Hotham Snow Report, 31 August 2014
Sunny again today but the wind has picked up from the northwest signalling a change on the way. Yesterday saw the closing of Davenport Access Track due to lack of snow, and the Blue Ribbon runs above it were also closed. A bit sad, but that whole area of the hill has given us great…

You guessed it. Just another perfect spring like day with a clear sky, light winds and softening snow. Even though we have had an extended run of warm sunny days the snowbase is hanging in really well. It is definitely not the perfect cover of a few weeks ago but considering there has not been…

Ditto! Clear sky, light wind and another decent freeze overnight. Solid groomers first thing and then follow the sun for great spring like snow conditions. Slap on the screen and enjoy what we have while we have it. Rumours are starting to build of some snow coming soon. Stay tuned. Cheers Bill.

Although the temperature only just touched zero overnight, we have had a solid freeze, probably due to the low humidity and likely inversion. It will be hard and fast early and then soften pretty quickly throughout the…

A bit of muck around this morning. There is a 40 km easterly wind which has brought in some fog and light drizzle from the coast side of the ranges. It is probably clear in Harrietville, and the forecast is for the wind to ease and the sky to clear during the day so we…

After a bit of dampness yesterday afternoon, the sky has now cleared and there is a very light north-westerly blowing. It looks like we are back into a good spell of spring like conditions with a decent freeze overnight and softening snow throughout the morning. Considering we have not had a proper storm for a…

Another ripper of a spring like day on the way. The sky is mostly clear, there is hardly any wind and we have had another decent freeze overnight. It will be firm out there first thing and then soften throughout the morning. Sadly, Blue Ribbon closed a few days ago but most other areas are…

Another awesome looking spring like day on the way. A clear sky with a light northwesterly and we had another decent freeze overnight. Things will be firm first thing and should soften nicely as the day progresses. Enjoy. Cheers Bill
