Indeed.Do we think that this suggests sales are down this year? One can only hope.
Maybe they thought this week's falls would spur some action.

Golly that’s brave!
Not as much as I think they'd hoped it would. That wasn't exactly a 'season starting' storm and they'll be struggling without about 2-3x that before the school holidays. Pass sales and the Aldi snow sale figures certainly point to an abattement of the post covid Australian skiing hysteria we saw the last few years.Indeed.

Camping I am absolutely fine with. But I am a cold frog, uncomfortable at 22 degrees! I might actually die.Backcountry Australia. Practically 0 cost, as long as you don’t mind camping!
That's what I'm thinking. Apres pisco?I’ve heard Chile can be good for skiing - but I haven’t done it myself yet.
I was at Hotham during your second week.Just returned from 14 days at Falls Creek..
Didn't help with lifts breaking down too. Wonder how long it will take for Vail to update lifts around the resort.
The coverage is ok however the village is going to be cleared so not much ski in ski out happening moving forward. Definitely hoping for some more snow to fall to finish out the season.
Thanks for the on the spot report. Not really what I wanted to hear, but it’s valuable info so thank for posting.Yes at Perisher warm temperatures for the last two nights and a small amount of rain has affected the snow making for very soft snow and negatively impacting the cover. Another warm period in the next 24 hours won’t help but maybe some snow falling at 1700m as part of the forecast precipitation after that will help prolong the season (Thredbo may not fare so well though)
Yeah, my youngest brother lives at Jindabyne and takes his board out most days and reckons the season is all but done. Some of the workers at Thredbo and Perisher that he is friends with have been told they will most likely be sent home in the next fortnightYes at Perisher warm temperatures for the last two nights and a small amount of rain has affected the snow making for very soft snow and negatively impacting the cover.

wow - I have been watching the weather forecasts and Tassie seems to have been taking a beating at times, but getting snow was a bonus.Not in Tassie. In a last minute rally, the tows at Mt Mawson are open again this weekend.
What’s Madonna Di Campiglio like for skiing compared to Alta Badia? I’ve only orienteered in Madonna Di Campiglio (in summer), but I head to Corvara every February. I have a week between Corvara and heading home this Feb and I’m wondering if it’s worth stopping off at MdC for a few days. I’m curious as to how it compares in winter. It was fabulous for orienteering.Personally, I am going to Italy and France in Feb / March for a bit of a road trip / resort sampler.
Starting with a return to the Dolomiti Superski area for 4 days, based in Alta Badia, then exploiting our Epic passes we have a week in Dolomiti Skirama in Madonna di Campiglio, and a week in Trois Vallées.
After that, a few days in Val d'Isere, and back to Italy for a couple days in Courmayeur.
Desperately praying for a reasonable European winter ...
