Unfortunately I have to start this post with some sad news. Regular aussieskier.com readers will know that I have strongly referenced and recommended Jane Bunn’s weather forecasts over the last couple of years.

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

Buller Snow Depth July 12 2012

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

Snow Forecast Tues 29th May 2012 – Buller Unlikely To Open Early

Buller Bourke St May 29, 2012

While the snowfalls of late last week were particularly welcome and made our mountains white, they weren’t quite enough to get things going on their own.
