Little Falls!

Great news!

The system we looked at a few days ago has come off better then expected!
There was barely much pre-frontal rain so it was cold enough to fall as snow and nice
dry snow is what fell overnight! The Cams are looking nice this morning at Thredbo & Perisher have indicated that the snow is nice and dry. It also looks like Perisher still have there snow making guns on







Looks superb out there today!

Looking ahead, the system will ease but things should stay cold enough so that the snow stays on the ground. Looking even further ahead, it seems we might not see much more snowfall until the end of the week. I will post a forecast later this week.

Decent Coverage

Well that system from last week was defiantly needed and has provided some sweet looking snow all over the resorts.

Heres a few grabs from various websites on & after the storm.









Plenty of dry snow feel which would have been dreamy to ski or board over after the storm.

Heres how the natural depth is looking in comparison to last year.





Looking further ahead there seems to be another decent storm on the way but unfortunately the freezing level seems to be a little too high to create decent snowfall. At the moment the forecast is suggesting rain & snow which but fingers crossed its not going to damage the cover from the last storm!

Its still a week out so ill keep an eye on it.

Snowy Saturday

The resorts are not looking too bad after being topped up with some snow over the last couple of days.



Thredo not looking too bad.

Thredbo today has the Freeride Series taking place in the High Noon Terrain Park. while Perisher is set up for the big ACP demo day, which includes the Burton demo from my earlier post.



Perisher still holding its cover

On a quick weather note, the snow should fall on and off today and hopefully continue this pattern up until Monday.

Enjoy the weekend!

Burton at Perisher This weekend

This is a heads up about the Burton Demo Tour - Australia
which is kicking off at Perisher valley this weekend 27th-28th of June. Should be a good day, all the gear will be up for demo so defiantly check it out.





I wasn't able to find any more information on the Perisher website which is a bit unusual but Burton have posted an inquiries number: Burton Australia 02 9935 9000. I will post any further information if Perisher decide to place it on their website.

Snow Snow Snow!

I was a bit concerned at first, for the early season snow when i looked on the snow cams and saw about 5cm of man made snow on front valley 1 day before the opening weekend. But then weather like this arrives:

Then it keeps snowing so that when we wake up on a cold Wednesday morning here in Sydney all we think about is how much it snowed last night.. So we look:

Smiggins looking already better then what it did at any point in 2006
















Mt P, looking very tasty.

Now it is only June 10 and with the depth showing around 65cm im hoping that this season will be a screamer but my own trip isn't planned for just under 2 months away so lets hope it stays wet over the mountains. Ill be posting forecasts regularly on here so stay tuned.
