Saturday, 4 July 2009 at 15:36
Weather Top
-2°C. It was a chilly one on the hill this morning with the wind cutting through while the cloud hung around. The sun did peek through in the afternoon which warmed things up a little. Winds gusted from moderate to strong. Today's top temperature between 9am and 2pm was -2°C.
Weather Village
+4°C. Winds stayed light in the village today and the cloud broke up after lunch. This allowed the sun to poke through and warmed things up considerably, turning it into a pleasant Saturday afternoon. Today's top temperature between 9am and 2pm was +4°C.
Snow Conditions
After low overnight temps and strong winds up top the new snow from yesterday had packed and settled but was still dry and grippy and perfect for getting an edge into. Snowmakers worked all night to freshen up the high traffic areas especially over the mid-mountain so the cover was extensive. The lower slopes did soften during the day.

Snow Riding
Skiers and boarders were happy as Larry on the slopes today with all open runs in great shape. Advanced riders headed high to ride Antons for the first time this season, but it was World Cup and the Supertrail that really stole the show. Intermediates kicked back at the Cruiser and bit the bullet on a very nice High Noon, while beginners once again were cool as cucumbers on Friday Flat.
Skiers
The Cruiser beginner terrain park was open today and is expected to open again tomorrow. It featured a 6m flat box, 6m dance floor box, rollers and a beginner jump. The High Noon terrain park has undergone a rebuild and now features a 9m down box, a 30 ft table top, a 3m pole jam, a 6m flat box and a 6m tube rail .
Groomed Runs
We expect to groom all open runs overnight.

Tip of the Day
The weather has settled and the slopes are all snowy, it packed down a bit cause the day was quite blowy. With school holidays here the crowds will start growing, the sun should stay out so they can see where they're going.
