Great video Mate however I couldn't make out the depth at Black Sallies.
Is it snowing in the Village again (hard to tell on the cams) as looking at the radar there looks to be quite a bit more coming (heavier falls).
Might hit Thredbo at about 14:00-15:00.

Oh, it's snowing inside VT!!

46cm

[Barcoo]

Thanks buddy.
snowing inside VT!! Is it that windy?

[spaz]

It's not gale force, just blowing around smile.gif

I was just told Thredbo claims 70cm. :confused:

[SnowSnow]

I find that hard to believe. Although they really have talked this system up!! And The frog got it right again. He always likes to go a little lower on
amounts though.

[spaz]

I guess they shoveled that much to get it out.

When the weather is a bit nicer I'll have to check my other locations and update the depths. That will mean staying on the hill a little longer. I hate this job ;)

[Barcoo]

Might want to measure Eagles Way ;)

[spaz]

I will check Eagles Way but remember they've been pushing snow to build up the cat track, my tape measure is only 3m. The old merritts falls, now the start of Supertrail will be interesting with windblown.

The groomed area's will also be interesting. Up to now they were 7cm. I'm guessing that's about how much the groomers need before they start bringing dirt through, which they've done a great job of doing.

[Barcoo]

Great news.
The temp has dropped, so has the barometer and the radar shows lots more snow coming yet. graemlins/woohoo.gif graemlins/snow.gif graemlins/snow.gif

I was just told Thredbo claims 70cm. :confused: Is your 46cm base depth or fresh snow from this storm?

Spencers Ck depth updated this afternoon to 70cm so maybe thats where Thredbo got the 70cm from? Their website is saying 45cm fresh from this storm as of 2:30pm.

It looks really nice outside now!

I can barely see High Noon and the snow- real snow, looks much drier and heavier than it's been all day.

[skijacski]

Hi Spaz just woke up!

..... and new snow!

You still at VT?

[Cordy]

oh spaz. music to my ears.

Yep it is really coming down, the little village buses have their chains on.

We just walked back from the Apres Bar with Richi, comments being that 1st in line of Kozi chair is important tomorrow.

Oh well I will just have to have fun with my snowtires in going to Canberra tomorrow.

[ozgirl]

Oh no skijacski. That is terrible...

And I meant to ask early - Spaz is your +1 goign to Sydney this weekend??? She is missing all this snow too... isn't weekend like this why you moved your family down there :)

[skijacski]

Nah its ok, too many cowboys out there and with the first snow they are acting crazy.

It should be good for those coming down though.

Spaz' +1 is already in Sydney - due back next week, work commitments.

[Barcoo]

The barometer has just taken another nose dive.
Hold on to your hats kids there is lots more to come. graemlins/snow.gif graemlins/snow.gif graemlins/snow.gif graemlins/woohoo.gif

[pow pig]

Some nice cold moisture heading towards Thredbo now. Should be there in the next couple of hours.

Vic resorts have probably been belted with snow tonite...
