YeeHa! bring it on!
During winter (well, July anyway) i usually work up at Falls Creek as a ski instructor.. so everyone should come there, and i can teach ya' to ski to!
But if we go somewhere else, i'm still keen as mustard!

please don't poi on the snowboards!
dear god, i want you people to live. ur scaring me. snowboards have this way of hurting those who arn't used to them (or snow) poi-ing on snowboards.... i dunno, why don't you do three-section on a balance beam? I'm sure it's teh same idea... lol, ok that was an over reaction.
still, be carfeul about snowboarding, k? too many friends have gotten hurt doing it.
but then, i only ski xc, so what do i know?

Sounds like a cool idea, i'd be in.
As far as the sking/snowboarding while poing, well um, I think a fairly adequate skill level in both disciplines would be required, I've tried doing poi on my rollerblades and that was fun.
Oh and which resort would be the best for every one to meet at?
I usually ski/snowboard at Falls (Vic) and Perisher (NSW), Bulla is nice and close for all melbournians
Thredbo? (landslide fallin down) sorry bad joke.
Rough estimates: ticket prices: $50-70 per day, plus lodge and food/drink I think we'd all need a min of a few hundred for a weekend, but it'd be so worth it!

Ok, ok, I just sent off a few e-mails to places mainly in the falls... I have told the people that about 15 to 20 people will be coming so this may just turn out to be a pretty cheap weekend... and if this does go pretty good airsick... it just may become a yearly thing... I went to... https://fallscreek.albury.net.au/~karelia
and they will be getting back to me with prices, hopefully...

Other suggestion - I was in Canberra on the weekend & thought, would it not be amazing to twirl on the green slopes of parliament house ?
It was a day for screaming at inanimate objects.
What this calls for is a special mix of psychology and extreme violence...

If Splerph is able to make it that brings the tally to 11... falloutboy, Sarah..., Moon Pixie and Bec... if their able ( still waiting to hear from Bec...),Airsick_moth, Rozi, adren@line, jester, and me... Arsn... maybe we should make the close off point 20 people... thinking of how to get there, accom., food, fuel, skiing stuff and other things you may wanna buy...not everyone would have the money... but maybe atleast 20 will... what do you other guys think???
