UPDATE: 6pm Thursday
A great pic of LBS from Scotty Talbut of TBR:
UPDATE: 4:30pm Thursday Jane’s Weather has updated, better late than never. Light snow showers to continue through Saturday, possibility of clear weather on Sunday, weather again early next week but she is similarly confused by what it will be.
UPDATE: 2pm Thursday Nice flakes falling on the Buller Village Square Cam
Lunch update received from glisse:
All of Wombat Run is now open. A few shrubs on skiers right but still fair skiing. Summit is skiers left only both sides of snow fence. Grooming worked well and cover is good. Snowing lightly off and on. Spaghetti at Koflers was even better than yesterday.
Once again I am excited about Koflers.
UPDATE: 11:30am Thursday Rumour is that Howqua Chair will open in the next day or so. Not sure whether for Family Run or Howqua Extension but will update when I find out.
UPDATE: 9:00am Thursday
A photo of Little Buller Spur from this morning courtesy of ‘glisse’:
Well the million dollar question today is how well Summit is skiing.
My phone call to the mountain which I reported yesterday afternoon suggested that LBS was skiing as well as it does mid-winter (which the photo surely attests to), and that Lower Wombat and Shakey were in good shape.
Summit was reportedly thin and they were waiting until they got a cat out on it before they decided if it could be opened.
However the Snow Report has Summit listed as an open lift, so I’m assuming it’s a goer. I will see if I can get a mid-morning SMS from someone to tell me how it is. Snowmaking was running all night again.
In terms of the weather, it’s a bit of a mess. I can’t really make much of it. There’s stuff all on the radar, BOM is inconclusive and the Weather Nerds are confused and looking forward to the next system.
If I had to guess I would say it will be a cold, foggy day with fine snow falling for much of it but not really adding up to much. Pretty much the same for Friday & Saturday with the chance of seeing the sun on Sunday before another weather system moves in on Monday.
Jane’s Weather hasn’t updated yet, have a look at that after about 10am.
So I’ll keep updating this post through today and tomorrow, and start another one on the weekend when I get up on the hill and give my own snow report and some photos too.
