DAYS TO TELL THE GRANDKIDS ABOUT...
...'I REMEMBER BACK IN 2010'
(August 27, 2010)
The season just keeps getting better with a month of continuous snowfall and we're currently experiencing a huge snowstorm bringing us well over half a metre of snow around the higher resorts.
The type of days that will be unforgettable in a lifetime of ski/board days.
We now officially have the snowiest August since at least 1992.
Our average snow depths are now edging close to two metres and there is xcellent fresh dry snow everywhere.
Its now time to get your bookings in for September. There should be plenty of snow for the school holidays.
Those out there the past two days have told us that it is some of the driest and deepest snow they've experienced in many many years. It doesn't get much better than this.
Mt Buffalo has plenty of snow too with the Toboggan Run and Tube Park open. Entry to Mt Buffalo is free.
AUGUST 2010
Real cold weather, real good snow falls. Mt Buffalo's toboggan run is running for the little and big kids, and Mt Hotham and Falls Creek are humming for the skiers and snow boarders alike. Make the most use of our free toboggans and the 10% discount we can offer you in all you need in ski, chain and clothes hire.

JUNE 2010

Snow for the Queen's Birthday weekend - a sign of a great winter! Lifts are now operating at Falls Creek and Mt Hotham. We have a big stock of wood for the fires and the hot spas are waiting for you. Free entry to Mt Buffalo from July, making snow fun for all the family even more affordable.

A late start to the cold weather had allowed the autumn colour to continue on for longer than usual. There are still lots of beautiful trees around in reds, orange and gold colours.

Autumn is truly here. Chestnuts and walnuts are being picked and are on sale at various roadside stalls. Vintage is finished at the vineyards and the wine is being made.

The nights are now crisp and cool and days warming and inviting - autumn is here! The leaves are staring to turn to the colours Bright is famous for. Look at the webcam to see the brilliant red vine along the rail trail.
