Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

@hang11, I have kept touch with friends - it's rather ironic that you have been having better weather (if a touch cold) for model flying while heading into winter, then we have been having heading into summer.

@achilles, Yes not much in the way of winter yet. A few areas will be opening with limited terrain this weekend. It’s been cold but really dry all summer and that has continued over autumn and early winter.

Being optimistic the storm systems in the Southern Ocean have been firing up a lot more lately, but just not hitting the sweet spot for good snow yet. Early days though.

No it’s not !

It’s a usual start for super early in winter - this pic is right now just heading up to work and I would say it’s about 20cm last night in the craigieburn range with a solid forecast over the next 10 days.

Cardrona is looks pretty well covered. And the Queenstown areas are building up their coverage little by little so it will be ok by the time we really need it.

It's the equivalent of mid-December in the northern Hemisphere, so far too early even for our resident Dr Doom to be wetting the bed over lack of snow down south wink

Good luck to all down there for the season ahead. I keep an eye on conditions after such happy memories of mine and Mrs MA's 2019 NZ ski trip. Where did those 5 years go?! Shocked

Got up to a spot called bad decision hut for lunch. Highest whiskey bar in Nz. The local whiskey shop takes annual orders and flys them up there at start of winter. 2100m ASL.

I climbed to there last year from the valley in the second pic. Much nicer flying in Very Happy

Had a good day. Still a bit bony and early season but plenty of fun to be had.

It's not uncommon for central parts of AUS (Alice Springs) to be around 0 degrees C at night, only to reach 30oC by lunchtime.

You need about 4 sets of clothing for a 24hr cycle.
