With a snow base of 150 - 192cm in most resorts, the Australia Alps ended up having one of the best Augusts in years. Weekly dumps over the last 4 weeks have made for some epic conditions. For those of you that got down for a run, you picked the month. If you were fortunate enough to be there last Wedensday to Friday for the Pow, great, but if you missed that, groomers on Saturday and Sunday where as good as it gets! (Sunday - Funnel Web, Thredbo 8.40am - groomer top to bottom, I got that. Happy days).

September should be one of the best in years also. With over a 2 metre base in some resorts, we should have some of the best spring skiing and boarding in a long time.

Congrates to all the kids who skied in the State inter-school championships last week. We hope you did your best. For the lucky few who made it through to the Nationals next week, good luck to you and your schools.
