Snowboard instructor Chloe Ringwood spent two hours with the snow virgin trying to help him stay upright.

“I fell a few times, my brothers Johno and Ben who are quite good at it, said ‘you are absolute crap’,” Jamie said.

“You can’t lean forward too much or you’re history.

“I’ll be back today and tomorrow giving it my all.”

The West Australian will stay at the resort until Wednesday with former housemates Dino, Claire and John for their first real break since they concluded the high-profile, roller coaster ride, on BB06.

“I never imagined Australia had snow and cool mountains like Falls Creek,” he said.

“It is very different from where I grew up in Perth.

“I was a beach boy and used to surf at Cottesloe Beach all the time.

“This is spectacular there’s lakes and awesome valleys, there’s snow everywhere.”

Last night, the four housemates were the star attractions at a Falls Creek CFA fundraising dinner.

And while they say the Big Brother experience hadn’t changed them personally, they all agree on one thing — it has catapulted them from being ordinary Australians to being known wherever they go.

“I expected to dodge pint glasses thrown at me in the pub but it has not been like that,” Jamie said.

Meanwhile, the annual sled dog derby at Dinner Plain at the weekend was cancelled through lack of snow.
