Winter's Back!
Alrighty, this is more like it! As forecast the snow started falling late last night and intensified into the early hours of the morning.
At 9am it's snowing and blowing and we've received a further 23cm of fresh snow overnight bringing the storm total to 30cm so far. The current temp is -3.3 degrees and we're headed for top of -1 degrees. I suspect the weather station has blown up but right now we have a moderate to strong wind out of the NW.
The snow that's fallen is very dense which is perfect to help form a base and as I type the snow guns have also just fired up. We're moving in the right direction, and thanks to the hard work of our Mountain Ops and Patrol Teams, skiing and boarding is back at Hotham with Summit Trainer now open!
Watch this space. Cheers, Burner.

Our groomers are anxiously waiting for there to be enough snow depth and the right conditions for grooming to commence. Keep up the snow dances and fingers XC for more of the white stuff. Cheers Bev.
