Perfect day ahead @_hotham . Currently balmy -2, no wind & no chain fitting required. For those first time snow visitors - Lift finally open at @VisitDP Or plan a snowshoe picnic on the High Plains/ for the regulars - slopes in great condition so seize the day @hoys_skis
Today’s second Aussie snow pic is this dramatic shot of an avalanche above Leather Barrel Creek, west of Thredbo and overlooking Victoria. FYI, I source many of my pics from @skicomau threads like this one (usually with permission!) https://t.co/mVowvLTWgG
BREAKING NEWS! We have just made an incredible discovery at the Digervarden ice patch, Norway. We have found the best-preserved prehistoric pair of skis in the world! 1300 years old and both have the bindings preserved. The second of the two skis has just come out of the ice❤️
How the Victorian ski industry has been thrown under the bus with the new #COVID19 testing requirements - an insightful thread by one of the shakers and movers in the Victorian ski industry. Well worth a read -CW #MtBuller#FallsCreek#Hotham#AuSnow
@bridgerollo@sumeyyailanbey@s_deery@Raf_Epstein@rachelbaxendale If you'll indulge me, the ski industry / community has been blindsided by today's announcement and some furious online discussion has raised some salient points so I think I might start a thread:
Ok change of pace. Few nice shots from the hill at Thredbo today showing the light but perfectly skiable early season cover. Many more here on this @skicomau thread https://t.co/oIIBOY5R5o
Early bird gets the worm. The 430am start is always worth it - and today for a blissful 30 minutes of skiing before the lift lines were completely mad. #akihappy#skiearly
Three stills from Thredbo media's drone footage today, and one very forlorn pic of a Victorian ski resort which received only rain in this storm from warm air that was dragged south while cooler air drifted north.
Weather is weird and interesting.
They have a bit of a break in the calendar at @RacingOrange2 each winter, and this is why.
Next horse races Sept 21. Sled races only today! @weatherzone story on the Central West and Blue Mts snowfalls here https://t.co/UldaoH6emH
