2009 the season that was....

[Tobi]

As the lifts have stopped turning for 2009 I would like to just say a quick thank you to Frog for waking up early each morning to do what he does best.

Thanks for your ideas, forecasts, opinions and guess work each morning for the last couple of months.

Looking forward to reading again in 2010.


Is to too early to ask when the long range forecast for next season will be up? graemlins/cold.gif tongue.gif

[Straight_Line]

I think sleep is overrated and also think Frog should continue his forecasting at each resort but insteed of snow depth forecast grass length.... only joking, good work froggie :D

[kneedeep]

yes would like to say thanx as well to the frog as i had a ball this season 23 days in total last one been the 30/9th smiles all round...

[Vet]

Thanx Frog, but next year please book more snow and less fog. graemlins/snow.gif

[Polaris]

A big :D from me too

[Podlettte]

Yep, thanks frog, without your forecasts we'd be a restless bunch........ that's what summer is right?

oh and could we have more snow, less fog and less wind for 2010 please smile.gif

[Vet]

I think the SnoGawds were hit by the GFC coz they must've been dining on baked beans.

[Crystal]

Ta muchly

[spaz]

was the season that..

I need catch up on sleep from.

[Polaris]

and also a special mention to Spaz for his daily vids :D

[Bear]

All done. :( Thanks Frog.

2009 the year of the interesting weather. :D

[BlueHue]

Yep thanks Frog!

And Spaz's daily vids were great as well.

Season definitely is not over for those prepared to earn their turns though, the next week or so looking rather nice indeed. Shame I might not be able to make the most of it as I'll be too busy looking for a new home and organising a wedding.

No worries everyone, just remember to hang around here still and watch the snow fall OS. Site will be much better next year and some big news coming very soon, probably will be able to say mid next week after I get back from the SIA Trade Show.

You going to be selling ski boots online next season. ;)

[Paul Oberin]

It was a very good retail year for ski shops in Australia in general, hire would have been better if there wern't so many wind hold days. I even got to ski two and a half days this year in Oz.

Thanks for the hard work you put in Frog, I only wish that you did updates on the weekends. I guess that most of us are weekend warriors, but I understand that you need your time off too.

[Eggson]

Cheers to Frog and everyone else for making this site and forum a great place to hang and lurk!

[Jerraman]

2009 was a memorable season for me, not for the snow cover because it was a bit mediocre, but because I had over 80 days of skiing. Being down at Thredbo for the entire season was awesome.

[Jerraman]

PS, thanks Frog for your regular updates. Even though I could get an idea of conditions by looking out the window, it was good to check the forecast over the coming week. And it was good to have a ski with you and Mrs Frog one morning.

[Edgy Scarver]

I have found this site to be excellent for assisting in planning snow trips. Much superior for forecasting than any other Aussie snow related sites.

I also enjoy the PO technical gear info.

Keep up the good work and the keep applying the KISS principle. Two experts are far better than a gaggle of pretenders.

Regards

Edgy

Hey Froggy, thanks for the forecasts over the season. It has been great.
Is there any chance you can update conditions for the next few weeks, going away to the Highlands after the SIA Tradeshow and would like to know what the weather is doing.

[The Frog]

Just ask in the forums and I will do my best to give a forecast.

[Mazza]

Thanks frog, dont expect you to go all out, but how much time would it take you to update long range forecast every week or so....
;)

[Paul Oberin]

Hey Frog I have a BBQ planned at West Wodonga around 6pm on the 19th of October, can you take a look and see if there will be any clouds around over my place. Thanks mate. ;) Oh and could you let me know today. Thanks.

[Mazza]
