I did a season in Falls Creek last year and just turned down another due to "having to come back to the real world". I have a feeling the season will be average again this year anyway, but i might hit up NZ in August anyway. As mentioned above Japan is the place to go, amazing powder and hot springs with cool little monkeys!!

Anyway if anyone is planning/going up i will be in for sure. I'm also a ski instructor so anyone who cant ski, i can give you some basic tips and exercises so you can at least do the green runs!

Also if you can buy gear in the US DO IT! The market over there is huge and all the prices are really good!

I'm so in for any trip snowboarding anywhere.. yes JApan is the place to go I had a trip booked for last year until I broke my leg was going to cost me $1700 for 9 days.. thats skiing and flights.. u can get accom over there in these little bungalow things basically liek a backpackers lodge just below the mountains and it equates to around 30bucks for a week.

Japan has the longest runs and longest lifts in the world and damn I was disappointed not to go..

But... NEw Zealand does have a great atmosphere and the powder after a light fall is unbelievable..

Damn you for getting me thinking I should buy new gear.. lol oh well out with last years gear in with some new...

      My BMW 335i

      There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.

      yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.

      Yes, well. Mine are less than half that. ARBs are not set to "dumb" either.

      I would hope. But, we all know even the best companies have an issue sporadically.

      LOL well, lucky mine doesn't have some R shit on it. Around town, it handles so much better than the R33, R33 in the wet is pretty dangerous to the untrained hoon, especially with 13kg/mm front springs.
