A Story of Woe - No Snow

Rosco's last couple of emails have been tales of woe - no new snow and having to do groomers and the like. But, just look what led up to these drought conditions - pretty awesome in my opinion.

Rosco said the forecast for the storm was 1cm and they were only out by 100 times when an entire metre fell.

Did Rosco lend his camera to someone else or set the timer and rush back into position?

Meanwhile in Thredbo all is quiet. School holidays are almost over. Australia Day tomorrow but the weather isn't looking too kind. But it won't be quiet for long...

As my last Twitter has already announced, it's official: Chris Isaak is performing at Friday Flat on Easter Sunday - March 31st. This is a huge coup - well done KT.

February brings us Round Two of the Cross Country and Downhill Nationals.

March is full-on. Apart from Chris Isaak and Easter there is also the Country Music Festival in Thredbo Mar 22-24 and more mountain bike races.

And it's a pleasure to see Thredbo Jazz Festival has returned to May (3rd thru 5th).

You had better start booking.
