PSL daily report for Sunday, August 14, 6:30 a.m.

It's a snow day! Dark.  cloudy, windy. Chilly, perfect for making nice soft powder snow. 
 You need to put on your chains for two wheel drive and to engage four-wheel drive at the Wilson's Valley chain bay. That is slowing the traffic up to 20kmh prior and there is plenty of it as usual on the weekends at this time. The road is icy and there is already a car off the side needing attention from the tow truck. So don't assume that a road that looks wet is necessarily just wet. Make sure you give the car in front a lot of room ... So many people tailgating who don't seem to have any idea how far a car will actually slide if you apply the brakes on snow and ice ... This is not the city folks .
.and don't use your brakes too much . It is a tad windy with forecast for around 40 k's an hour. Please check the weather links below for the expert reports and the resort app or the link below to see what lifts and runs are open. An event called the

PSL daily report Sat Aug 13 2022 7am. The main car park is half full.
It is pretty obvious that life will never return to what we knew as normal before the pandemic and all that involved and we have a 'new normal' in all aspects of life. That includes very obviously the daily and particularly weekend drive on the Kosciuszko road from Jindabyne to Perisher. As I've said previously, the only people who used to head up early at sparrows were staff and race club people and those doing First Tracks. 6:45 a.m. through the Barry Way roundabout used to ensure a decent park but now we have a situation where the car park fills up and the authorities  closed the road at Jindabyne to stop people going through for at least the morning. You can usually head up around lunch time and find something as people go home. On this page there has been a lot of blame and discussion about this matter, but we will not be tolerating the blame game anymore. It is time to accept it for what it is and if people wan

Join us tomorrow at the new Jindabyne Library Community Preview from 9am (Saturday 13 August 2022)

The official opening is now scheduled for 12 noon Monday 22 August 2022 with Minister for Tourism, Aboriginal Affairs, the Arts and Regional Youth, Ben Franklin.

The new library will then open for full operation, five days per week from 11am Tuesday 23 August, following the official opening on Monday 22 August 2022. Hours will be:
📚 Tuesday 11am – 3pm
📚 Wednesday to Friday 1 – 5pm
📚 Saturday 9am – 1pm

Jindabyne was the largest regional town in NSW without a library facility, beyond the travelling mobile library, so this is a great step for the region and there are many in the community who have campaigned hard for this over the years.

This new facility is a major asset for Jindabyne and the surrounding region. It was made possible with the financial support of the NSW Government through Create NSW’s Regional Cultural Fund and the 2021/22 Public Library Infrastructure 

Because the carpark is the biggest thing everyone wants to know about. 

Carpark was full at about 8:30am

PSL daily report Friday aug 12... And it's a freshies day!
We have had around 10 cm of fresh snow overnight and it is due to keep snowing a little bit this morning before potentially seeing a little bit of sunshine for a few hours. It is raining out of Jindabyne and sleeting from Prussians Creek where motorists are being asked to fit chains to their two-wheel drives and engage four-wheel drive  at 7am. So one vehicle turned around because they were not carrying chains for this sedan not only risking their safety but fines. It is compulsory to carry chains for two wheel drives on the road to Perisher in the winter months . It is a bit windy so consider the wind chill factor and layer up and it goes without saying that you will need your low vis eyewear. The good news is the snow is predicted to keep on falling all week which will top up our 104cm  base nicely. Despite the two-day rain event we had last week, we have had an amazing snow season which began early and have had snow at villa

While passing by  the bonny bonny banks of  ... Lake Jindabyne where we have a Scottish mist so thick I wouldn't be surprised if the Loch Ness monster stuck her head out to say good morning to the early morning exodus out of town. Take time to enjoy the beauty of our region..
Meanwhile, on the hill we have snow that is at the lower levels, at least, wet and heavy.  The top temperature is predicted to be three three around lunch time but the temperature at this time of the day is -7 with no winds s at the moment and we are forecast a partly cloudy day with a high chance of snow showers starting a bit later. If you are driving up, expect to be directed to put chains on your two-wheel drives and engage four-wheel drives at Wilson's Valley chain bay. 
 It is the second day of Cross Country Week and an event called the Boonona Open is happening from outside the Nordic shelter from 10am with late entries accepted, offering events for all ag

The Jindabyne Rugby Union Club has pulled off one of the club’s most memorable wins to claim the South Coast Monaro rugby premiership.

PSL Daily Report for Saturday August 6 6am:

Edits.. 734am there has been an accident between Smiggins and perisher involving several cars off the side of the road and traffic is at a standstill behind them. 

Doesnt matter who was right and who was wrong.(but as we said yesterday :-) ).it has been snowing and it remains to be snowing and those water holes are being filled in. The temperature is -0.5 with a windchill factor of possibly -16 at this time of the morning with the wind . For new arrivals, the 6:30 a.m. traffic out of Jindabyne is heavy and indicates a full car park and therefore a closure of the road by authorities at Jindabyne whether or not you have a pass, I am guessing around 8:30 a.m ish. So if you are not up and on the move take the local bus or the ski tube. There is snow and ice on the road with reasonably slippery driving conditions the closer you get to Perisher. Chains are being directed to put on two-wheel drives at Wilson's and the Boss shop folk are there offe

It’s not often you hear a backcountry enthusiast hoping for more rain (Be careful what you wish for!), but this has been the case through July as we gingerly avoided an ongoing wind slab problem in the alpine. These conditions have been relatively unusual for Australia in terms of the number and fre

THE Jindabyne Bushpigs will be looking for a vast improvement if they are to take out the 3rd grade South Coast/Monaro rugby grand final against Bungendore this coming weekend.

After a get out of jail performance against Hall last weekend, one where they started the second half in a precarious position and behind on the scoreboard 3-10, the Bushpigs will need to lift in all areas against the Bungendore Mudchooks, a team they have not beaten this year. 

While they showed moments of brilliance and certainly did not lack effort, coughing up cheap possession and handling errors are what cost them dearly in the first half. With a huge home crowd showing support, the team rallied with four second half tries for a 31-22 win to cement their place in the grand final.

Nathan Cotton who scored a crucial try in the second half to keep the Bushpigs in the game said the first half wasn't going in their favour and they just pushed to get in that grind.

Daily PSL report for Thursday August 4 2022
"Thunderbolts and lightning, very very frightening me, Gallileo!" Freddy Mercury would have been electrifying last night and this morning as   lightning flashes over the mountains and the heavy predicted rain drives down to earth (45mm so far). We are in an "extreme weather warning" . A very wet, stormy day today and a very, very wet snowpack.
Thredbo resort is closed  today...Perisher resort remains open with warnings that lifts and areas may close due  high wind and lightning. 
It really is not a good day to venture up the hill...I know some hardy holidaymakers feel they have no choice as these were their only days....please, take all care!.
Let's think positive, however, the models are still saying we will get a good amount of snow tomorrow... Jane Bunn predicts 20-50cm fri to sun down to 1700m and lower tomorrow.

PSL daily report for Tuesday, August 2, 2022.

I'm sure I just saw Winnie the Pooh and Piglet being blown through the car park... It is such a "blustery day" with 43kmh gusts that the temp of -1 "feels like" -7.9 with the wind chill factor applied (source-BOM) and it is predicted to get stronger during the day. We can say the benefit of the somewhere between 15 and 20 cm of snow that fell a day ago and the car park is nicely covered and looking just like a ski resort should. A small chance of more snow today,.partly cloudy. Again, what a friend describes as the" moving car park" (aka traffic out of Jindy ) began at 6:30 a.m And we need to accept that is the way it is. Today will be a day of looking for places out of the wind and using the t bars on the downhill lifted side of the hill and using the wind protected trails on the cross-country side. Speaking of cross country an event called cross-country ski week starts on Saturday and offers daily events for skiers of all ages,,, abiliti

Light snowfalls up high to start the week but there is bad news this week. Wednesday and Thursday will see heavy rain and gale force winds hit the resorts. NSW resorts will see most of the rain and it's likely there will be over 100mm in some areas. Victoria won't see quite as much but it will still significantly damage the existing cover. There is light snow following next weekend but nowhere near enough to replenish what will be lost.

PSL Daily report for Saturday July 30
"I'm walking on sunshine, woooah and don't it feel good!" And the walking on sunshine began for anyone wanting a car park from before The sun began to  rise... At 7:29 a.m. The main car park.os 3/4 full. 
Will this be the record setting day of the season so far with an earlier car park close than ever before, that is the question? Gone are the days of athletes and staff being the only ones on the road as the sun came up... After 2 years of lockdowns everybody wants to be here, the resort has not limited its annual pass sales and they are good value,  so who can blame them?  If the amount of traffic on the Barry Way/Kosciuszko road roundabout at 6:40 a.m. was anything to go by it is going to be one heck of a busy day on the hill. The traffic crawling past the Discovery caravan park was at one point moving at precisely 15 km an hour . ... It is definitely a day for an alternative transport method if you have not already hit the road. How ever you arr
