Tons of powder!!
Seems that Aust is getting loads of snow these days and ski season is extended most of the time.
Note: if you intend to bring your own food to micorwave, head to the base of the ski lifts, there is a little restaurant which allows you to use their microwave.
We only discovered it AFTER we spent an hr heating up our food in hot water in our basin!
Hey sorry guys - haven't checked on this thread for long.
Went Mt Buller Sept 2010 too! I probably went too late for the season, snow got thin & wet. Much was manmade so didn't spend much time carving lines in the snow. Nevertheless, the cold weather made my trip worth. Actually, anything cooler than our warm & humid Singapore will be worth it =P
Also did Niseko Village in January 2011 & spring ski in Tahoe in May 2011.
Niseko's the usual awesome powder plus powder plus heaps of powder.
Tahoe's the one that surprised me greatly - thought that snow wouldnt be any good under the 'spring ski' category but man i was so wrong. Yes, got sunburnt pretty badly (didn't expect that) but the snow was sooooo good. Fell alot but had a blast!
Any plans for trips Q4 this year? So looking forward to next trip!
