Hey guys, no seabreeze but it blew over 170 kms an hour up in the mountains, actually they all said it was 270 but I don't believe them, 170 is confirmed, so windy that my car which was left at Bullocks Flat had the window broken apparently lots of car windows got broken, lots of eye witnesses that it was the wind. One little girl in Charlotte Pass got blown UP the hill to her lodge, she was stoked but it was CRAZY up in them thar mountains, people getting blown over everywhere, four skidoos damaged. And not a windsurfer in sight. But the skiing has been FANTASTIC, powder, powder, powder.

I was at Falls Creek last week and I got blown uphill on the snowboard! And that was on the days that the slope was open! Out of 4 days we had rain, sleet, hail, 2m visibility and 2 days of no boarding as the winds were 150kmph+! Typical Australian skiing...
