Why doesn't he say outright that it is commision sales,
then when you are signed up - tying to sell overpriced diet products
(although they are good) to a market that is in recesion, 
along with hundreds of other hopefulls trying to make their millions!!!

There spiel is basicly the same as Amways talk  but with a restricted 
product range.

The group structre is a modified pyramid so that it's all legal 
and everything but you are working for your self, and the next 
guy up the line, and the guy above him etc... then you go onto overrides
after the chain becomes three deep.

Apart from that have you got $100 to get you intop this unique
money making enterprise

We were at Buller from last Wednesday until Friday and can 
report that the snow was excellent, with over 170cm when we
arrived and snow showers whilst we were there. Thursday night
saw at least 10cm of relatively dry snow fall, giving superb
skiing on the more easterly facing slopes on Friday. (The 
reason the eastern slopes - Standard, Bull run, Wood run, 
Federation and Little Buller Spur - were better was because they 
were protected from all the wind, which the radio said was
giving a wind chill of -10; not overly pleasant when you were
exposed to it.) Virtually all the lifts were open, and the crowds
were not too bad at all (but remember this was midweek). 
A few people in the meteorolgy dept here also believe it would
have been snowing in the last couple of days as well, so it
looks like it is just the right time to go.

So far, there has only been one or two days of spring skiing.  The rest of the
time it is very cold and keeps snowing.  The official depth is now 2.8m.  The
actual cover on each slope varies a lot however, from a worse case of 80cm
(some spots on Blue Ribbon) to about 6m (the walls of snow on the road in).

I kid you not, there are 3 100m stretches of road where the walls are 4-6m.
At one point you could easily stack 5 cars on eachother and just be reaching
the top.  Most of the road has walls of about 3m however.

Overall there is still not as much snow as last year though, but its getting
close.

Because of the continual fresh falls of snow, the snow quality has remained
excellent.  At least one in three days over the last three weeks has had fresh
dry snow.

Officially the resort closes on 4th October, but as usual it will be closing
on a perfect cover of snow.  Mid week now has very few skiers.  Only the
weekends require any waiting at all.

There is mounting pressure in Australia to move the ski season at least two
weeks later in the year (i.e. last weekend in June till the second last
weekend in October).  This would significantly increase the percentage of
"Official" season with a good cover of snow.  Really the safest period in
Australia for skiing is mid-July till the end of September.  Making about 75
safe days each season.  Only about 1 in 5 Queens birthday weekends have any
snow at all.

So join in and pressure you local ski associations to move the season.

A meter of new snow per week is not a bad average.  There is still not as much
as last year though, and most definitely not as much as 1981.  But there is
absolutely nothing to complain about (except perhaps the lack of sunshine).

The inaugural "Austalian Extreme Skiing Championships" was apparently a great
success even though the last day was cancelled due to winds and poor
visibility (Thursday and then Friday).  But the locals weren't upset.  That
left all of that fresh dry snow to them (and me).

Spring skiing should be great.  It will take a lot of warm weather to melt
whats there before mid October.  And so far it hasn't shown ANY signs of being
warm.

So get up there for late season skiing (or to whatever other mountain -
because I bet they're all just as good).

Happy skiing,

There was heaps of snow last weekend - over 2m at 1800m near White's
River Hut, which was almost completely buried. We skied over the roof!

The fresh powder was up to 40cm deep in places, and it was possible
to ski right back to the power station at Munyang (1350m).

Looks like it's going to be a great spring, as long as it doesn't rain
too hard too soon.

This is the price we were asked to pay last Saturday
(for ladder chains) when it was declared that chain fitting
was compulsary.  This seems a bit steep to me and so I thought
others might want to know to be prepared.

N.B. There were heavy snow falls all day and it took 3 hours to get up

Well Rob,  I was at Hotham last weekend (4-7/9) and there was
oodles of snow.  (You could ski off the roof of our lodge !!)
All areas were thickly covered, so I imagine
the same goes for Falls Ck.

It was snowing on and off teh whole three days, sometimes quite
heavily.  But when we left on the Monday, there was sleet and 
rain by Dunghey's Hollow (about 3 km above the place where you
pay the money for parking on the Harrietville road).  ie not
too far from the top of the mountain.  You could see that the 
snow lower down the mountain was disappearing, but on the slopes
there was no detectable change - after all, it was snowing :-)

I expect that there will be ample snow at Falls at the end of
Sept, and in fact, well into October (says he sticking his
head out !)

6--13-SEP-1992
==============

6-SEP:  We started from Guthega Power Station.  Snow a bit marginal at the
bottom, but got better quickly.  Weather was a bit misty and windy, with
the ocassional snow shower.  Snow was quite deep (White's River hut almost
buried).

7-SEP:  Skied to Valentine's Creek in similar weather, turning to heavy
snowfalls in the afternoon.  The Valentine was still crossable on skis
adjacent to the hut.

8-SEP:  Fine day, with light cloud in the afternon.  Skiied to Jagungal and
spent a bitterly cold night under a clear sky.

9-SEP: Sunny morning and a cloudy afternoon.  Skiied to Town of Ross, and
camped at headwaters of Back Flat Creek.

10-SEP: Low cloud varying between 1700 and 1900m didn't stop us from having
an enjoyable ski over Rocky Bogong and the Grey Mare.  We then skiied down
to Pretty Plain via Bull's Head Creek.  Intermittent sago showers kept the
skiing surface fast.  There was a good cover of snow at Pretty Plain
(30--40cm) with few gaps.  We were able to jump Bull's Head Creek to pay a
visit to Pretty Plain Hut.

11-SEP: Windy, slightly misty day with snow showers turning to sleet in the
afternoon.  We skied down Back Flat and were able to jump Back Flat Creek
(just), Straight Creek, and the Geehi River (by dicey jumping from snow
covered rock to rock).  We made camp by the Geehi, as the sleet turned back
into snow.  Snow falls continued through the night.

12-SEP: Snow fell continuously, very heavily at times, letting up by about
5pm.  There had been about 50-60cm of new snow in 24 hours.  We skiied back
to the Valentine, but had to go further upstream to cross it this time.

13-SEP:  Temperature at 7am was -5C.  We had a fast ski back to Munyang in
fresh dry snow.  There was 30cm of snow in the Power Station car park. 
Driving back to Kancoban, it was clear that the heavy snow falls had gone
down very low, with snow on the Alpine Way well down from Dead Horse Gap,
and even substantial snow on Scammells Spur (about 1000m).
