[D-Dog]

its a good start for the SUYSW 2009 version

[The Frog]

The big one was a one off for Pauls window. I do have heaps of smaller ones that I thought would look good on car window (to replace those annoying Frangipani ones).

If any shops want stickers to give away just say so.

[spaz]

My thoughts as well DHS.

Who will be first with a snowy show us.

[DHS]

I've resigned to the fact that I'll just have to do another one this year. Better make it very noticable. After all it's only a pair of goggles and all the info and advice we receive here is FREE. Not to mention the laughs and giggles.

THanks for all your hard work in running this site for what I am sure at times seem slike a thankless site and for scott for their support of your site.

Both the goggles and the sticker will get a test run this friday at buller (snow friendly boss gave me the day off...I think in part so she can get some peace and quiet and stop hearing about graemlins/snowatch_emoticon.gif ;) .

[The Frog]

You are all welcome, and to those who have sent me addresses fear not you will get yours soon.

Its nearly the end of July and not many entries this year so far! :confused:

[Hunter Valley Snow Friends]

Wednesday 29th July 2009. Our group skied and boarded all over Smiggins in these suits. Across the afternoon we were seen by hundreds of fellow skiers and boarders. We were asked by so many people what we were promoting and we were more than happy to spread the word about the best snow forecasting website around snowatch.com.au. It took a dedicated team of 24 snowatch enthusiasts to make this happen and we feel that we should be rewarded in some way for spreading the good word. The photo attached should show the dedication involved in making this happen.

PS we shall endeavour to put the video footage on youtube.com and the people at Smiggins Hotel and Perisher would like to put the photos on their website as well. http://i600.photobucket.com/albums/tt87/ccook75/snowatch/snowatchmain2.jpg

[Billy]

Awesome!!

[The Frog]

Now that is very good, but it must have been hard to stay in order all day. smile.gif Well done everyone, but remember any prizes that I give away are not announced til seasons end or close to.

[tammiodo]

ahhh that really is just awesome!

[Tobi]

Great work!!!

:D

[Silverwitch]

Brilliant!!! smile.gif graemlins/woohoo.gif

Thanks Frog, Pleased to hear you were impressed.
We will wait with great anticipation till the end of season.
In the meantime our photo has been proudly displayed at "The Shed" Snowy Mountain skis Jindabyne.

[DHS]

Awesome job. That will take some topping.

That is just great work peple of the Hunter Valley - awesome stuff

Like Farty I really like the DOT people

graemlins/woohoo.gif

[Hunter Valley Snow Friends]

Thanks again from the DOTS

[Farty The Snowman]

No worries HVSF. By far the best for a while.

Sorry I didn't get the message through PM, rather on email through Snowatch, so I cant reply. Don't know what happened there :confused:

[Polaris]

awesome!!!
Notice how it was the Neanderthal snowboarders that got suc.ked into being the "dots" ;)

[ernie_luvs_2_ski]

Will the goggles be on time share if you win? ;)

[Polaris]

oh btw Frog, thanks for the package!!!! Cheers!!!!!!!

and I must add, Scott have some awesome products!!!!

[Hunter Valley Snow Friends]

Just for the record in our Hunter Valley Snowatch there were 4 skiers in suits the photographer and his assistant, the traffic controller and 2 colouring in experts.
So that makes 15 boarders ranging in age from 20yrs to 53yrs and one very mature age choreographer in walking boots make up the 24.
Great Fun Had By All.

[Azz]

That is an awesome effort !!!

Top work everyone involved. graemlins/snow_cool.gif graemlins/snowatchrocks.gif

[chunky]

As they say on the Footy Show - That's gold Hunter Valley!

[Polaris]

You could have done your own on a road side snowbank while you were hanging around doing nothing last night Chunky ;)

There was still huge chunks (no pun intended) of ice and snow falling out of the front of Chunky's truck at 3:00 this arvo.

He tells me he is thinking of changing career to 'stunt driver' ;)

[Polaris]

shouldn't that be "not very good stunt driver" ;)

[Azz]

well, I thought it, just didn't want to say it :D

[Polaris]

well i thought i could drive away faster so I risked it ;)

[tammiodo]

who has the snowatch banner on their balcony at the Arlberg at Hotham? Just saw it from the bus... good spot!!

[The Frog]

We had one on our balcony at Thredbo but I'm sure you wouldn't have see it from there.

[Legolas]

graemlins/big_laugh.gif

[Straight_Line]

Banner went up Wednesday 12/08/09, taken down Thursday 13/08/09 due to the wind, went back up Friday..... Total of nine days so far.

[The Frog]

Good work. That would have been seen by plenty. The building needs a coat of paint.

[Snowie Meli]

Yeah that caught my eye when I was at hotham

[skijacski]

Plus 1 loved the photos of Arlberg, as he did all the drawings for it and lived there while it was being constructed.

Needs a bit of a gut and refit I think. Looking a bit sad.

[Straight_Line]

Never really noticed the outside issues till I saw the close up as well. Does need a spit and polish.

I have seen a few of the units and they have been renovated nicely, there are of course some that are not. As these are individually owned you cant force them to spend money.... I believe these are last to rent though.
