After my sneaky day trip on Thursday it was good to get back up again for the weekend with the good weather forecast. We started early and headed straight to Little Buller for some hot laps before the hordes turned up. Ski Patrol had a massive presence on speed control which was good to see.
After another storm rolled through over the weekend things are looking really good. It’s crazy to think that it’s only the start of July. The riding has been fantastic, plenty of fresh tracks to be had and for those not really interested in that sort of thing the groomers with their packed surface were excellent
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
UPDATED: Fri 22 June 12pm It snowed. Yesterday’s NW feed continued to deliver, and by later in the evening it was NSW’s turn to receive as well. Temperatures were not cold but the precipitation was prolific and as they are usually want to do in a NW, Hotham and Falls Creek reported 48cm and 30cm

Instead we are looking at an extended period of very cold temperatures for snowmaking. I’ll only update this page again if something drastic happens
It’s amazing what a difference a cold night can make: It’s a very pleasing sight after many inversions this year have stymied snowmaking efforts. Meanwhile at Hotham, an eagle-eyed viewer has spotted a liftie shovelling snow at the Heavenly load: Some good pics rolling in to aussieskier.com/social – check them out. Will have a look
UPDATE: Friday 11:30am Last update before the long weekend – in a couple of hours we will be in the car on the way up to the hill. Snowmaking has been the story of the last couple of days with the resors all publishing pics of the guns in action: In addition to this snowmaking
UPDATE: Friday 9:00pm: UPDATE: Friday 4:30pm: Bourke St looking pretty white: UPDATE: Friday 2:20pm: One more pic and confirmation that snowmaking is going on Summit and upper Shakey. 10cm so far is the estimation: UPDATE: Friday 2pm: Some more pics have just arrived from Buller: They arrived with the comment: ‘Ski Patrol out putting up
So you’ve been watching the forecasts, and a front is on it’s way. You’re read here what a waste of time long range forecasts are, but you’ve identified a weather window thanks to some medium/short range forecasts. It’s now D-Day and you want to track what’s going on up in the hills so you can
