Big White

Hi everyone, Let me introduce myself, My Name is Trevor, and I’d thought I’d start a thread for those going to Big White. This way we can get to know each other. So if you’re going to BW drop a line and say G’day. From that you may guest that I’m an Aussie. Because I’m sit on the other side of the world at the moment I was unable to get to the reunion party, but I hope everyone had a good tine. During our winter I’d just spent 5 weeks skiing at Perisher and Falls Creek. Only had one accident and that was a dislocated elbow while on my board. Yes I ski and board and I love them both but I will be skiing in BW. I’m an EX-banker. Because I have just recently quite my job as I think the life of a ski instructor is the life for me. At the moment I fill in my time play golf and wakeboarding. But not for long only 58 days to go. I’ll be meeting up with everyone in Vancouver so till then drop on and say Hi

Hi Mike and Frazer. It's great to meet you guys. Can't wait to meet you in person. It looks like I missed a really good night. It sounds like everyone is excited as I am.

Mike, I hope you got some skiing in as it wasn't our best season to put it lightly. We managed to find some spots but no real powder. Looking forward to that.

Frazer, just think not long till no more congested motorways just the peace of the alpine village. Just hang in there mate.

Cheers Trevor

Found another one Very Happy

Seem to see more of themountain in that one. Looks wicked.

I didnt get to ski while I was in Oz, I was there just for the start of spring I think and I was on the east coast. Went to Byron Bay and Nimbin and Sydney. Thats all unfortunatly didnt really have enough money for much else. Loved it though.[/code]

Well,

Straight after the snowskool reunion I had to haul ass to the happiest little place on Earth (namely Sellafield) so have only just got back to check the latest postings.

I'll repeat what everyone has said and agree that meeting everyone at the reunion (Big White crew especially) was great. Apologies for not saying bye to you Frazer, I think I was busting some particularly bad dance moves in Reflex when you left so I owe you a beer when we get to Heathrow. Was good to meet our leader Dunk, I have the feeling he'll wake up Big Whites sleepy party scene and they'll probably re-name Snowshoe Sam's Geordie Dunk's by the end of the season.

I managed some 'South o' the Equator' skiing too but it was in New Zealand. Australia is next on the list so I'll be able to join the Oz club soon Smile

Trevor, look forward to hitting the slopes with you mate, sounds like you have far too much experience for me to keep up though so I'll try my best.

Right back to t' mill, on a final note will this year NEVER end? Those webcam shots of Big White are looking sweeter and sweeter......

Great to meet you to Russman.

Sounds like you survived the party. And I think I'll have to have a few drinks a catch up with some people.

Looking forward to meeting you in person, hitting the slopes and having a few beers afterwards.

Don't worry I've never seen real power before I've only skied in Oz.

Cheers Trevor
