Snow Reporter Comments: Fri 7 August, 09:19AM Another 2cm fresh and the Pirate Life Rail Jam Tonight! I was surprised to see it snowing lightly walking across the carpark early this morning. While not a lot, it's added up to a fresh 2 centimetres and mixed in with some overnight snowmaking there should be some fun to be had out there today. The current temp is -1.9, headed for a top of 2 degrees and right now there's a moderate WNW wind with stronger gusts at times. There's still the odd fine flake in the air and a light fog in the Village. The texture on the groomers feels great underfoot and I reckon they'll be the best option first up on a very edgeable surface. With the cool temps off piste will likely be firm and probably best avoided until some softening occurs. For the early birds the Road Runner Quad will be spinning from 7:30am for WRX First Tracks. In more good news the Pirate Life Rail Jam is on tonight down at the Big D. Kicking off at 5:30pm, get along and check out all the action under lights!
