well folks the ski season has arrived
but it seems snowfall hasn't well at
least not what we usually get so far
anyway hopefully things improve joining
us live now is Mount Buller on Mount
Sterling Communications manager uh real
Morgan re good to see you this morning
so we can see a bit of it behind you
there so how much snow is
there well we've been making tons and
tons of the stuff we got busy doing that
about a month ago so as you mentioned
we're just waiting for mother nature to
do her thing looks like that's going to
happen next week but it's the opening
weekend this weekend and we just wanted
to get sliding early so we've been busy
making some of our own so where you are
how many lifts are open
Etc we're going to get sorry we're going
to get bur street right over here at
Mount bulla on Saturday for the long
weekend we're also going to have
sightseeing and we've also got a car the
M terrain Park so we're very spoiled
we're going to get quite a lot more
skiing than the rest of the country is
we're really excited to get started oh
how are bookings going what sort of
numbers are you
expecting we're already seeing lots of
people already booking in their plans
honestly the long weekend a chance to
celebrate it's a big part we've got a
three-day weekend that's honestly what
it's all about and if we get to go
skiing that's always a bonus lots of
people have booked in to come and join
the celebrations here at Mount buer
we're starting to celebrate 100 Years of
skiing on Mount buer if you can believe
that so it's going to be a bit of a uh
bit of shenanigans up here i' sayans hey
look just just getting back to that
point that I was I was I was suggesting
earlier with not much snow about or it
doesn't at least look like it because
it's not just where you are it's it's
quite widespread as well how does so far
this season compared to previous Seasons
at this stage of the
year look it's not uncommon and you know
talk to any skier or snow border I was
just catching up with um some of the
local business people here in the
village who are two three gener ations
at businesses here it's not necessarily
normal that we ski on the long weekend
June it's usually later in June as you
would know that we start to see that
snow so we're certainly you know of
course always taking those issues around
climate very seriously but let's
remember that the long weekend in June
is not normally when we expect to see
mountains covered in snow when's Peak
when's go
time look we like to have a lot more
snow on the ground as we get ready to
welcome everyone for the school holiday
so end of June into July that's when we
want to see a lot we like the fact that
there's some on thecast next week hey
what's the temperature it looks chilly
enough what's the temperature today nice
and blow for you I think at the moment
we're hovering around zero but with the
wind chill I can confirm it's a little
fresher than that okay all right I'll
take your word for it
