Here's my first Oz update of the season. Sorry it's
short but everything has gone kind of crazy here with
the snowfalls!!!
Yup,
snowstorms hit the Australian Alps big time this weekend
with over 1m of snow reported at the top of Thredbo
and snow as low as Jindabyne, the gateway town
to Thredbo and Perisher which usually only
sees snow in August!
All
the major Oz resorts have confirmed they are opening
one week early on June 3, the first early opening
for 10 years.
Thredbo
is still gearing up for the big traditional opening
weekend on June 9. In the past few years the resort
has concentrated on promoting its 'non-skiing" activities
as the chance of actually getting some runs in was
fairly remote! This year the resort is hoping to be
fully open for what may turn out to be some of the
best skiing to be had all season. More snow forecast
for next few days......
