OK......Drizzly or not, I'm going down to the snow to give it a go tomorrow (Sat)......if backcountry not welcoming then I'll spend the day down hill skiing. My windows of opportunity to go snow kiting are limited, so "ya take what ya get".

I remember last time we had a E to SE we scooted up to the top of Mt Kosciuszko...so who know what tomorrow will bring!!!

Wish you were coming Tim, but I guess bub takes precedence!!!

Last weekend ended up being a fizzer....great hiking weather, but Peter (met him at the top of Thredbo preparing to head off for some snowkiting. He has a 10m Access which he hoped to launch for the first time in the snow!) and I sat in the backcountry forlornly waiting for even a breath of air. Instead we had coffee at Eagles Nest and I went home early.

This weekend may bring some wind particularly on Sunday, so I might contemplate going up again. The snow conditions were not too bad in the backcountry, but the downhill runs at Thredbo were crap, so didn't buy a arvo ticket for a spot of downhill last Saturday. With the warm conditions leading into the weekend, downhill skiing might be a bit ordinary this weekend too.
