August Snow

By Mike D - 5 August 2010

What a great week in Australia, with 2 massive storms rolling through bringing 65cm of snow. The base across NSW is 100cm and 65cm across Victoria. It's now time to wax or hire all mountain skis or boards and search for the powder stashes. For hire try our friend from Jindy Snow or The Summit.
