	Ramshead 26/7/18 - 3:13pm Ozgirl: Ramshead - my parents were member of the ski club right up until the closed it. (over 40 years) Rumour has it they open it for Snowy hydro staff only on a Wednesday night and they bring in lifties from selwyn to run it. It was really bizzare... apparently that pristine snow magically had ski tracks in by the time we left... never saw anyone else there. ;) There is two runs off to the left - one in the tress which was the 'black' run. But you are right the main run is steeper than anything you can ski at Selwyn! the black one is steeper again! This is me back in the day on the same run pictured with my dad. Dad is adamant that this pic is from august, early 80's. Triple like!

	Ramshead 26/7/18 - 2:31pm Love love love your pics too . Not enough people sharing pics from that end of the world. Great to see the Powerline poma pic. Always thought they shoulda made the triple chair longer and had the station for uploading both ways, much like Keoghs/Orchard works at Hotham. That would allow you to ski Kangaroo Ridge and Long Arm even in those sadly all-too-frequent times when Powerline can't run because its sun-facing slope has melted. Also love the Cabra pic. I went walkies around the Cabra ski runs last summer on the way back from a 3 day hike out to Jagungal. The run to the left of your pic is the main run and it looked to have about 80-100 vertical m of dark blueish pretty steep fun. Any signs it had been skied this year by locals? They're really weird about it in Cabra, I've found. No one will tell you when it's open or how you can apply for a guest pass - probably because you can't. Anyway great pics again.
	Ramshead 26/7/18 - 2:22pm I skied across 3 mile dam once back in one of those huge seasons early in the 1990s because I am the WORLD'S STUPIDEST PERSON. To this day I don't know WTF I was thinking. Not much is probably the answer. Anyway it happened. Nice pics thx for sharing
	Ubiquitous Steve 24/7/18 - 3:56pm Nice pics..looks like good season for K to K skiers!:thumbs:
	malas1 24/7/18 - 12:34pm Good cover round a half frozen 3mile dam, had some fun on xc skis
	Ozgirl 24/7/18 - 11:43am Okay sorry for the delay. But we made it up to Selwyn on Sunday - quite a bit of snow on the side of the road. Been a long time since i have seen that much snow on the side of the drive over there. Its was very quiet perfect for taking the bump for a slide! rarely a wait for a lift (the poma was the worst) and rode the triple with an extra person twice. but went straight on. We also went for a drive by Cabra. Lots of snow there - such a shame! Huge sign when driving into town telling us skiing and tobogganing is banned. (should have taken the snowboard!) Bottom photo is the top of the beginners run. Here i am 26 weeks
	Sean Sunley 21/7/18 - 5:47pm First trip today to Selwyn this year and the resort is looking good with a great snow coverage.
	Ozgirl 21/7/18 - 8:46am Thanks! I'm stupidly excited about tomorrow!
	Brill 20/7/18 - 9:11pm Great day taking the kids for their first day on the snow. Lots of flakes falling all day. A few cars didn't cope too well in this morning's snow which was consistently falling from about 1000 metres. Whilst kids were in ski school had lots of fun between the trees.
	chicski 19/7/18 - 3:47pm BTW just drove across, road all clear and passed a couple of ploughs perhaps getting ready for tomorrow. Lots of snow players parked on the side of the road.
	chicski 19/7/18 - 5:31am Brill: Thanks. First time coming over from Tumut across so appreciate the info. Assume the plough will be out Friday morning. Drive safe all! I travel it quite regularly and seem to always time it for snow. Never had a problem in AWD just slower drive than when it’s clear. I’m either headed across this evening or tomorrow, so snowy again!
	Ozgirl 18/7/18 - 10:08pm We are heading to Selwyn on Sunday to ski within my bump!
	Brill 18/7/18 - 9:55pm chicski: Last week. Thanks. First time coming over from Tumut across so appreciate the info. Assume the plough will be out Friday morning. Drive safe all!
	chicski 18/7/18 - 9:32pm Brill: Anyone know what elevation the Snowy mountains highway from Tumut over to Cooma gets to? Some low level snow forecast for Friday morning. Last week.
	BrindiCruiser 18/7/18 - 8:24pm I reckon it is a super skiing option for young families and learning.
	IAB 18/7/18 - 6:44pm Belly: So the boy will be 3 early next year and my partner is also showing some interest in the snow. Selwyn would have to be first choice for some intro lessons surely? I've never been. And always happy to save a $ or two ;) It's good fun when there's complete cover and all lifts are spinning. New Chum Bowl is great for beginners, we went there with our kids for their first time on snow. These days they beat me down the hills at Perisher (which isn't that hard to do).
	BrindiCruiser 18/7/18 - 6:27pm nfip: No . And your mud or AT tyres are not same as snow tyres so beware on the white stuff , more so on the in between stuff. Definitely seen 4wd struggle when on snow if tyres on that car do not grip well.
	BrindiCruiser 18/7/18 - 6:26pm Brill: Thanks, I note live traffic often says chains required for heavy vehicles. How is it for 4wd vehicles after snow? Do they often enforce chains? I will say that after four seasons at Selwyn, I regularly drove on snowy roads. I have a 4wd and exempt from chains. 2wd def needs chains quite often on low snow level days.
