I've only been to the snow once and I never thought I'd be warm again. I don't do well in the cold.

There's a place in Rockdale that I've heard are pretty good and sell snow and surf equipment.

Aussies are in no position to comment on snow. You have to go to a cold country to experience proper snow. Even NZ is better than Aus. Aus snow is... mediocre. Been to Queenstown before Beaky? There are some decent shops in the village to get gear. May be a little exe, but the exchange rate is likely to help in that regard. Then you only have to lug it one way this time too. The town is about ski season, so the quality and expertise is generally pretty good too. Just a thought! Have fun. I'm insanely jealous!!!!!!!!!

SNOW RAWKS! snowboardin is the ultimate sport. Its so easy to pick up but so satisfying. NOTHING can beat the feeling you get stepping out of the car onto fresh,deep powder on a sunny morning displaying nothin but blues skies, board tucked safely under your arm...... EPIC!
