Do any Charlotte Pass gurus know if any lodges will accept a non-member for a spring stay (next couple of weeks). Im hoping to take fam up there for some ski and walking adventures. I'm also scouting for possible lodge membership so I want to see what CP has to offer. Cheers

I wish, my son is down at Thredbo this weekend, looks good, hey, maybe
Our lodge is always full the last few weeks of the season because of the cross country contingent and then it shuts for the next week for cleaning so would require our lodge directors to authorise to take advantage of CPV staying open an extra week this year (facebook page)
Most years there is more snow on the hill when CPV closes for the season than during the season but this year the snow quality has stayed good due to the low temps and good falls

just spent a week at Charlotte's. Beautiful weather, little wind ,10/10 visibility, the snow that fell a week ago was funky so only north facing slopes were really good unless you found a magic powder patch.
Skied Northcote ,lake Albina and Clarke north side, down to Trapyard was good also.
The piste was like concrete until Saturday due to unseasonably low temps night and day.
A brave and talented woman was filmed dropping the Amphitheatre at Blue lake and using an axe and kicking steps to climb up twice more!!

I feel a bit silly, I took the video googles up the rocks above Guthries Sat and forgot I had them on
Even at the top Brian said wish I had bought my camera, my reply "yeah I didn't bring mine either" still didn't click
Wasn't till I got back in the lodge and taking them off I realised
The joys of getting older

Looks good today Sago just learnt the snowline cup is on today and the boys have just gone out to set up, bu**er means first tracks are gone but should full fill back in pretty quick
Only the T bar ran yesterday so the bowls etc will probably be untouched

Raining up here but not as heavy as predicted so cover is holding up well, occasionally the rain is stopping for a while
Waiting patiently for Wed - Fri coming snowfalls
A couple of the boys went to Stillwell Trig station yesterday (Monday) morning to watch the sun rise, they picked it well as the day including the morning was basically sunny
Snowline cup has been rescheduled

Tree Breaker Bob:
You're not the only one.
I'm prepared to concede CP was caught up in a larger state-wide crown lease governance review due to the previous administration's mining lease scandal.
But we need to be careful what we wish for, the state government also wants to put the resort leases on a 'long term sustainable' funding model. Does that mean CP lodges pay higher bed taxes to cover the full cost of running the poo farm?
Or is it related to NPWS deriving >80% of total state-wide funding from the southern snowfields. It would be nice to see the transparent figures but I guess that is commercial in confidence. This really should go to the lease thread.
And on top of all that is the increased cost of electricity.
