Hi All-

Has anyone been out to check the ice conditions in the Bogong or Mt. Buller areas?

Any info would be greatly appreciated or any suggestions/recommendations on other ice climbing areas.

Cheers,

Brad

Check out my trip report from Buller. Posted last night.
Or check the Winter Climbing thread.
Haven't bumped into anyone that's been to Bogong yet this season. Last weekend was a bit warm (I was at Hotham, skiiing).

I'm heading out to Bogong on this weekend for four or five days to play around Pollux and maybe board some shoots off the south side. Forecast looks cold, wet and snowy. I'll give an update on Bogong ice conditions next week.

Also in www.ski.com.au, there is a section called "Reports" and sometimes they do report on back-country conditions. The PB xc/back-country link often reports on recent ice conditions at Blue Lake in NSW for example, maybe the other resorts/reports have something similar for other areas.
