Blizzard breaks records…Best since 2000

Posted on 6 Sep, 2017

Wow, wow, wow, wow…Blizzard of Oz 3…THANK YOU! From 2pm yesterday we’ve received another 50cm…taking the accumulative total of the storm so far to 130cm. Today was one for the books and I think it’s safe to say that every skier and snowboarder up here today agreed…

Do you know that the accumulative season base is now sitting at 233cm at the Spencers Creek site? That’s the deepest base since 2000!!! This snowfall has now taken our season total over the 4 metre mark, shaping it up to be one September to remember.

Day 3 delivered light, dry and deep conditions for all skiers and boarders to rip into and to top it all off the sun even decided to pop its head out to say hello every now and then throughout the day. Visibility and 50cm of fresh pow = SNOW STOKED.

The powder hungry beasts were all eagerly awaiting in the lift line this morning to get stuck into their breakfast…Once the clock struck 8:30am…it was powdermonium here in Thredbo. Pick of the day was High Noon, Antons and Bushranger…all delivering some of the best powder skiing and boarding we’ve had all season.

The best thing is that it ain’t over yet…there’s 20cm forecast to fall by the weekend and the higher parts of the mountain are still yet to open due to high winds over the past few days, so there will be no shortage of fresh snow to turn and burn. The temperatures will also stay well below zero, keeping the snow in primo condition for all powder hounds to enjoy.

See you up here for what will be an amazing next few days and weekend.
