After an epic week in NZ in the Club FIelds and a Chopper it’s time to cast my eye on matters more local.

I’m not sure if it’s much of a coincidence that the neglect of my beloved Mt Buller on this blog coincided with a period of pretty ordinary conditions, and I’d love to claim the recent snowfalls as being to do with my return.

A decent snowfall occurred over last weekend, and I type these words to the reassuring sound of raindrops on my tin roof (fortunately accompanied by a 9.4c temperature) and an eye on the radar showing the precipitation heading towards the alpine regions.

Jane’s Weather is confident that this should deliver approx 10cm, and Weatherzone concurs.

So by the weekend the place should be looking pretty white, and the main question on everyone’s lips are whether we will see any new terrain open. The Buller website has teased us with Southside being shown as on ‘Standby’ and there are whispers abounding about Grimus and even Bull Run. Thursday is snow report/media day so I’d expect to see some form of official confirmation tomorrow.

That’s all from now, I’ll keep my ear to the ground and update this post as I hear more about what to expect for the weekend.
