Antarctic Blitz Hits…Potential 40cm+

Posted on 10 May, 2018

The first major snowfall of the season hit today and more is in the forecast over the next three days….yeah baby! A  great base builder for the season ahead. Countdown is on…only 30 days till the lifts start spinning.

 

Experts are forecasting significant falls over the next few days with news outlets describing it as “double burst of Polar chill” and “Heavy snow will fall across the Alps from Thursday to Sunday — possibly over 50cm” – wooohoo!

Temperatures plummeted early today sending locals and visitors scurrying for warm winter gear, hovering around minus 1 and with winds around 50km/per hr the wind chill factor is a wintry minus 12.

Thredbo is prepped and ready for winter with snowmaking is set to fire in the next couple of weeks, it is looking good for a skiing start to winter 2018.
