I put a couple of reports in the obs thread so a few pics may be doubled up.
By and large 10-15 cms of the wettest snow I’ve skied (well kinda skied) since May. Started at base of Quad, then skinned up towards top station. The weather looked promising at this point and I figured I’d get up top somewhere however it closed in again so I bailed at that group of trees just down from top station.
The last push down front valley was…. well let’s say difficult
.
Will be better with a freeze. Pics roughly in order.
At this stage I figured it was push on up top before it closed in again.
Stop at mid.
Then the “push back to base”.
No nice easy turns today but still fun and yep, lucky old bloke to be out there…..
Wet snow falling in car park just after this was taken.
Perisher says 5cms overnight. The wood on the table is usually 4 -5 cms thick, someones measurement stick is outtawack
There was a solid 10cm plus where ever I pottered about today.
5cm at Perisher resort per gauge , could have been correct. Are they really counting or caring at this stagePerisher says 5cms overnight. The wood on the table is usually 4 -5 cms thick, someones measurement stick is outtawack
Bloody hell, it was busier out there today than some days inbounds when the lifts were running.
Just needs a bit of fresh to cover the odd bare patch!
It was an introduction for one of our party so we had to stick close to the road.You had to look
Plenty of good skiing in close and that’s a good spot. It’s been busy everywhere. Far more so than I recall for several years……
I think you‘ve captured @DidSurfNowSki and I on the downhillBloody hell, it was busier out there today than some days inbounds when the lifts were running.
Indeed he didI think you‘ve captured @DidSurfNowSki and I on the downhill
I was there too - on the other side a bit further to the norf with SMSkier, Hillary and a few dozen others! Top morning for sure. Judging by the marks left by SMSkier, they stayed a bit longer than I.Indeed he did
Cold here and cold there…..turning white on the cams…..
EDIT: snowing at home as well.
Not enough. Requires a bit of a walk toward Main Range for a ski. Much easier around Charlottes.
Plenty falling!
High water content, but it’s building quickly.

Don’t let anyone track it out mate… I got skis and a car

Good to see you've already taken the phat skis off the car and are ready to head up the hill
Wish I was there @NormoPlenty falling!

I'm so torn. My mates all have epic, Thredbo betrayed me, it's a better price but there is still something about queueing for a really short 200-300m lift that rubs me the wrong way.
Guess I'll end up pulling the trigger and keep my fingers crossed that they have mountain collective at par this year, and I see it in time to get one.
Throwback to 2020 I think it was July 18th or 17th very good day nice sunny little bit of wind but very epic

You need to realize the Tele crowd will run spreadsheets on how to save weight on their gear; then cart around 20Kgs of camera gear. They're funny that way.
Save 15 g on bindings and put up with 5 kg boots.
Too true! We await the Golden, unicorn- lightweight tele boot? (Of power?)
One (tele) boot to rule all others! 
Someone has to think about the weight.
Since the IPhone, I’ve saved nearly a kg of camera gear.
I note recent Mobiles are ~ 1/4 weight of the early CDMA house bricks of mid-late 90s! It’s also great not needing to screw in an aerial to the phone, when in the bush - these days?
Looks flat.Throwback to 2020 I think it was July 18th or 17th very good day nice sunny little bit of wind but very epic
