My final weekend in Thredbo was preceded by
another 75cm dump in this unbelievable season.
Just
to keep up with NZ the Australian resorts saw 50cm
fall in one night followed by 25cm throughout
Wednesday. Reports of waist deep powder came flooding
in on Thursday and a Canadian instructor based in
Thredbo declared it was 'just like being back home....'
Following
the early start to the season where most resorts opened
one week early the buzz now is for an extension
to the season which is due to finish on the weekend
of 29 September. With the Sydney Olympics kicking
off on September 15 most ski operators are predicting
a very quiet end to September even with the current
snow conditions so you can bet if they can keep selling
trips longer they will. Whether the resorts will give
out the free lift passes they did for the early opening
remains to be seen....
Forecast for this week is for snow for Monday to......Thursday!
Over a metre to come in the next few days....maybe
I'll hang around a bit longer...
[Stop
Press later on the 22nd - It looks like James called
it right...another 10-20cms fell today]
