Bloody hell it’s minus 8 there at the moment and appears as if the snow guns are firing on front valley and Mt P, this looks damn nice up the top of Olympic as well.

Will probably be heading down from Sydney about 3pm Friday arvo!

That lit up ridge is intercepter isn’t it??? Not the right line for Pretty Valley.

Could the possibly but pushing for that to be open big surprise

Hard to tell, I can only guess that the Olympic cam is at the top of the Olympic Tbar or it would have other poles in the picture.  I’m thinking it isn’t Interceptor though cause thats pretty deep in the valley from memory and you wouldn’t be able to see it?  Maybe Pleasant Valley but doesn’t make much sense to open that one, how do you get over there?

Ahhhh….

Maybe Copperhead Road?? If the Cam is at the top of Olympic.

I thought that cam was pointing towards Sun Valley. i.e. Olympic is the Ridge between where the Cam is and where those lights are.

(You can see I have a lot of work to do to pass my orientation exam!!)

I am going to post this on an experts facebook wall and see what he thinks it is. :D it may prompt him to tell me what he thinks will be open for the weekend!

Well if you think the cam is on Mt P Looking at Olympic I would say the lights are just on the perisher quad express.

Yep, one of the best runs in Perisher!

Pretty Valley is always a late opener / early closer due to the lower elevation and flatter run. At best you could get Mt P, Happy Valley, Goats Gulley and Front Valley open and maybe a few in Blue Moo.

Just announced 6 lifts and 4 carpets running as of Saturday. Two terrain parks Front Valley and Yabby Flats.

Guessing

V8
Quad
Mitchell Tbar
Happy Valley
Mt P

6th lift not so sure about…. Something at Blue but wont be Ridge! Maybe Sunday?

Maybe Leichart Tbar?

Or 2 chairs at Mt P?

Knowing perisher it will be the Tbar for the front valley park / tbar for the pipe (whichever one isn’t Mitchell).
