Snow Alert - Mt Buller - Australia

                  

Mt Buller Australia
12 lifts turning! This weekend is looking promising to have even more open.

With snow falls predicted to increase today and continue until Saturday, its going to be one fantastic weekend end up here on top of the world!

Weather Conditions
A top of only -2 today is keeping things nice and cold and we expect snow falls today. A north to northwesterly wind is blowing, it could reach gale force this afternoon, bringing in blizzard conditions.

Snowmaking was extensive overnight to top up the fresh stuff and make the most of a very very cold night, getting right down to -5.1. They made on Bourke St, Baldy, Koflers, Little Buller Spur, Shakey Knees, Emirates, Howqua and the Summit.

Cardrona - New Zealand
Cardrona Alpine Resort has had 60 cm of natural snow over the last 3 days with 20cm overnight (5 July 2008).

High wind mean parts of the mountain will be windswept but on-trail and gully skiing will be superb over the next few days.

A polar blast is sweeping over New Zealand with snow falling in Queenstown and Wanaka today. The forecast is looking better for next week - the start of the NZ school holidays
