In case you have been living under a rock, there’s been a season pass price war amongst Australia’s resorts. Except Buller – they put their prices up. The story goes like this: Perisher announced their Freedom Pass on the 4th of September and sent shockwaves through the industry. Skier numbers and participation were plummeting and

2012 Line Skis Range and Review
I think the Line Prophet 90 is the best ski I’ve ever owned. It’s built like a wide GS ski, with a twin tip for versatility. It can carve on everything but boilerplate, charges full speed off-piste, and only starts to feel narrow once the pow reaches your boot tops. We ski a lot of
How To Track A Snow Storm
So you’ve been watching the forecasts, and a front is on it’s way. You’re read here what a waste of time long range forecasts are, but you’ve identified a weather window thanks to some medium/short range forecasts. It’s now D-Day and you want to track what’s going on up in the hills so you can
Ski Boot Fitting – Modern Boots, Ramp Angle and Forward Lean Geometry
Ski Instructors are notoriously tight, and love a deal on a bit of equipment. I was no different and jumped on a smoking deal on a pair of boots one day. They were a reputable brand, the same as the skis that I was loving at the time, so I just grabbed my size and

Top 5 Bootfitting Tips
A good bootfitter is worth their weight in gold. Or beer, as the unofficial ski resort economy would dictate. In the various ski towns I lived in I managed to find the local guru and was eternally grateful for their services. During my recent trip to Chamonix I needed some work done, and when I
Life as a Ski Instructor
This post continues on from my post last week So You Want To Be a Ski Instructor? In my last post I covered the process by which you become a Ski Instructor, and some of the basics of the initial certification process. But what’s it like to actually be a Ski Instructor? Well the honest
Ski Instructor Courses – How To Become A Ski Instructor
I was extremely fortunate to spend my 20′s as a Ski Instructor. I spent a decade travelling back and forth between Buller and the USA, with 200+ days on snow per year, 4 months off work in between seasons. I found myself skiing all over the mountain with some of Buller’s hottest young rippers, and
Medium/Short Range Weather & Snow Forecasting
In a post earlier in the week I covered what a futile question it is to ask “Is it going to be a good season?”, I feel it’s quite the opposite when it comes to Medium and Short range forecasting, and if you are someone that’s flexible with their time you can use this knowledge
Is 2011 Going To Be a Good Ski Season?
As a Ski Instructor & Lodge Manager for many years – it was a question that I loathed. It never ceased to surprise me that such a question should be asked in such an earnest manner by such a large group of people who really should know better. Not to mention the myths, superstitions and
