HelperElfMissy 42 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 All over red rover in Aus - although looks like a decent snowfall on the way! LOL Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 I heard that the only southern resorts open are in NZ Link to post Share on other sites
jared 0 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Opposite - the north island resorts get a much thicker ice cap? snow pack? than the southern fields and it takes a long time to melt. They also have all the local skiers where southern fields are more tourist driven. so the north island resorts are open till mid novemeber this year and almost all south island ones are closed now bar mt hutt and broken river (i think) still lots of snow about for touring and more on the way this weekend it looks like.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 it could've been construed that way Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted October 16, 2010 Share Posted October 16, 2010 And it did indeed snow ... this is today. Good luck to anyone willing to hike for it - they deserve a bit of fun Link to post Share on other sites
blu 3 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Looks like a white Aussie Xmas (almost) - it's snowing: http://www.perisherblue.com.au/winter/snowreport/bluecow.php Link to post Share on other sites
smostyn 1 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 That is amazing. Middle of summer and its snowing. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 Pouring down rain in Perth at the moment, but far too hot to be anything other than rain. Bit of snow in the lead up to school holidays should see some people within a few hours drive of the mountains head up and have some fun with it - snowball fights, posed Christmas Photo's and the like. I would - if I could drive there in a few hours. Link to post Share on other sites

And it's not even the solstice yet so hardly what you would consider the 'middle of summer'. In many countries they don't even consider the summer has started until after the solstice.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Lots of people locally went and played. It was just enough for some fun, but not enough for skiing or boarding (at least not that has been reported). Some cute footage of little Falls Creek local kids with their Santa hats on making snowmen. Link to post Share on other sites
Jynxx 4 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Having seen what MikePow and his mates slide on, I have a open mind to what may be enough to have a go. Actually this is big news for me. Never thought there is probability of white X´mas in Australia! Very cool. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Snow on the higher parts of the mountains in Aus is not that unusual in December at all. In Tasmania it can snow in any month of the year up on the higher parts (which are not really that high) Link to post Share on other sites
