The winter that started slow has turned into an incredible season. Almost 2 metres of snow has fallen in higher areas of the Alps this month and the current batch of powder is deep and dry and gives some incredible skiing and boarding.

There are updates on snow conditions on the Mountain Watch website.

These are just a few random images from the Hotham area from today.

Be aware that there is some avalanche risk in back country areas such as along the Razorback.

The current gos on the mountain (friday 27th) is that the Hotham – Harrietville road will be open by lunchtime today.
