Hotham Snow Reoprt 08/09/2014

All of that signifies the approaching weather of tomorrow, but we should have a mostly sunny day and great skiing again today.

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…
