Over the years I've been skiing, I have noted down the daily snow depth reports on the resort websites, usually on a daily basis and used this information to produce graphs so I can compare years etc. Since man made snow is important from a "skiability" point of view, that depth is important, especially when natural depth is marginal. Of the Victorian resorts, I believe the man made reports from Baw Baw and Buller are accurate and have been read regularly. However both Falls Creek and Hotham are being very lazy and reporting absolute rubbish. Both FC and Hoth. today are reporting 134 cm of man made, which is Tosh!!! Hotham at least gives the date when it was last measured ( which is about three weeks ago) .
So to Falls and Hotham I say LIFT YOUR GAME and report man made accurately every few days.
