In fact I got so many emails I thought I should share a few, along with my replies. We've all seen the TV pics and I am sure a few of you have checked out the OZ snow cams. Without doubt there is nothing quite like a big dump of fluffy white to get the heart racing and the pulse pumping. So this issue is to rejoice in the big dump across the Tasman. Here's an update after our recent flurry of wild weather over the last 24 hours.
Several fronts dumping heaps of rain in the valley and some nice snow falls on the hills.
Even better news is snow forecast down to 300m with some heavy falls above 600m for Friday and Saturday. Treble Cone 55cm at base in the last 24 hours and over a metre in the Saddle Basin. Cone snow area looking like opening 22 June. Coronet Peak 5 cm around the base buildings with 20 - 30 cm at the top. Looking like an opening this weekend sometime, possibly 5 June.
