It's The End Of The Snow As We Know It

Team Traktor are heading back soon. Marion has just arrived back and Rosco's departure is imminent.

It seems the best of the northern winter is past, while in Thredbo it appears the worst of summer is past - or at least I'm hoping so.

Thredbo valley was full of a heavy smoke haze yesterday. I suspect from a bush fire burning 5km north of Mt Jagungal in the Kosciuszko National Park. Today, after a wind change, the air is much fresher.

Here's an assortment of photos from Traktorman

But these shots of Rob san, back on his board, make it hard to believe

Battle of the coffees. Rosco's individually named whilst Traktorman's is a little bearish

And what's it like in Thredbo? West side of Kosi chair

I've had a little feedback and I'm still fine-tuning my trial new weather pages but more feedback would be appreciated. The graphs update automatically every 30 minutes or so.
