Underwhelming is a word that I would use to describe the weekend, and I fear with the snow that is falling while I type this word-heavy but picture-light report it will become somewhat redundant by Monday morning. Late last week many forecasts were calling for up to 40cm of fresh snow, and while I did
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
After a yet another miserable, drizzly/rainy day on Monday I was very surprised leaving the Whitt last night to cold, clear skies and snow guns blazing.

Half a dozen runs of Bourke St was plenty for the weekend but it was a lovely day so we decided to take a walk to the Summit: (Click to enlarge) Also, Jane’s Weather is forecasting a return to wintry weather with a series of cold fronts following some warm, wet weather in the leadup
After the excitement that generally coincides with an imminent ski season, followed by the disappointment of no snow falling at Buller due to the most recent storm’s SE orientation, it was finally time to head up to the mountain. We arrived at a reasonable hour on Friday night and the cats were out madly pushing
