Hotham Snow Report, 15 August 2014
Sorry for the monotony, but it looks like there is just another perfect day on the way. Clear sky, light wind and good quality snow. Each day this week the temperature has gradually got a little warmer, so we are seeing more aspects move into a melt freeze cycle, but there is still chalky dry packed…

Another absolute ripper of a day on the way by the look of it. Clear sky, light wind and dry packed snow across most of the resort. Enjoy. Cheers Bill.

There is a light fog and a 24 km south-easterly this morning. I expect the sky is clear above, and the fog has just risen from the coast side of the ranges, and will burn off as the day warms. The snow has been great out there the last few days with good quality dry…

Its cold and clear with a light north north easterly blowing, and the snow guns are pumping it out. Most runs have grippy dry and good carvable snow on them, and will probably be at their best first thing this morning before they get scraped back to the firm base underneath. Enjoy. Cheers Bill.

A little high cloud and a light north-westerly this morning. Yesterday the snow turned pretty sticky as it went through the transition from dry to wet as the cloud came over and warmed things up. We have had a decent freeze overnight so the snow should now be more spring like and faster. The groomed…

The strong westerly wind from yesterday has backed right off and it is really calm out there. There is a light fog in the village at the moment but it looks like it could burn off to leave us with another great day. The snow is still dry in most areas, with just a few…

Clear sky again this morning but the wind has picked up from the northwest and the temp is a mild 1 degree. The humidity has stayed very low for the last few days, so the snow is still chalky dry in most areas of the resort. Slap on the screen and get out there and…
