EArLY TurNS I can’t remember the last time I skiied in June, but last week made it down to Thredbo for some very satisfying runs. So enthused I decided to drive up to Guthega to meet other hardy souls that might be up in the mountains enjoying the start to the season. Lovely drive, but no souls to be seen in any of the lodges which was a little, end-of-the-world, spooky. It did get me thinking that next year I’d take better advantage of the cheap tickets and cheery days, and see more of the season start. No lifts open at Guthega, but a newly graded road - as yet unrilled - and no queues to speak of in Perisher or Thredbo. Plenty of snow-making in both resorts now pretty much guarantee decent turns for the last half of June. The mountains in set-up mode also meant plenty of time to meet shop owners and service staff and talk at length at the season to come. I took the chance to have a look at the collateral available around the place and put together some hopefully handy information for general reference. Two numbers you need to save if you haven’t already National Parks and Wildlife Services 02 6450 5550 for weather conditions and 02 6450 5551 for road conditions Also good to note that Jindabyne BP is open 24 hours all Winter for late night dashes! There is a new domestic carrier flying to Cooma from June 2010. Aeropelican will have three return flights - Sunday to Friday - and two return flights Saturdays from Sydney Domestic. www.aeropelican.com.au For the digirati a new mobile channel that provides access to weather reports, snow cams and special deals - navigate to m.thredbo.com.au. Also to recieve SMS snow reports on your phone simply text a day of the week to 0411 553 689 and have the snow report sent to your phone at 7:30am on that day. I’m not totally biased but can’t find a similar service for Perisher Blue... See you on the hill, sooner rather than later! Rgds, RL.
