Today (Thursday) afternoon, it looks like a cm or two of wet slush on the toboggan slope. Fingers crossed for tonight.

It's 10 degrees in Narbethong atm. Too warm to snow on the mountain. Maybe it will snow over the next couple of days.

Nice read CM, I reckon because of the lack of snow on trails in winter with no snow gaps between weather systems I think that they should be prepared to groom the trails and open then up wether It be a couple of weeks early from the opening weekend, because who knows there might not be enough on the opening weekend or the coming days into the season. Although I'm thinking that might not be feasible because of the staff required on the mountain. But hey if they publicised it over Facebook/Internet they may earn some extra dollars and keep some xc skiers happy

I reckon snow level will be too high.

Shame it's not white up there - maybe later this arvo?

This is what I got up to two years ago today: http://aussieskier.com/trip-reports/tr-lake-mountain-15511-may-skiing/?affiliates=2

Hey Tecks keep us posted with the conditions - I could be tempted to pay a visit if there's enough to slide on.

Mmm, very nice. I think that one is greatly needed at the trail head, It gets very slushy and sketchy there even when snows good

I imagine they'll wheel it out in the next day or two, as soon as it gets cold enough. Or it may be out but going elsewhere. But they have a new one - much much bigger than the yellow one, apparently. biggrin They're planning to make snow on the second toboggan run, so that the main one won't get so congested when the snow's not A1.

What happened to that huge yellow snowmaker with the fan on it at the toboggan slope? I reckon they should put a few more snow machines on the lower elevations of the xc trails. It'l happen one day...

Hopefully LM gets a little more out of this system, it sure seems cold enough and possibly low enough still. Can't wait to get up there!

The ice-maker affectionately known as 'the slug' is spewing forth its 'snow' on the toboggan slope:



The mountain is guaranteeing snow (mix of man-made and natural) for this coming Sunday. So come up and get a taste of winter early.

A dusting of snow on Lake Mountain this morning and more snow expected through the week.
Post your pics and trip reports for the winter in this thread.
