Dragon's Jindy APX Bash & All Premium Experience Snow Goggle Training



Last week, snow retail staff from around Jindabyne, Perisher and Thredbo packed into the Banjo Paterson Inn in Jindabyne, New South Wales, for Dragon's annual LSD "All Premium Experience" Sales Training - a snow retailer training event focusing on the premium snow goggle category and key sales techniques. The event also launched Dragon's Retailer Snow Incentives program for 2012.

This session was closely followed by our annual Jindy Bash - with BAGSvDK bringing their skills all the way from Melbourne to keep the guests crammed into the Cocktail Bar and glued firmly to the d-floor. In true Jindabyne style, the party didn't wrap up until well into the following morning, with the surrounding hills eerily quiet the next day... Check out some of the photos here!
