I'll wait to the snow melts, so my face doesn't turn into a ice block.

And now we have POV. Pretty good pacing!

 

 

Might be the most lats on a coaster that's open here rn, judging by that POV.

They have a special for the next 3 months, if you book online.  $15 for one turn or $30 for 3 turns.  I also read you don't need a lift pass to ride it.  I believe the normal price will be $25 & $50.

Beat me to it. Looks awesome, especially when you have a crap winter! Anyway, here's another POV:

 

 

 

Also, five new coasters in NSW in three years is unheard of

Big Dipper, Little Nipper, Boomerang, Alpine Coaster... what's the 5th?

Had 3 rides on this today.  What a unique experience.  Not too much snow down on the flats of Thredbo, but had some falling while riding this.  It is a fun coaster, just a pain when there is a slower person in front of you.  They auto break to within 25m of each other.  I imagine the lines will be quite long next week with NSW school holidays, but longest wait today was 25 minutes.

Are the screens removed when it isn't snowing?

I didn't even consider that.  I have no idea.

Yeah Wiegand offer them as an option.

You can see the strap used to secure it here:

 

Hopefully they do remove the screens when it isn't snowing.

You can see them running both on and off in this video and at 1:03 you can straight up see one being taken off, maybe its riders choice?
