This neat is neat I reckon. Someone making the effort to get their kids out there
. And is that stocks in hand ?
18mm according to the BOM station…stake a little less. I reckon there has been some very localised snowfalls as Thredbo showing half of what PV has received.
Report to follow….. road was worse today than any day in season. Sheet ice, howling winds from about 1500 ASL.
Ah right .
So it's just the tele lens that makes that North Perisher lodge on the extreme left of shot look like it's right next to the lift lineReport to follow….. road was worse today than any day in season. Sheet ice, howling winds from about 1500 ASL.
Looks & sounds downright miserable!
Well glad we made the effort to come.
It's blowing its ring out though, unbearable above mid station.
So I dropped a short video of the winds at the top of the quad in the obs thread for this event. Could barely stand and the wind was tearing the snow from spots you’d normally expect it to settle. Simply wild up top.
Brief report:
Road was super slick first up per earlier post with the road closed beyond the resort for road clearing (it reopened later on). So inbounds it was - summer wax off and skins on. Met up with @Goanna for the hike.
Managed to source enough snow to skin up to the top of the quad. Some pics roughly in order to mid:
Nearing the top. Poor vis and howling winds.
Up top. Easy to see how where the snow had been ripped away.
Getting back was a mix of boot packing and skiing. Just enough cover in spots but where there was, the snow was in good nick. But those winds had really ripped snow out from many places you’d normally expect to see it.
Back to base and had a brief chat to a nice couple who were headed out. Now realise from a post above that it was @bullet and ski partner. Nice to meet you folks.

Being from Shellharbour unfortunately we missed the entire season so just had to get a few turns in.
Also unfortunately in my haste ti leave yesterday arvo I forgot to pack the splitboard skins in, so boot packing it was.
Anywhere to hire a skin in jindy?
Try Bruce at a wilderness sports in town - Nuggets Crossing. Carpark opposite Kosciusko First National real estate. Tell him that Steve steered you there. He definitely has all sorts of kit there. Otherwise ESS board store.
Got some, cheers.
Drove up to turnings circle when done to see conditions, oh boy, it was nasty
I'm glad we did a few laps of smiggins first up, here's a pic on our way home, it's melting fast but had a good 15cm this am. Looks unskiable there now
Also here a pic of the Ridge from link Rd about 2pm.
And yep your tip of goats gully was some good fun turns in there this morning, thanks.
Going to try for the main range tomorrow conditions permitting.
Would that not be normal for Tbo, half of Perisher? lol18mm according to the BOM station…stake a little less. I reckon there has been some very localised snowfalls as Thredbo showing half of what PV has received.
That's right, because you have to average what the top gets and what the bottom gets.
First time I've looked at the Snow Stake in awhile. Looks like a dusting overnight to be followed by a bluebird day
Not sure about a tele lens. I took that pic on my iphone. You mean right next to the Interceptor lift line? That's perspective for yaAh right .
So it's just the tele lens that makes that North Perisher lodge on the extreme left of shot look like it's right next to the lift line
Minus 3…. Still a bit about the hill! Sky is insane blue today ..,,
They have a problem, closed early the last 2 years, didn't get the fall Perisher gets. It will be back for our Mountain Collective pass, just need 2 days there.
Thanks for the kind offer. By the time I seen your post I had already sorted some.
I really appreciate it.
Cheers.
Super day to scratch out a few final turns for 2021 before summer waxing. With @Goanna and @SalleeGirl
Looks like I have to wait for next season for some turns but park city might be the go in February
I think there's a bunch of us so deprived this year we'll be down there for the first carpet next June.
Today last year.

Meantime……that chair, believed to be (off the original (pre quad) triple is almost done. Have been tracking progress (in my latest home project thread) but it’s likely a little bit of Perisher history so here it is. Slats go on tomorrow. I built it so that it spins 360 degrees……

I like the idea of it spinning 360 degrees, on its vertical axis that is.
Not even the Mt Perisher double can do that in high wind.
Can somebody push you around in a circle? If so, it sounds like a mini version of a Merry-Go-Round.
Or, if they hit you with a bat, then it's a big version of Totem Tennis
I have watched them go very very close.
Don't put a gate scanner on it or you'll never get Normo off your lawn.
Not much to see today. Wet, foggy and remaining snow disappearing as you’d expect a few days out from Summer. Putting on the green Summer coat with all the creeks flowing. Plenty of parking though….
Already 280 mm in the gauge this month, with a mean of 170 mm so 65% above average. Best for 10 years since 321 mm in 2011. Not too many decent days for outdoor activities though. 7 rainless days and 19 wet. It will be 20 at the 9 am rain reset tomorrow.Last edited:

As of 9 am 317 mm so only 4 mm to go to beat 2011. The AWS began in 2010 so the PV Ski Centre has data from 1976 until 2010. None of those years more than 1994 at 292 mm. So we are looking at a probable 45 year record. Need to check other nearby sites later.
Topped out at 7.3 metres and steady.We have beaten 2011 at the High Perch.
The creek is running at 6.8m and still rising.
Wanted to go to town this arvo ..... yeah na ,cant even get to the road.
Is that water overflow from the Murray River channel?Wanted to go to town this arvo ..... yeah na ,cant even get to the road.
