ON THE GROUND REPORT
Aug 24 2026 06:49 AM: It is partly cloudy this morning and a mainly fine day ahead, the temps currently +3.5. at the base in Perisher but it is +1.9 up the top and the wind is westerly at 22-35km/hr, possibly a little stronger up high. The snowmakers had a marginal night, firing the guns for a couple of hours before midnight. __________Snow conditions are pretty well the same as yesterday, firm this morning so stick to the groomed runs early with Legends, Leichhardt Loop, Vista, Front Valley and Zali's among the picks. It will start to soften off piste around mid-morning, worth a look around Mount P and Centre Valley while lower slopes will soften, turning slushy in the middle of the day as we head for max temp of +9 degrees. _______ 34 lifts are scheduled to open today, but Pleasant Valley is open only for access to Perisher and the Interceptor for access to Blue Cow. No prepared runs are open in Guthega but the carpark double chair and Blue Cow t-bar are open for access to Blue Cow. _________________ We are in for a wet and windy day tomorrow with heavy rain at times that will hit the snow pack again. However the system moves through pretty quickly, fine weather returning on Wednesday, check the Grasshopper's forecast for the latest details. Make the most of today's weather, get out there for some fun in the sun and have a great day. - Reggae
