...

I was told recently that I haveto take time off soon to rest and replenish.. blah blah blah. So I'm going to the snow for a week in late August (conveniently enough the same month that all the super awesome people in life are born!).

that said - a little birdy mentioned to me that the Victorian skifields are now using Class A Recycled Water for snow-making. anyone know if this is the case? I haven't been to the mountains in a while and I'm out of form.. I'm prolly gonna eat quite a lot of snow.

someone please tell me it won't be recycled poo...

*edit* now with 100% more link.. and yeah it's not fit for human consumption.

oh - and does anyone have a 6' click-in goofy board they want to sell/lend/hire/will code for food/etc

fyi recycled water is actually cleaner than fresh water. but never mind let those assumptions run wild!!

haha retard

oh noes teh recycled water

in before lock. gay thread

I dont know of any Gay Ski Resorts but could try France.

Shame koopz, shame shame shame.

stay away from the yellow / brown snow, most often it's fresh not recycled.

So you are worried about water that has been through 7 filters. But water that has drizzled through cow pats, through the pesticide riddled whatever into a dam with fish s***ting, pissing and fornicating in it is fine.

Going to the snow is hardly relaxing, unless you plan to sit around in your cabin infront of a fire. But even just walking down the street in snow and on icey slopes is a huge chore, unless you are really fit I guess...

a little birdy metnioned

haha it's 'mentioned', idiot

RO water tastes like arse for completely different reasons

I've been snowboarding in NZ it was pretty cool for a first experience.. would be mad to do again. Lots of stacks though =[

Why are you after a click in setup?

You own click in boots?

It doesnt matter what stance you have for a board. You just point the bindings in the other direction.

You spelled surprised correctly well done.

I think you need more than a holiday koopz.....

I do eh...

you guys were right.

thank you so much for you participation.

eating snow is pretty fun once you start you really cant stop

So you're going down to the ice to get away from the ice hey?

is koopz an icehead?

it would explain some of his rambling uncomprehendable posts

I reckon he is and that's why he has been forced to go on this break.

you live in toowoomba don't you?

i reckon you're onto something spook, for serial

it was a totally random OP, I'll give him that, it snapped me out of my daydream yesterday. i just can't believe it's still here today.

yeah - definately need a holiday. Insanely long days are getting to me atm.


the point I failed to make was that Victoria's Class A water is not fit for human consumption, but the PDFs on the MtHotham webby says it's mmmkay. I can appreciate that water is in short supply in Vic, and they're doing some great work recycling for crops, but I don't feel that it should be used for snow production. Kids eat this stuff - tons of it. I know my brothers and I did when we were kiddies.


Anyways - this is a first-time run of it so we'll see how it all goes.

Threadbo ftw =)

neither is man-made snow that's not made from class A recycled water - and unless the documents you linked to are lies or wrong, there's nothing for you to be concerned about

You and your brothers are retarded.

I think the only thing you need to worry about with recycled water is hormones since sewage is full of estrogen. The treated product has only microscopic amounts but apparently it's a pretty potent hormone and even small doses can have an effect.

So if you find yourself blubbering like a girl about your feelings after you have a stack it might be a good idea to man up and have a beer before continuing skiing.
