Festival of Mike - Jindabyne 2006

The Bullski Crew celebrated the festival of Mike at the snow this year. The gala event of the festival was dinner on Saturday night at the Rock 'n Pot Restaurant at the Jindy Inn. Joining Bullski for the first time was Snowboarder and trainier extraordinaire Nigel Surry and his mates Dan, Nikki and Al, all Jindy locals.

To those of you who were not lucky enough to attend the Festival of Mike, I'd like to draw your attention to the hot rocks in front of everyone on which they cooked their own meals. Awesome!

Pre-Bullski 2006 report by Shredder

Hi Craig

Please accept our humblest apologies. It was hard to get worked up about someone elses weekend away. Particularly when we were just a tiny bit self absorbed with the planning for our own weekend at the snow. I for one can now fully appreciate your enthusiasm and have vowed to spend more time getting fit before the next BULL-SKI 2006. 'Cause we were not prepared & you're right - it does hurt. A lot.

If it was necessary to rank the performances over the weekend:
Award for most number of unforced errors goes to Mike, who stacked it many times for no reason.

Award for most improved goes to Big Dog, that training camp in Austria earlier in the year paid dividends for this athlete.

Award for best looking snowboarder on the slopes goes to Kit Zane, who also gets the award for best demonstration of inappropriate swedish stretching on the ski tube.

The true stand out performance on the slopes undoubtably goes to the fairly inexperienced Bull-Ski participant Romi. Romi deserved the award for carving it up all day, both days. Despite coming home a bit bruised and battered, Romi claims to be ready for more in August.

Keep smiling

First to to the snow (Bullski Now!)

It snowed a lot last weekend. And my goodness I was sore after the first day. Bullski now, no matter how much you prepare it's gonna hurt. In a good way.

It is a crisp, clear morning in Perisher Blue! Fine and mostly sunny weather has been forecast until Friday when we are expecting snowfalls. Temperatures were down to -10°C last night - just what our snowmakers like to see! They fired up 69 snowguns overnight across Perisher Valley, Blue Cow and Smiggin Holes.

IT DUMPED........ REALLY
Around 10.45 am Sunday 7th May, the snow began to settle on the Perisher Blue Slopes leaving a great cover, which on Monday (8th May) was 20 -30 cm plus deep in the car park alone, with drifts much deeper . Temperatures are well below zero overnight and for a good part of the day as well (check the weather stations). All this points to a winter fast approaching. The long range weather forecasters are predicting more good early snowfalls, so fingers crossed....
