Observations 3rd -9th August

[bullet]

I've never seen such large crowds at interceptor or north P like today.
We got a few laps of freshies there before the hordes arrived, then moved to ridge for 1 lap before they arrived there, then over to guthega to ski out the arvo in boot deep goodness and straight on every lift.

Go the Holes!

I'm currently sitting in the pub

 

[Gamera MC]

I observe I should go skiing tomorrow and return home with divorce papers in hand.

Bank Holiday and ACT PH
plus epic pass

[Marquise de Kappy]

Wind looks absolutely brutal at the top of Perisher. Guthega Live cam is shaking around really violently.

Where you seeing Live cam? I thought it was on the perisher live cams page but when I looked, it is a still?

Edit: found it in the list.

 

[Blitzen]

Falls

I question the logic of leaving rubber hanging in the air like that

To find your vehicle maybe?

[Kletterer]

Currently on Mt. TAYLOR Act. Sunny at the bottom but incoming over Brindies.

 

[RadDad]

I observe far too much snow has fallen over the past 24 hours............ for me to be stuck at work!

Old school ACT weather

 

[Ultra]

rapid temp drop in Syd, very snowy looking clouds on the ranges to the west.

 

[skimax]

[JayDee78]

Best fall line gradient carving run at Perisher that.

Indeed. I observe it's the perfect run to get going in the morning.

 

[Edgecrusher]

More fresh on the Cedarwood cam. The top of the bottle they had there has now disappeared.

 

[Kletterer]

Waiting for flakes. Damn cold up here.

 

[POW Hungry]

Waiting for flakes. Damn cold up here.

How dare those elusive low-level ACT flakes make the big K dog wait!

 

[Mctavish]

It snowed all day @ Perisher - managed to avoid crowds - wishing I had fat skis on Mt P as drifts were rediculous. Visibility good amongst trees - crap elsewhere, even on Font Valley. Great accumulation almost to bottom of ski tube @ Bullocks Flat - snow level about 1200 metres IMO for this event.

 

[IAB]

^says the man making the most of his new lifestyle .

My time is definitely a lot more flexible these days

 

[IAB]

why on earth would you go there unless taking advantage of the perisher staff lunch meal...

I was skiing with my daughters. Apparently taking a pee after every run is a part of the rules.

 

[Ramshead]

I'm thinking I've seen that photo on the Snowbird website last December?

I'm thinking I just called the bloke who took the pic and verified that it is indeed today's shot at Falls Creek. Full story here http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/20...d-of-oz-re_a_23067892/?utm_hp_ref=au-homepage

 

[Kelpieboy]

Raining again at my high perch near Tumba , maybe just a little more on the way for the hills , certainly cold enough.

Bank Holiday and ACT PH

its a shame ... but

? No ACT public holiday today. Wondered about NSW though. Suspect absenteeism rates for today might be a little above average ...

 

[IAB]

I'll bet Guthega has been terrible today as well.

Awful!

 

[JayDee78]

Some more Bullocks from this afternoon.

 

[bullet]

Just walked back to lodge at smigs, clear skies above. The clouds look to be retreating to the MR atm.

 

[Donza]

My buddies place just out of Jindy this morning . She is on a hill facing the NW. (pic obviously in opposing direction) Lets just say its amazing there are trees on that hill.

 

[Majikthise]

I observe I should go skiing tomorrow and return home with divorce papers in hand.

Won"t make a difference...you know she would kill you if she found out you went skiing in this without her.

 

[Karicta]

what a magnificent storm she was...

 

[Snow Dog]

Snowing again at Buller. That band seems to be coming through from the SW.

 

[Edgecrusher]

what a magnificent storm she was...

Snowed all day today I'm informed

 

[Roarkie]

Still going at Perisher.

 

[Rick Ross Da Boss]

[Deanski]

So its all over eh??? Well I'm calling fizzer.

 

[Tanuki]

So its all over eh??? Well I'm calling fizzer.

Yeah, typical of Huey to snow all day and stop just after the last lift Should be good tomorrow over the other side of Hotham in the areas that didn't open today.

 

[Karicta]

Was?

I don't expect those final squalls to make it as far as FC (not enough to add anything meaningful anyway)

 

[Kletterer]

How dare those elusive low-level ACT flakes make the big K dog wait!

Well i waited and was rewarded with wet ice pellets and a lovely view and pleasant walk down in the dark

 

[Rick Ross Da Boss]

Well wasn't that the biggest fizzer of recent years

 

[dawooduck]

 

[Roarkie]

Coming down hard again on the Front Valley cam at Perisher. The Storm that just keeps giving!
