straight back to the top is what it’s all about. That reason alone is why the world’s best freeriders visit Perisher, for quick laps in the park. No matter what your objective be sure to ride the T-bar this winter just for nostalgia’s sake.

Perisher on a plate 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. GUTHEGA INN Guthega Inn is renowned as a great scenic location for lunch and is always busy in the day, so we highly recommend you arrive early.

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.

Early bird planning SAVVY skiers and boarders know the best snow is from first lifts, and this year Perisher have changed opening times on key lifts that will allow guests access to runs from 8.30, where in previous years they were opening at 9am. Centre Valley T-bars will now open at 8.30am allowing guests to move there away across Centre Valley in anticipation of arriving at Mt Perisher lifts for their opening. Blue Cow probably have the best new time structure with both the Terminal Chair and the Summit Chair now loading from 8.30am. On busy weekends in August this is a great move by Perisher management and one sure to be well received by the early arrivals who are ready to go once that rope line is dropped. It has always been the talking point among long time skiers and boarders, how to beat the crowds, have lunch when it is not busy and still get all the best snow. This season starting at “The Cow” could be your answer and then back track or use some strategic planning. As far as terrain selection goes, Blue Cow is one of the best starting locations in the
resort and first runs down Zali’s on fresh corduroy or with fresh snow is sensational. Better still, it makes you think about planning your day and staring at Blue Cow rather than the Perisher side. With the sun hitting The Ridge chair from the outset, the best skiing here is the first hour, so starting at Blue Cow and taking the Skitube up early makes good sense. Plus, a coffee while you wait in Cowpuccino is an institution for the Blue Cow faithful. Once you have lapped Zali’s and carved up the Ridge runs several times you can now be content and depart before the crowds descend over from Perisher. Since the Freedom chair was introduced in 2014, it seems like Guthega is everyone’s favourite area now. And who can blame them, that view is the best in Australia but best to ski here, have your fill and move on before 11am at least, or have an extra early lunch at Guthega Inn. Heading back from Blue Cow to Perisher, take the Pleasant Valley quad and then the right trail where you can then navigate straight to Mt Perisher. Everyone by now will be thinking lunch and you will be carving the slopes. If the chairs are still busy the best option is either
Ŷ

Eyre T-Bar or International. The terrain on International is some of the best yet people shy away from these runs……! No matter what your strategy we know you will have a great time. And why wouldn’t you, with four resorts, the biggest resort in the Southern Hemisphere and after a great start to the 2018 season, every run and lift at your beck and call.

In The Chair with Peter “Toppa” Topalovic
Each edition Snowy Mountains Magazine interviews an interesting Snowy Mountains character for a quick insight into their mountain life. We put them ‘In The Chair’ and ask them questions on how it all came about. This edition we talk to Peter Topalovic, aka “Toppa” who has the run ‘Toppa’s Dream’ at Perisher named after him. Q. WHEN DID YOU START SKIING AND WHERE DID YOU COME FROM TO BE IN THE SNOW? A. I grew up in Merimbula and went to Eden high school. I moved to the mountains right after that in 1986 as a kitchen hand at The Man from Snowy River Hotel in Perisher. That’s the first time I saw snow and fell in love with the mountains and the culture and I’ve been here ever since. It’s was by good fortune my next-door neighbour in Merimbula popped his head over the fence and offered me a job in a restaurant called the Waterfront Café in Merimbula, little did I know he was
very well known in Thredbo and Perisher and 12 months later I’m working in the Man. Q. HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN TEACHING MOGULS FOR? A. I started teaching moguls in 1995 and coached the Perisher freestyle team until 1999. I also had a training camp called the Australian Winter Sports Camp with business partner Stuart Aldred. Q. WERE YOU A KEEN MOGUL SKIER? A. Yeah, I fell in love with mogul skiing and started the Perisher mogul team with a bunch of eight friends. We didn’t have a coach to start with. We were just a bunch of bloody ratbags in those days getting up to all sorts of mischief. Gee we had a lot of fun. Q. WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST OFFICIAL MOGULS JOB? A. In 1999 I was offered the job as the inaugural NSWIS moguls coach and have effectively been there ever since.

Q. WHY HAVE YOU RETIRED NOW FROM COACHING AFTER THE RECENT OLYMPICS? A. The predominant reason was spending more time at home with family. I was on the road there for six months a year. Normally what I do after every Olympics is I come home and talk with Linda (wife). I said after Torino, do you want me to be home now or do you want me to do this again another four years. She kept saying yep, you can go again for another four. Halfway through the last Olympic cycle she said, you know how you always ask me when you get home from the Olympics do you want me to do this again. I am telling you now the answer is no. I said that is fine with me. Q. WHAT WERE YOUR MOST SIGNIFICANT HIGHLIGHTS AS A MOGUL COACH? A. For me as a little country kid to get a job working for a company as big as the NSW Institute of Sport, I mean that’s a big thing for me to be able to achieve that. To turn up to my first Olympics and Dale Begg-Smith wins gold, that was amazing to see Australia win its first gold medal in mogul skiing. Britt Cox as a 15 year old in Vancouver,

that was pretty special to get her to the Olympics and seeing Britt win the World Championships in Spain, that was a feather in the cap. Britt and Matt Graham both winning the world cup in Calgary. I was also proud of having such a big team in PyeongChang, a team of eight, that was the last goal and we won silver with Matt Graham. Q. WILL YOU MISS COACHING NOW? A. Absolutely I do miss it, do I miss the travelling, no. Do I miss being away from family, absolutely not. You actually realise how much Linda has absorbed working full time bringing two kids up on her own basically. Q. YOU WANTED A DEDICATED MOGUL RUN AT PERISHER, HOW DID THAT COME ABOUT? A. Ashely Blondel was the CEO of Perisher and I lobbied him hard. He kept saying we are looking at it. He was sick of me annoying him but after eight years I got the phone call from Gary Grant to say it had been approved. Q. HOW DID THE NAMING OF THE RUN COME ABOUT? A. Ashley called me and said we are going to call the run after you. I said I didn’t want the name I just wanted the run. There was a competition with staff bouncing around ideas and in the end, Gary Grant said this has been your dream Toppa, and I said that’s it. It had been a dream for eight years.

Faces of Thredbo THREDBO Historical Society have inducted two more ‘Faces of Thredbo” at their mid-winter dinner in July with Bela Racsko and Albert van der Lee now acknowledged for their contribution to Thredbo. Bela Racsko was one of the many people who escaped war or political conflict in Europe and arrived in Thredbo in 1957, the resort’s first year. He made an immediate mark as the designer and builder of lodges, his talents in great demand in a difficult alpine environment little known to the local builders. In partnership with his fellow Hungarian, Steve Szeloczky, he formed the Sigma Building Company which pioneered the construction of commercial, club and private lodges in the village. In his first decade in Thredbo his credits included the original Roslyn (now Hi Noon), Candlelight (for Kornel and Suzanne Deseö), Golden Eagle, Karoonda, the Black Bear (initially Sasha’s and built for Karel and Sasha Nekvapil), the Silver Brumby (for John and Pam Hughes), Hing’s (now Leatherbarrel), Koomerang, Schlupfwinkel, Kasees (for Cees and Ann Koeman), Winterhaus (for Beryl and Vic Clifford), Inala (for the family of Charles Hlavaty),
Sitzmark, Munjarra and the original Lantern. By the late 1960s, about half of the sixty or so buildings in Thredbo bore his stamp. As the years rolled by and the lodges were expanded and rebuilt the Racsko signature became less apparent, but elements of it remain nonetheless, for example in Schlupfwinkel, which remains in nearoriginal form half a century after its construction. He also built Punchinello, which he lived in and operated with his wife Gabi. He was active in building Thredbo into the late 1980s. Bela Racsko’s last building was the second Roslyn, across from the first lodge to bear that name. Fittingly, Bela’s Corner where Diggings Terrace, Bobuck Lane and Banjo Drive meet is named after him. His contribution to Thredbo’s physical fabric and the “look and feel” of the village was immense. Albert van der Lee was Thredbo’s Resident Manager for most of the period that Lend Lease owned and operated Kosciusko Thredbo. He was the man who undertook the detailed planning and implementation needed to bring to fruition the vision that Dick Dusseldorp held for Thredbo.

Albert van der Lee
Ŷ Van der Lee oversaw chairlift development and the fashioning of ski runs and traverses as well as the development of the road system, parking facilities, signposting, fire protection and sewerage. He was also responsible for hotel extensions. He had oversight of the evolution and modernisation of the village that emerged from the haphazard, rather primitive settlement that had developed before his time. Thredbo was still “Mudbo” when van der Lee arrived; by the time he left it had become the sophisticated resort that thousands have come to know and appreciate. A great deal happened in van der Lee’s time as the company’s “main man” in Thredbo, including the development of the Merritts beginners’ area and the creation of the Anton’s, Sponar’s and Karel’s T-Bars. The summer attraction represented by the golf course was another facility whose creation he oversaw, as were Thredbo’s first tennis courts. Several years after his retirement he became the founding President of the Thredbo Historical Society. He later contributed to the recording of the resort’s history in the Society’s Newsletter. Nobody else could have brought a more detailed understanding of the evolution of Thredbo than he. Van der Lee recognised fully the contribution of Dusseldorp as leader during his time and the roles played in earlier years by people like Tony Sponar and Eric Nicholls. He praised Nicholls for having created the large lodge sites which

have been a boon to many clubs which have expanded their originally small and cramped buildings. Albert van der Lee’s fingerprints were on most of what developed in Thredbo over more than two decades. Tough enough to stand up to the many independentlyminded individuals in the village he left the resort in better shape, aesthetically, functionally and economically, than he found it. His legacy was both considerable and positive.

TURNS: A favourite Thredbo pastime, cruising the Supertrail.
The Big 5
CRUISING long runs is what Thredbo is all about and with 672m of overall vertical don’t even bother to start counting your turns from top to bottom. They boast the ‘Big 5’ longest runs in Australia and what a choice they are, so have you skied them all. SUPERTRAIL 3.7KM The most famous Thredbo run is the Supertrail. From the very top it is a long 3.7km to the village with good fall line all the way. Take the Kosciusko Chair, then The Basin and Karels T-bar and you will arrive at the highest lifted point in Australia at 2037m. Now the long journey begins on the corduroy highway as you sweep across Karels and then head for Eagles Crest. Crossing Eagles Way traverse you hit what can be described as the main Supertrail where you find a great consistent pitch and good rhythm of turns. Schussing under the Kosi chair you now approach Crackenback Ridge and admire the nice chalets as you head to the bottom.
FUNNEL WEB 3.2KM You know your way back to the top but this time you are heading off piste, and nor for the faint hearted. Funnel Web has a bite in real life and it is no different hear. On a powder day this is sensational, but once those moguls form many an enthusiast has baulked at the challenge. Follow signs to Sashas Schuss along the Golf Course rope line and you reach Funnel Web, enjoy the experience as some don’t return for a second lap. Simply look ahead and pick a steady line through the bumps. You made it to the bottom but yes, we know, the legs are feeling it now…. Did you not train during the summer months? WORLD CUP 3.5KM On the trail map Thredbo indicate skiing from the top of Karels onto World Cup. That can either be via Eagles Way on the groomed, or a better choice for intermediates and advanced is via the bottom of The Basin T-bar and head left into the lower Bluff. These turns are often sweet as you find pockets of windblown powder and some
off piste before you are back under the Kosi chair for that long run to the bottom. Lower World Cup is usually less skied, so enjoy the solidarity away from the masses. VILLAGE TRAIL 5KM The top to bottom runs are not just for the stronger riders, there is an easier green Village Trail from the top of Karels all the way to Friday Flat. So, bring your passport, as this could be an extended trip but extremely rewarding. From Karels ski to the top of The Basin T-bar and take the left side away from Eagles Nest. This scenic trail is great, and you then return back to lower part of Eagles Way. If you need a break, stop at Black Sallees as you still have a long way to go. Opposite Kareela Hutte take the green cat track left and follow this all the way until you come back out onto the Supertrail. Now cross under Snowgums chair line and keep bearing left.
Snowy Mountains Magazine - 2018 - 29
Follow signs to Sundowner and Friday Flat and give yourself a big high 5, that is one hell of a long trip. CRUISER INTO HIGH NOON 5KM Seeing as you are now at Friday Flat, take the Gunbarrel Chair and go right at the top to Cruiser Chair. There are two ways to High Noon, the obvious cat track that brings you back to Gunbarrel chair or stay higher right from the start and keep bearing right into The Tunnel. This is more off piste and it brings you out past the top of Gunbarrel with less traversing and you are now at the top of High Noon. This run is the final leg in your big 5, so enjoy what is a nice cruisy start before you hit the steeper pitch. The legs will now be feeling it but once of the bottom head left back to Friday Flat. Congratulations, you have just skied Thredbo’s Big 5.
300 kids attend mini shred SMILING faces and glorious sunshine was the order of the day for the Torah Bright Mini shred at Thredbo in July. Over 300 kids registered for the day and judging by their excitement were all having an absolute blast as they were greeted by one of the best coaching line-ups ever assembled on Australian soil. Winter Olympic gold medallist Torah Bright organised a whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s who of coaching talent for her favourite event of the year. The stellar group included Olympians Jarryd Hughes, Belle Brockhoff, Scott Kneller, Manuela Berchtold, Jess Rich, Michael Milton plus Ryan Tiene, Jye Kearney, Charles Beckinsale, Angus Waddington, Dan Heckenberg and Thomas Waddell. Torah said it was amazing of all the coaches to give their time, but it was all for the kids. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids are a little nervous but once the coaches all get in and start talking to them and building their conďŹ dence itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like
Ĺś
amazing to see how the kids really progress and really blossom,â&#x20AC;? said Torah. Parent Brooke from Balgowlah said her two daughters were having a fantastic day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My youngest daughter didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t actually want to be a part of it today. We said just have a go, if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a go you never going to have any fun in life, so she is having a ball and said mummy can we come back next year,â&#x20AC;? said Brooke. â&#x20AC;&#x153;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 conďŹ dent people here that I am really pleased they are helping those younger ones.â&#x20AC;? Olympian Belle Brockhoff said of her ďŹ rst mini-shred, â&#x20AC;&#x153;it was pretty incredible, there is nothing like this in Australia, there are all kinds of riders here, different levels, different ages, the grass roots of our sport which is really important.â&#x20AC;?

Jarryd Hughes who attended with his Olympic silver medal said he â&#x20AC;&#x153;was enjoying the day a lot, it was more about just having fun and helping out where we can.â&#x20AC;? Hughes was also happy to let local girl Sami, who was celebrating a birthday wear the medal while waiting for lunch. Mark Campbell from Forresters Beach on the Central Coast had two kids involved, Harvey (6) and Maya (8). â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is great mate, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just so good to see Torah put on a great day for the kids and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inspiring to have all the pros here teaching them tricks and everyone is stoked,â&#x20AC;? said Mark. Thredbo built a great mini park with four separate lines for different levels and all mini-shredders walked away with a tonne of new skills, selďŹ es with their heroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and awesome prizes thanks to sponsors Rhythm Snow Sports, Roxy and Toyota.
The day ended with a huge signing session with all the proâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, where all kids received a free limited edition mini shred bib, t-shirt and poster to have their favourite pros and Olympians sign.

THE LOCAL PUB
Ph 6459 4200 Family friendly and casual the Local Pub or Bistro as it is well known has all facets of your taste buds covered. Open from 11am daily, snacks and shared plates of wedges, cheese fires or nachos will suit with a beverage refreshment from the bar. For something more substantial try pasta dishes lasagne, gnocchi or fusilli carbonara and remember they have kids’ menu as well. For food conscious diners the variety of nutritious bowls will be welcomed on the menu and for traditional offerings the classic chicken parmigiana with chips or salt and pepper squid are delicious. Steak lovers will pounce on the grainfed scotch fillet steak with broccolini and beer battered chips to appease any hunger which is perfect with a Kosciuszko Pale Ale.
THE VILLAGE BAKERY
Wander through the Village Square and detour into the bakery to start your day with fresh coffee and superb pastries, breads and savouries. Open from 7am, the bakery serves fresh bread including house specials such as rye, fruit loaf and sourdough. The coffee is superb, whilst in-house baked treats such as croissants, baguettes or bacon and egg rolls are certainly popular. Make the trek across the bridge from the slopes for lunch and bask in the village sunshine while you relax with your second coffee of the day. Sample any of the wonderful pies and baked items or opt for one of the best salad rolls in the mountains. The turkey rolls, seasonal soup in a bread bowl and traditional meat pies are a treat.

Downstairs in the Bullwheel Bar and Diner a more casual American infused menu of burgers and New York hotdogs will suit those who want to fuel quickly and return top the slopes. The Ruben burger, classic cheese burger or the 2-foot-long Minotaur frankfurt is tempting. Corn on the cob and buffalo wings will also entice.

Soup of the day, lobster croque or sesame crusted seared tuna nicoise will suffice for small plates or venison shanks with mountain pepper jus or veal goulash sound appetising for a more substantial lunch. Naturally a round of schnapps and second bottle of Mumm is in order.

BERNTI’S
CANDLELIGHT LODGE
CASCADES RESTAURANT
THE DENMAN
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 hotspot is Zack’s Grill for some fine-dining. Take a highly-prized 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.

Snowy Mountains Magazine - 2018 - 33
Ph 6457 6318 Diners at Candlelight this season will see a slight change in the menu as new chef Simon Palmer brings a wealth of top restaurant experience and stamps his own style. All the house favourites are still available as the kitchen knows everyone loves their traditional Swiss alpine dishes of cheese fondue and raclette. A tasty entrée has been braised pork belly with grilled witlof, confit Jerusalem artichoke and quince puree or the exquisite seared scallops. For mains the roasted pork cutlet with celeriac remoulade or the Jagerschnitzel mit spätzle-veal fillet pan fried with creamy mushroom and white wine sauce with homemade egg noodles are delicious. The shared roasted lamb shoulder is ideal for large groups or the family. Restaurant is downstairs you will love the atmosphere.
Ph 6457 6222 At days end from the mountain step into the Après bar for firstly a cocktail or champagne while you await your smoked and BBQ glazed pork ribs with cabbage slaw for an afternoon treat. Denman style subs are also available and southern fried chicken. For evening dining the Terrace Restaurant will excite your taste buds with entrée of crispy skin pork belly, beef cheek ravioli or chargrilled king tiger prawns. Our favourite of 12 hour slow roasted lamb shoulder melts in your mouth and the grain fed angus porterhouse with red wine jus is succulent and tender, and accompanied with a fine glass of red. Local Snowy Mountains trout fillets and confit duck are superb main choices and the chocolate decadence will surprise for dessert.
Backcountry tours a hit THREDBO introduced their new backcountry guided tours this season with lead guide Jake Iskov saying the reaction to the new tours has been great. “Following its’ launch, enquiries have been consistent with the result being regular bookings between now and the end of the season,” said Jake. “Skiers and boarders have welcomed the product as a solution to the curiosity and interest surrounding our backcountry. Strong intermediate and advanced riders can now get out and explore the amazing scenery and ride uncrowded, untouched slopes, and can do so safely knowing they’re with a guide who knows the backcountry. “Guests returning from our tours have been
blown away by the snow quality and of course the scenery. Most of them “had no idea we had mountains like this” is a typical remark and we’re already looking at returning customers.” Guests have the choices of different tours that suit different levels, from the Intro to Backcountry for entry level or Bogong Creek and Kosciuszko tours catering for strong intermediate riders. “The Intro tours are all about learning and guests expect that,” said Jake. “They haven’t been backcountry before and know very little about the equipment. These tours remain in close proximity to the resort, but we still get to ride slopes not readily accessible via our lifts. “And the guests are really appreciative of this. They remain in their comfort zone, conducive to learning and they walk away with a basic knowledge of what backcountry snow riding is all about.” The remainder of the tours require participants to be advanced riders, capable of handling steep terrain, trees and rocks and variable snow conditions. There is also a lot more climbing involved in more advanced tours. “This is all written in our FAQ’s and so far people are taking note of this.” “Our more advanced tours venture further from the resort area and the feedback reflects
both the amazing scenery and the quality snow riding available. And then of course, there’s the peace of mind that guests are in the company of a guide who knows where they’re going, who will find the best snow available on the day and who is knowledgeable in not just backcountry snow riding but also the Main Range area.” The mix between skiers and boarders is currently about 60/40, but this is not a number we dwell on as we cater for all riders.” Jake said the guides are now focussed on more snow and more backcountry adventures for as long as conditions allow and of course sharing this special environment with their guests.

DOHA
High energy action and après AUGUST is a huge month for events in Thredbo with high energy on snow action and an abundance of après options and music. Here are two of the biggest events for those that like to push the envelope just that little bit further. THREDBO TOP TO BOTTOM SATURDAY AUGUST 11 This champagne adrenalin filled weekend kick starts early Saturday morning with participants gathering for first lifts and course inspection as the first rays of sunshine approach. From here on in it could all well just be one big blur as there is fast paced action galore in each of the different categories. Starting above Eagles Crest, what lays below is 3.2km of the Supertrails finest. From a running start each competitor then clicks or straps in and dives over the steeper upper section of Eagles Way. The speed is relentless from here as they round Kareela Hutte where the early champagne breakfast brigade cheer wildly. Through World Cup and back onto the mid and lower Supertrail skis and boards now chatter with speed and legs start to ignite. For the favourites and previously initiated they know the pain, but with glory on the line and an awaiting crowd they push on. There is champagne to be sprayed and while the winning champagne tastes sweet, there is also over $25,000 in cash and prizes to be won. Spectators have just as much fun too,
with the scenic Mumm champagne breakfast popping bubbly from 6am from the ultimate vantage point, Kareela Hutte. Top to Bottom celebrations don’t stop on the mountain, with a line-up of après to keep the party going and the champagne flowing thanks to Mumm. Boogie through the afternoon with DJ sets by Sweet Mix Kids on Friday and Saturday. Keep cutting shapes Poolside on Saturday with a sweet mix of house music by Motez from 5pm, followed by an electro dance-off by Hayden James from 6pm which is sure to keep the après vibes flowing. If you want to join this iconic party, the Top to Bottom weekend welcomes riders of all abilities to come and join-in. BANKED SLALOM FRIDAY AUGUST 17 Get the outfit ready, the board waxed and game face on as the fifth annual Transfer Banked Slalom returns to Thredbo for what will be the weekend of the winter for all snowboarders. The snowboarders day of days banked slalom event has re-emerged around the globe as the staple event that all boarders can enjoy, from grommets to grandpas, amateurs to professionals, it’s a gathering of the tribe like no other! This season is a surf inspired theme which couples perfectly with the newly changed course location in the Playground Cruiser area. The course this year will be littered with a-frames,
wedges, slabs, banks and berms that any rider can manoeuvre in a fast-paced fashion. The godfather of snowboarding Terje Håkonsen competed in last year’s event and claimed it was one of the best courses he’s ridden to date; not too hard, not too easy, but the perfect in-between so riders could give it a real good nudge. Registration is now open and there are categories that cater to all ages, plus this year you receive a limited edition Transfer Banked Slalom T-Shirt with your entry for only an extra $5. See you up here for another awesome weekend of boardin’, racing and good times.

Tourism Snowy Mountains AFTER a few years of uncertainty due to Destination NSW’s Regional Tourist Organisation review and local council amalgamations, Tourism Snowy Mountains (TSM) now has a clearer road ahead to continue to promote the region. In late June, Snowy Monaro Regional Council (SMRC) resolved to appoint TSM to promote the Snowy Mountains and its attractions. This is a positive move from SMRC and they will provide funding contribution until June 2021. This comes on the back of Destination NSW recognising TSM as a highly competent organisation with good assets and a strong track record of success. The Board of TSM said they would like to express its appreciation of council for its decision and it’s pleasing that SMRC has now also recognised the vitally important role TSM has played.

TSM will continue to attract visitors to the region and plan for improved infrastructure and the introduction of new products and experiences and focus its promotional efforts in the international, national and state arenas. SMRC tourism staff will concentrate on local merchandising efforts to maximise the length of stay and dispersal of visitors throughout the region. TSM states its prime purpose is to operate as the effective peak tourism organisation for the Snowy Mountains region. Some points in its constitution are to represent the whole of the tourism industry within the Snowy Mountains, protect and enhance the “Snowy Mountains” brand and provide leadership to regional tourism in the Snowy Mountains with a demonstrated commitment to tourism development. The Board of TSM is presently reviewing the TSM Board structure, liaising with industry groups and sourcing on-going promotional funds. TSM stated there is a perception that they represent only “the big end of town”. “It should be noted though that our region would be very different and poorer without the presence, investments and promotional expenditures of the so called “big end of
1
town” players. Our region has a distinct advantage over other regions in NSW, and indeed throughout Australia, by having large companies and organisations working together to support and strengthen our unique region and TSM.” Another perception is that the small business owner receives little direct benefit by paying an annual membership fee in the order of $350. This may be due to members having misguided expectations in relation to the role of TSM and its prime purpose. In addition, TSM, while ever it seeks small business memberships is competing with Chambers of Commerce for those limited funds. Perhaps TSM may have been perceived more positively if its achievements, which are many, had been more
3
strongly publicised. Interestingly, despite all RTO’s in NSW no longer being recognised by Destination NSW, that body, DNSW, joined with TSM and jointly funded a promotional campaign during the summer/autumn of 2017/18. Each party contributed over $100,000 to fund the campaign, which essentially was a digital campaign involving the use of websites, Facebook, Instagram, Google

No Stopping Area - 6pm to 7am Lake Jindabyne Foreshore is now a no stopping area from 6pm to 7am for the duration of snow season Alcohol Zones Alcohol Free Zones from 7pm to 9am On all footpaths, roadways and public carparks in Jindabyne and Cooma during the snow season.

Alcohol Prohibited Zones from 9.30pm to 9am No alcohol will be permitted from 9.30pm to 9am on Lake Jindabyne Foreshore and all parks in Jindabyne, Berridale and Cooma for the duration of the snow season. All areas and zones are in force until the end of the snow season.
The Snowy Mountains is truly a year-round destination, and while most people know it more for the snow, during summer there is an abundance of activities and events. Here are a few travel ideas for the summer: 1. CLIMB MT KOSCIUSZKO Australia’s highest peak is easily accessible from Thredbo via the walking track. This half day trip sees you take the Kosciuszko chair to the top of Thredbo and then walk the 6.5km each way along the designated path. Alternatively, you can walk from Charlotte Pass for 9km each way or even book an E-bike sunset tour from Lake Crackenback Resort.

analytics and Hotels Combined, press and tv lifestyle programmes. The campaign was jointly funded by DNSW and TSM with TSM’s contribution coming from its cash reserves. No stakeholder or member of TSM was asked to contribute any cash to fund this campaign, which, as stated above, was digitally based and commenced in December 2017, concluding in May 2018. The results of the campaign are presently being compiled. Anecdotally though, businesses throughout the region have reported very strong trading results this past summer and autumn, in many cases record results, which is very pleasing. Snowy Mountains Magazine is a staunch supporter of TSM and encourages all business to join forces to help promote the region further.

2. ALPINE WILD FLOWERS Walk in the alpine region as wild flowers bloom from their winter slumber land. A must see for outdoor enthusiast as alpine meadows are filled with colour from mid-December to January. Many species can be found adjacent to walking tracks, combining hiking and scenery in one adventure. 3. YARRANGOBILLY CAVES Experience these million-year-old caves with either guided or self-guided tours. A memorable experience as you venture underground to view stunning stalactite and stalagmite formations via purpose built paths and stairs. Plus take a swim in the thermally heated outdoor pool and stay at historic Caves House.

4. VISIT TUMBARUMBA WINERIES Tumbarumba are renowned for their award winning cool climate wines. You can visit cellar doors of Courabyra Wines, Obsession Wines and winery or Tumbaraumba Wines Escape, all nestled within close proximity to the township. Stay at Tumbarumba Motel and visit other
attractions of Paddys River Falls, Sugar Pines Walk or the Boggy Creek Show. 5. MOUNTAIN BIKING Summer in the mountains is fast becoming mountain bike heaven with a plethora of trails and big mountain bike events. Thredbo lead the way with their on-mountain trails, plus the Thredbo Valley Track will be completed this summer allowing you to ride from Thredbo to Jindabyne. Great trails can also be found at Mt Gladstone in Cooma, Lake Jindabyne and Tumut. 6. HIKING AND EXPLORING Visit stunning lakes and venture on short or day long hiking adventures. Rainbow Lake, Main Range Track, Illawong Suspension Bridge walk, Cascades Trail or Lake Cootapatamba (pictured) or drive to Khancoban along the Alpine Way for stunning scenery just to name a few. 7. FISHING Try world class fly fishing with High Country Fly Fishing guides in gentle running streams or fast flowing rivers or cast a line into the many lakes across the region. Enter the Snowy Mountains Trout Festival or join Steve Williamson Fishing Adventures on Lake Jindabyne or Eucumbene Trout Farm to catch your prized trout. You can follow Tourism Snowy Mountains via their Facebook @Snowy Mountains or for more information via their website, www.snowymountains.com.au.

Know before you go By Dave Herring Most people reading this who venture into the backcountry will expose themselves to risk at some point whether here in Australia or overseas. Obviously technical knowledge is paramount to staying safe. The more we know about the snowpack, weather, terrain and avalanche formation and release the better. But what about when human factors cloud our judgment? Avalanche awareness and training have historically been focused on the premise that by teaching people about technical factors like the snowpack and avalanche terrain, they would make the right decisions, but the stats were showing that this alone was not keeping people out of trouble. The ‘human factor’ was affecting people’s ability to make good decisions. One study by the Colorado Avalanche Information Center found that nearly 90% of accidents were primarily caused by human factors not avalanche factors such as terrain or snowpack. Always challenge what you think you know and ask yourself, “How might I be wrong? Can I tolerate the evaluated risk level today?” Investigations into avalanche accidents has found that the victim either didn’t notice the danger or overestimated their ability to deal with it. Planning and decision making – which involve the human factors - are at least as important as technical knowledge. Experienced BC tourers and professionals counter the influence of human factors by being systematic in their approach to evaluating risk. Training, check lists, procedures and practice all contribute to a system aimed at aiding the decision-making process essential to staying safe. Equal to getting educated on the technical aspects of mountain safety, we must become more
aware of our own foibles and recognise our ability to make mistakes, then factor this into our decision-making. Mental shortcuts or ‘heuristics” that we use to get us through the day-to-day complexities of life can adversely impact our decision-making in the backcountry. We tend to take more risks when we use some of these shortcuts like: FAMILIARITY: We feel more comfortable with the familiar and can be complacent and take more risks as a result. “I’ve been here before.” ACCEPTANCE: Peer group pressure. Seeking acceptance by others. Not speaking up when maybe we should. No one wants to kill the party! COMMITMENT: Summit fever. Committed to a goal. “I have hiked all day and I am damn well going to ski it.” Sometimes you have to be able to say, today is not the day! EXPERT HALO: Following an expert who really isn’t one. “He knows what he is doing, doesn’t he?” As the saying goes “a little bit of knowledge can be very dangerous”! SCARCITY: Powder panic. Competition for fresh tracks. Competition and danger go hand in hand. SOCIAL PROOF: The herding instinct. Blindly following someone else’s tracks. Most people will agree they are bolder in a group than alone. People also believe their action is correct because other people are doing it. To learn more about “Human Factors” and everything to do with avalanches, do yourself a favour and get a copy of Bruce Tremper’s “ Staying Alive in Avalanche Terrain”. Absolutely a must-read for those who like to go beyond the resort boundaries. Two more extremely important resources. One is an online award-winning article from the New York Times “The Avalanche At Tunnel Creek”, and “Rescue at Cherry Bowl” is another online story that must be told. Google them.
Note: In Australia we now have an avalanche advisory website in the form of “Mountain Sports Collective” http://mountainsportscollective.org/ Have a look and support this volunteer service.

From snow to Mexico THE POULOS family have always been in the restaurant business. Con’s dad had the Snowy River Café in the Town Centre, Jindabyne in the 1960’s. They described it as the original fish and chip shop, from the milk shakes, mixed grill, pork chops with Con the little kid who ran around serving cappuccinos and the raisin toast. Fast forward to 2018 and Con and Donna Poulos are now the owners of Cocina Mexican Grill and Cantina, one of the busiest restaurants in Jindabyne. Before being restaurateurs though, there were many years of teaching skiing. Born and bred in Jindabyne, Con has taught skiing for over 35 years, and still does today although part time with select clients. Starting out in Perisher and for the past 27 years in Thredbo, Con was one of the elite instructors, a member of the Australian Professional Snowsports Instructors (APSI) demo team, an Interski member and was on the technical committee of APSI for 15 years. He has been instrumental in writing instructor manuals and has been widely published as a technical ski expert. He still teaches in Vail, USA and Thredbo today. When Donna first met Con in a ski school lesson in 1988, it was love at first sight with Donna ‘falling’ for her instructor. “That was pretty much it, we were never apart after that week, I went back to Sydney and kept working and we kept seeing each other,” said Donna. After nine years at Westpac Donna took three months off and went to live in Colorado with Con. On returning she “chucked it all in and became a ski instructor.” When asked what the pickup line was, Con laughed and said, “there was no pickup line, she just had to look at me.” “No, I think it was the fire jump we used to do at Perisher. We always used to party after
that, everyone was on an adrenalin high after jumping through the fire.” Donna became a level three instructor, originally at Perisher and then Thredbo and they worked back to back seasons at Vail and Thredbo together. “I have always like to teach, I should have always been a teacher. I think I ended up in banking and marketing through what my degree was, but I really think my love is I was a born teacher,” said Donna. “I love helping people and I always worked on the women’s programs at Thredbo and I wrote all the Sunday kids development programs and worked on the local schools’ programs. Brad (Spalding) and I worked together to develop all those kids’ programs at Thredboland.” During this time they had daughter Alex, who would be schooled in Jindabyne and Vail until she started high school. She now teaches skiing as well. From the minute they opened Cocina they have been one of the busiest restaurants with Donna saying “It’s having a good business model and it’s knowing exactly what the market needs and I think we filled a gap in the market.” “I think the fact we went with the Mexican cuisine is a lot do to do with our years living in Vail and Beaver Creek. We are very used to coming home from skiing, stopping on the way home for margaritas and some nachos so it fitted in very well with the ski background,” said Donna. “We have never been to a Mexican restaurant that wasn’t fun and didn’t have people enjoying their drinks. We want an atmosphere to relay the fun and excitement of the skiing industry,” said Con. They have a loyal following now from locals and visitors, many booking twelve months ahead for their next snow holiday. Their upstairs Agave Bar is also a busy

venue in the evenings where they offer tequila information nights. They stock 50 different bottles of tequila by far the most tequilas of any bar in the south east of the state. At the restaurant they have taken the same philosophy they used when teaching skiing. “If you don’t know your product you can’t really instil the virtues of it. So, our tequila nights are a forum for us to educate our guests and ourselves,” said Con “For most things it is all about preparation and knowing your product. In ski instructing we had to be fully versed in not just your skiing, but physics, bio mechanics, your psychology and these facets coming into the end product.”
They both agreed they had to understand every aspect of their market and compared it to instructing. “What makes a good lesson applies very much to the restaurant. Our customer service is constantly applauded by our guests and I think that comes from the ski industry,” said Con. “It’s giving that level of service above and beyond what someone would expect, I think that is what we always did as ski instructors and that is what we do as restaurateurs,” said Donna. They still love their skiing, Con still teaches part time and they aim to ski two to three mornings a week together and then back in the restaurant before opening.

Ikonic snow destinations OPTIONS just keep getting better for the intrepid snow traveller, and with the recent introduction of the new Ikon Pass you may just want to break out the North American maps and see how you can link one spectacular snow holiday. Mogul Ski World have some great deals, but where would you like to go. JACKSON HOLE Jackson Hole is big and one of the best resorts to visit with legendary terrain including Corbet’s Couloir and the scenic Teton Range of mountains. Boasting 450 plus annual inches of snow (over 11m) skiers and boarders will find some of the best powder days on over 1260m of vertical, just to give you some indication of what to expect. But don’t despair if you just like groomed runs, after all there are 133 trails to choose from and 12 lifts including the 100-passenger aerial tram to service two mountain areas, Apres Vous and Rendezvous. COPPER MOUNTAIN Copper Mountain in Colorado flies under the radar but with the Ikon Pass this resort will be well received. They will be installing two new lifts for this coming winter allowing easier access to all their great terrain. As an extra activity, be sure to try their

And yes, you can wear your cowboy hat just as local legend Billy the Kid does when he skis.

you will find so much skiing you might need to book for an extra week. Choose to ski at either Aspen Mountain, Snowmass, Aspen Highlands or Buttermilk. The legendary Highland Bowl is worthy of a hike for the strong and fit skier where you will float through some of Colorado’s best snow. MAMMOTH MOUNTAIN Mammoth Mountain in California has huge offerings in every way, with 845m vertical drop and 3500 acres of skiing you have endless choices. Take the gondola to the highest peak at 11,053 feet and enjoy panoramic views of the Sierra Mountains, this being just one of the 28 lifts.

Outside of a fantastic skiing there is snowmobiling, big in this part of the world, tube park and après snowcat tours for magical sunsets. SQUAW VALLEY AND ALPINE MEADOWS Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows are two mountains in one destination and have always been fixtures on skiers radar. From the famed KT-22 chair at Squaw, their legendary Palisades which made the careers of many a ski model including Scott Schmidt you will have a blast here. Alpine Meadows is a picturesque playground for families and off the radar thrill seekers alike. A combined 42 lifts and average snowfall of 1140cm, you will find snow galore on the 270 trails that cover a whopping 6000 acres.

Save Thousands at Big White Ski Resort... 4 Reasons to Visit Canada’s Favourite Family Resort ALWAYS considered a ski holiday in Canada, but unsure where to go – or why exactly you should go there? Here are our top four reasons for visiting Big White Ski Resort in British Columbia, Canada – also known as Canada’s favourite family resort. SAVE THOUSANDS ON A FAMILY HOLIDAY IN LATER JANUARY. You can currently find airfares departing Australia after January 18, 2019 for a steal. Prior to Jan 18, airfares are pretty dear currently starting at approximately $2600

FUN: Families have multiple other activities to join in.
per person, however, if your family has the flexibility to visit later in the month, prices drop to the $1100 per person level saving a family thousands of dollars. Sample package pricing via Big White Central Reservations prior to Jan 18, based on a family of 4 start at $3400. After Jan 18, prices drop and start from $1915. Packages don’t include tax, are approximate pricing and based on a family of 4 in a 2 bedroom standard apartment. IT’S EASY TO GET TO Yes – surprisingly easy. Air Canada flies direct to Vancouver from Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. Once you’re there, hop on a 45-minute connecting flight to Kelowna, where you’ll board a shuttle and be on the mountain in under an hour. THE SNOW - AND THE TERRAIN “It’s the Snow” is Big White’s motto - and you’ll see why when you arrive in the resort. With over 750cm of light, dry, fluffy powder falling annually, the mountain is the

definition of a winter wonderland. The mountain boasts 15 chairlifts along with 118 runs; 18% of which are beginner, 54% intermediate and 28% advanced/expert, with incredible tree skiing and a self-lifted terrain park. There’s also no need for beginner skiers to worry about exploring the mountain, as there’s a green run from the top of every chairlift. Be sure to keep an eye out for the world-famous ‘snow ghosts’ - the frosty trees that are the result of a unique ice rime phenomenon at the very top of the mountain. They make for the perfect Instagram shot while on your holiday. SKI-IN, SKI-OUT Whether you choose economy or luxury accommodation, you can ski right from your door to a chairlift! As Canada’s largest ski-in, ski-out village, Big White has something to suit every style and budget. Forget about getting a bus to the ski slopes or having to drive to a chairlift - it’s all about convenience at Big White. IT’S KID PARADISE Quite simply, kids will be in heaven at Big White. From the minute they arrive, they’ll be welcomed across the mountain at

They can go ice-skating, play hockey, try tubing, or gather around the bonfire to watch the fireworks with free hot chocolates in hand. Or they can participate in the regular schedule of free weekly events – including the weekly fireworks, checking out bingo night and getting their face painted on Carnival Nights. They’ll also love the Big White Kids Centre. Having been voted ‘The Best Place To Be Abandoned By Your Parents’ by UK’s Telegraph Magazine, they’ll enjoy the fresh meals, the rock-climbing and the endless fun activities on offer, on top of the skiing they’ll do with our world-class kids instructors. You can even arrange for the Kids Centre staff to come and pick your children up from your accommodation in the morning for their lessons, leaving you more time to get out for first lifts... or have a bit of a sleep-in.

TALK to anyone who has visited Silver Star Mountain Resort and you will surely see a wry smile appear on their face. Yes, there is more to this resort than meets the naked eye, just scratch underneath some of that exquisite 700cm of annual Okanagan champagne powder and you will reveal a wonderful resort that will surely bring you plenty of personal cheer. The first thing you notice on arrival is the vivid colours of this beautiful quaint village. It seems like ‘Mr Dulux’ had a special on bright coloured paints, but it really suits and makes the village unique. Themed after an early 1900’s mining town it is a winter wonderland and perfect for a family friendly snow holiday. A stroll through the village reveals interesting bars, superb restaurants and shops that line the charming main street. All accommodation is situated nearby which means it is 100% truly ski-in, ski-out. You ski out the door down the hill in the morning then return from the top of the hill right to your front door at days end. The star attraction and the resort’s best attribute is the terrain. Although Silver Star’s size can be deceiving it has the third largest skiable terrain in British Columbia with over 3,269 skiable acres (1,328 hectares). The skiing is sensational with so many great runs to schuss through silky smooth snow and it brings back fond memories of some of my all-time favourite best powder days among the trails on Attridge Ridge. The mountain is divided into two main areas, aptly referred to as the front side which lends itself to easy green runs and progressive blue, and the back side which is predominately blue, black and double black. This also makes navigation relatively easy plus there is terrain to suit all levels. The terrain is divided into 15% easiest, 40% intermediate runs, 35% most difficult, some of which are often groomed and 10% extreme on double black. A great addition this winter will be a brand new Dopplemayr eight seat gondola replacing the Summit chair that will whisk skiers directly out of the village. This accompanied by the Comet Express six-seater detachable chair will see enhanced lift capacity on the front side. For visitors who like long blue corduroy cruising runs, wax the skis and set them off as the longest run here is 8km. The gentler blue runs are also great for introducing friends to powder skiing and great teaching terrain for the highly qualified snowsports school instructors. While there are black runs on the front side, it gets more

interesting after you take the long winding Eldorado blue run to Putnam Creek and the Powder Gulch Express on the back side. Here you can often find perfectly groomed black runs, steep double black runs and a great variety of more experienced terrain to suit upper intermediates and advanced skiers. The beauty of this area is groups with varying levels can all ski off the same chair, challenge themselves accordingly on their chosen runs and meet at the bottom to ride the chair again. Long blue runs like Sunny Ridge and Gypsy Queen are perfect for intermediates while Doognog and Gowabunga will test the best. Skiing and boarding is not the only attraction though, the kids will love the tube town where laughter will fill the air, try ice skating on the frozen pond, the mini snowmobiles or even ten pin bowling at the Adventure Park. The cross-country trails are world class, boundless snowshoeing options or jump on board a horse-sleigh to take you to Wild Horseman’s Cabin where you can enjoy the best hot chocolate and buffet dinner you’ve experienced. For a unique experience, the ‘Paradise Camp’ lodge tour in a snow-cat will see you whisked away into the night for a remote dinner with fine cuisine, fantastic Okanagan wine and a warm fireplace setting the mood. Oh… and they even serve smashed avocado and poached eggs in ‘Town Hall’ and the best barista coffee to appease any self-confessed ‘coffee snob’! Another beauty of Silver Star is the Canadian friendly hospitality. If you have not experienced first-hand the locals’ friendliness, then this should definitely be your next snow holiday destination.

JAPAN is renowned for its deep powder snow, and visitors looking for that new adventure should well consider Hakkoda and the Aomori Prefecture on the northern tip of the main island of Honshu. Aomori Prefecture is full of tradition and culture and is perfect for those travellers looking to escape more westernised resorts, but also still find a mecca of snow options and the comforts of hotel style accommodation. Hakkoda Mountains is the collective name of the sixteen mountains which includes Mount Odake as the main peak. With snow laden trees they call ‘snow monsters’, and boasting big and rich snowfalls, skiing and snowboarding deep fresh snow in this beautiful environment brings a whole new meaning to the phrase best tree skiing ever. The snow monsters are formed with soft rime, a natural ice feature that is formed when the moisture of a thick fog instantly freezes on trees. Though thought to be common, this unique phenomenon can only be seen in Japan and other few countries. At Hakkoda Resort, take the large 101-person Hakkoda Ropeway Gondola which delivers you to the top of Tamoyachi-dake and majestic views of Tsugaru and the Shimokita peninsula. The ride up also allows magical views of the terrain below. From the summit you can carve signature turns in your own personal powder paradise. There are two main off piste courses where you can float between the Maries’ Fir trees that are caked in snow. This is perfect for the adventure seeker within the ski area boundary with long runs over 5km allowing you ample powder turns. On the lower section of the mountain intermediates can access the groomed runs. Backcountry terrain is also accessible on the ski routes that are open from March onwards. Professional guides are recommended for this area to extract the most of this natural experience and ensure you arrive safely at the bottom. Accommodation at the resort itself include Hakkoda Hotel, Hotel Jogakura and Hakkoda Resort Hotel and at the foot of the mountain is Sukayu Onsen, famous for Sennin-buro (bath of a thousand bathers).The guest rooms in the Sukayu Onsen ryokan facility are styled in traditional Japanese with veranda and tokonoma which is an alcove where art or flowers are displayed. Mount Hakkoda is included among Japan’s 100 most famous mountains, and while the snow seekers will love its pristine snow, outside of winter the scenery is spectacular. Hikers in summer and autumn take the gondola and then hike further to the top of Mount Hakkoda and its circular trail. It is one of the first areas to receive autumn colour. Branching off the circular trail you can hike

Skiing deep Hakkoda snow, the gondola offers great views of the snow monsters and hiking in the summer.
via Kenashitai, two marshlands connected by a steep set of stairs. From early to mid October, the shrubs and grasses of these marshes provide some outstanding autumn scenery. The trail through Kenashitai eventually continues down the mountain to a trailhead behind Sukayu Onsen, a solitary ryokan, which is known for its sulfuric hot spring waters and one of Japan’s most atmospheric, oldfashioned indoor baths. Travelling to Hakkoda is easy with regular flights from Tokyo. From Tokyo station, it is best to catch the Tohoku Shinkansen bullet train to Shin Aomori Station and take the JR bus Tohoku. From Haneda airport, you can fly to Aomori airport and catch a taxi.
