Complimentary.


Smileys are just you. I had the same problem, Admin fixed it. Let them know here https://www.boardworld.com.au/forums/viewthread/13351/P480/ or send rider26 a PM.

THats pretty awesome you will have passes for both resorts. Which have you ridden more?

Will get the smileys fixed for your account. Sorry about that.

EDIT: Danny, they should be fixed now. Please let me know.

Hah, my smileys are working now..
I even refresed the page last night and that did not work..meh.

(EDIT, I see Riders new post^ Thanks man!) grin

I’ve ridden Thredbo more. (And Hotham heaps too!)

Love both of them! And Spaz, you say short runs at Perisher, that’s my pickle also. Being having no real experience with KT, Threddy doesn’t have that negative for me, just yet lol.

I’ll definitely head on over and post in the perisher thread grin
Damn! How many of those free passes do you have!? What are they exactly.. like season passes? I keep thinking comp= competition though? lol?

Who on here runs the BW FB page out of curiosity? That Merrits pic looks good, but the honest pictures show a slightly different truth haha!

No worries mate! shaka

I maintain the Facebook page. At this time of year the snow won’t stick around for long, but it’s good to see the snow falling, even if it’s just helping to cool the ground for the snowmakers. Also gets people stoked for the season! Yeeeew!

By knowing so many of the yokals I tend to get good info and photo links.
It’s my winter mission to give accurate details of snow conditions - probably why the resorts aren’t to keen on employing me.

Thredbo post images without much detail. When I get hold of them I tend to burst the bubble by adding the location. eg the image below is taken at the top of Snowgums Chairlift at Black Salees restaurant where snow tends to accumulate. (they have obviously searched for the best place to photograph snow.

Haha! Yeah they hope people think the above is Friday Flats!

Well, they didn’t exactly cover the fact that they road the chair up - it was uploaded to fb with the chairlift photos.

Done well from a marketing angle - those that know don’t feel cheated and those with no idea think a ton of snow fell in the village.

Get creative with it. Could just make is something like xcam.aus or xcamAU? Still way better than the current long URL.

Funny story…

I really wanted to register http://www.facebook.com/boardworld for our page. When I tried it said it was taken already. I was pretty annoyed to say the least. When I investigated to see who stole our business name on Facebook, I was surprised to learn it was ME. I had registered the Boardworld Australia personal page with /boardworld. I have regretted that decision ever since, but at least no one else can steal it haha.

Yeah xcamaus is available but i just didn’t want to change it without Spaz okaying it! LOL - you can never change it!

Neither facebook.com/xcam or snocam come up with anything so I don’t know why we can’t have it.

In other news Thredbo have come out with the cheapest day ticket (apparently, anyone know how my Ben Lomond or Selwyn are?)

Must purchase before midnight the day before you ride.

Usernames must be at least 5 characters so “Xcam” is too short. Don’t know why SNOcam wont/can’t??

I set the URL to; https://www.facebook.com/XcamAus

wink thanks Oz it took me ages to settle on XcamAus. Having you suggest it here gave me the confidence.
