Looks like we’re in for a bit more snow. As we know Buller is in desperate need of snow, and the chatter I’ve heard from Falls and Hotham is that while they are far from dire straits a nice little top up will be just what the doctor ordered, as their lower, sun facing aspects
We were joking in the bar on Tuesday night that the deluge raging outside was payback for five stunning bluebird days in a row. Wednesday to Sunday were beautiful conditions all across the alps, and I was fortunate to ski for three of those five (Reports in the Snow Reports section). I wasn’t planning on
UPDATED: Fri 29th June 11:45am: After what has been a warm & windy night in the mountains the cold is approaching – it was spelled out clearly in Jane Bunn’s Forecast that this one was going to start as rain and transition to snow during today. Texts from Buller and Facebook Updates from Hotham are
UPDATE: Wed June 20th 3:30pm Very brief update. All is on track for decent snow Thursday night into Friday. Biggest news is that the front on Sunday seems to be fading.

Natually a few adventurous walkers took advantage of the conditions but the snow depth wouldn’t have coped with a rush of skiers and boarders. However it wouldn’t have taken
I’ve been meaning to write this all week. I admit the avalanche beacon article took off much more than I expected. Late last week I hinted at the arrival of a weather system this weekend and that I would track its progress. I have been doing that and it’s bloody frustrating, it chopped and changed
In my blog post last week I hinted at the arrival of a potential snow-bearing weather system, however I have been holding off from posting about this weather system for the last few days. While it was picked up as a long range prospect over a week ago it hasn’t been terribly exciting as the
It’s that time of year again folks. The weather has most definitely cooled off, the alps have received their first few dustings and the spin goes in to overdrive.
