gozaimaas 61 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 just got chased away by pouring rain. terrible season. Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Dumping snow at falls and hotham. Seems like there is always rain before snow this season. Link to post Share on other sites
surfarthur 22 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 better rain turning to snow than the other way around Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Perisher posted on facebook that it was snowing heavily this morning when in fact it was pissing down rain. They got hammered with comments and eventually conceded that it was in fact raining. I wonder how many people drove up in the rain believing it would turn to snow only to be let down when they arrived. I saw a bus at smiggins and the national parks pass stuck on the windscreen for 1 day was over $1000! I did my fave run from top station to guthega yesterday and it was absolutely awful. To call it ice is being polite, in actual fact it was rime coated shrubbery, anything that isnt lee side is beyond awful. check out where the kangaroos licked my sleeper cab at night. it sounds freaky on the inside when you are trying to sleep!

Dunga 1 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Haha! That's awesome re the kangaroos! What were they trying to lick? Ie what causes a kangaroo to lick anything? Link to post Share on other sites
gozaimaas 61 Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 pretty sure there its salt sprayed all over the back from driving on wet salted roads. Must be like pistachios for kangaroos lol, they love it. Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted August 17, 2013 Share Posted August 17, 2013 Pretty sure the marketing peeps have pumped up the tires of this storm, piss all snow actually hitting the ground. Link to post Share on other sites

SmokingMonkey 0 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Well, I'm kind of glad that I had to miss out on this Aussie season. It doesn't sound like I missed out on much at all. Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 It's been snowing non stop for the past week and a bit, nearly up to 150cm base at some resorts. It's been ok the last week but still nothing on last season. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Yeah finally a bit of real winter weather over the last week. Better late than never I guess but unless this keeps up right through September it's going to end up a very short season. Link to post Share on other sites

Go Native 70 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Nice goz. Unfortunately looks like Spring is coming early as it has been a lot in recent years. Temps in SE Aus forecast in the upper teens to low twenties for the rest of this week. Lower slopes will be bare by the end of the week and what little base there is up high will be severely depleted. Unless there's a few cold outbreaks in September it's not looking great for the resorts. Link to post Share on other sites
HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 Looks like I've managed to time my visits PERFECTLY to avoid the awesome days and pick up all the shockers I'm back the weekend of the 13th, but meh... it's all about the weekend away with the girls and Efterski. Snow will be a bonus. Link to post Share on other sites
