I’d guess as soon as they are sure.

Waiting for a guru on another site to announce, they seem to have a finger on the pulse smile

Our lodge managers went up today from H’Ville side, said it was the scariest trip they have ever done up the mountain.
From Blowhard up was white out and the wind was sliding the car around.
They got in behind the snowplough and it had snow flying over the top of it big surprise
