Very nice day on the hill on Saturday. Was up the mountain for first lifts and enjoyed the groomers first up. High noon was nice, but a little sticky in places (even at 8.40am). Did a couple runs there, then headed up Sponars for a few before the crowds got there. Exhibition was really good, the snow was soft, and almost dry (9am), and the first 3-4 runs down were pretty good, very good actually. Headed back down high noon, and it was already pretty slushy at the bottom by 9.30am. Over the day te cover just got softer and softer, with the lower slopes very sticky, more creamy than late spring heavy slush. Did a couple runs down Lovers leap and the run next to it (forget the name), and it was so soft that it practically felt like surfing.

Rode the whole mountain during the day, Little Beauty probably had the nicest snow that I rode, probably due to the lack of traffic. The cover over the whole mountain was still excellent, however there are a few rocks and bushes starting to poke through in the more exposed areas where the sun bakes down.

Excellent day on the hill, really really enjoyed it. Thredbo cannot be beat when its top to bottom on a deep base

Ice ice baby. Great blue skies, no wind, but the runs were very icy with quite a few patches of death cookies.

Rode Friday, Saturday and Sunday just past on probably the best snow I've had for a long time.

Friday was sunny, nice cover accross all the groomers...it didn't bump out up to much even on the supertrails, and stayed dry until the last 100m or so. Very good dry cover over the whole mountain.

Rode the entire resort on Saturday in excellent conditions. Upper mountain was best, and the ques were very short on the t-bars. Rode sponars in the morning, then went over to Karels where I was the only one riding the windblown up there (probably had something to do with the howling wind). Cover was fresh and dry, very very good. Merrits was probably the pick for snow quality, dry and windblown...with lots of it. Dream run is open but needs more on the lower sections to stay that way.

Sunday was an great day. Snow report said 10cm of fresh...there was up to 15cm in the trees up top. I pretty much rode the cruiser all day, there was no need to go anywhere else. The wind and the snowfalls filled in the old tracks pretty much all day (with a bit of variation). Had some nice deepish freshies in the trees, and it seemed like I was the only person up there taking advantage of this! No lift cue to speak of, and whoever was there were beginners. Went up around antons, but visibility was pretty bad for most of the morning.
I'm stoked, can't wait to get back down there.

Summary for Tues/Wed/Thurs - plenty of snow, sunny, virtually everything open, zero wind, nicely groomed runs and easy conditions making everyone look like an expert.

Off the runs it was good (and deserted as usual) but later in the week it was firm/icy in the morning, softening as the day goes on. But even those runs which often struggle for cover like Funnelweb, Cannonball and the lower runs are looking good all the way to the bottom.

GCB and Basin are blanketed and while snow conditions there varied day-to-day and even morning v afternoon, it's all better than average.

With more good snowfalls likely in the next week, now is a great time to extract value from the world's most expensive lift tickets.
