More rain…

Forecast is for more rain in Victoria this weekend and I assume the snow is melting with the warmer weather.
How’s the snow condition at Vic. mountains for anyone who has been up in the last few days? (Mountain sites just always say good snow cover or none imo)

 

From the rail jam last night all the uni boarders i was talking to all said a few things in common.
“arent you too young to be here?” and “buller took a thrashing” some said there was grass appearing on bourke street so im guessing thats no good….

Slushy..Buller is extremely slushy..
Heading up to Buller again next weekend.. hope it’s still semi-decent.
Going to Hotham the week after that.. I’m praying for at least 50cm of snow base…

Doubt it would still be “dry” after the rain raspberry
goddammit im cheesy….

 

More rain today, still warm as well. oh well hopefully the snow stays around for a bit.

 

Looks like buller lost some. theres still 17 lifts running but baw baw has not enough snow to board on and has no lifts running.
sad really because this weekend is gonna be even worse

 

Never know; but the forecast does say so. Doesn’t surprise me that baw baw doesn’t have much but buller has lost a fair bit in the last week (~35cm). I believe there is meant to be ~5cm on Friday night

 

the 5 cm will come after a fair heavy rain damage so its not about how much snow falls its more about how much will get washed away, hopefully as little as posisble

 

5 cm back on top is better than jsut washed away snow though, were you going up this weekend or next?

 

Hey the forecasts have brightened up a little bit.
more snow, less rain.
I was going up this weekend but the weather’s shite.
