I’ve been reading possibly even more! (though whatever base we currently have is going to cop a pounding from the rain)

Definitely agree early/mid next week looks like the pick at this stage.

I thought that the worst of the rain has passed already, and only showers before the Snow?????

I don’t think that the snowpack could even get much worse than it already is anyways????? Hahahaaa!!!!!

I haven’t checked today but I’d read rain heavy at times up until Friday when hopefully it changes to wettish snow.

Yeah you’re not wrong it was actually alright fun early last week but as the week got on it was getting pretty bare (in non man made areas) I wouldn’t like to see it now.

My brand new board is pretty much reduced to a rock hopper now the base and edges were destroyed over the week.

From what the BOM are sayin, it’s only Isolated Showers and Areas of Rain late, so hopefully it doesn’t impact that much?????

Yeah, from lookin at the cams at Thredders, you can see massive patches of dirt at high levels!!!!! Not a great start to this season and hopefully not the pattern for the rest of it either?????

* Although it wont impact me, as it’s lookin as though this will be my first season down under where I don’t go for a shred!!!!!

And the weather boffins are commenting on how wrong BOM have it!

This morning was a significant downgrade… and increases liquid snow.

Ah the roller coaster of the aussie alps!

We just have to watch and wait!!

Yeah I’m going by what the weather nerds over at the other forum are saying (I have to admit they do seem to know what they are talking about)

I still enjoy riding in oz (though as you well know it’s got nothing on Japow) but gees the snow dances/weather watching the whole season get tiring!

I could never go 12 mths between slides!

And OS is not always an option every year (though you wouldn’t know it looking at my track record haha!)

So I will always be loyal to Aus. Even without my family situation!
