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.

Upcoming Storm & Pics

After looking very daunting at first the latest GFS run seems to have slightly improved which now is looking like we will see more snow then rain out of this one.
There still will most likely be pre-frontal rain in the southern resorts which will not be too welcomed but the system seems as though it will improve through next week.

Heres a look at the forecast for Monday





I'm hoping that little rain falls for Saturday & Sunday and that the resorts accumulate at least a 10-15cm top up out of this rather then loosing snow.

Heres some pics from Thredbo's site of the Freeride series





Ill keep you updated when the snow starts to fall!

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!

Snowfall outlook

Today is Saturday here in Australia and ill be posting an extensive outlook for the snow over the next few days for the Australian Alps.

Lets begin starting today:

The weather is currently 6 degrees at the perisher valley and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much moisture around but there is a slight chance for a dusting over the peaks. It would most likely fall as rain around the village as the freezing level is sitting just a little bit high.



Tomorrow, being Sunday the 21st of June there is a small bit of hope some
of continuing throughout the day. Although unfortunately the freezing level may be too high for snowfall to accumulate on the lower valley. However we may see some snowfall above 1700-1750m (1-3cm) throughout the nigh.

Further outlook, over the next couple of days there looks like a small system will arrive on Tuesday giving the resorts a top up through until Friday which will hopefully add to the snow level.

As you can see the snow depth is on the decline, but ive added the last seasons graph just so you can see the difference.
