Nutcracker Ski Club

Hi All,

What a day!

Fires continued relentlessly throughout the day in Eastern Victoria. It came within a Kilometre of the Mt Buller Village on the South and West side of the mountain with most of the southern ski runs affected. Spot fires occured at Kofflers and the Summit area, but these were quickly extinguished.

Fires surrounded the Wombat Chair lift. Operators kept the lift running to prevent the fire affecting the cables.  Kofflers and Wombat Kiosk escaped harm.

Action is being taken on the water catchment areas to protect water supplies.

Ember attacks are expected this evening before the cool change takes affect.

I took a couple of looks at the Ski.com.au webcams today and some of the views from the “Chamois” cam would have been fairly unnerving to be amongst.

The Tourist road remains open to the public, but again it is strongly advised to delay unessesary travel to the area.

Hopefully the cool change brings welcomed relief for the firefighters.

 Will keep the updates coming as it comes to hand.
