Any ideas on how much snow there would be on Black Bluff at the moment?

I don't think there would be any on the northern side, maybe a drift left on the southern side. It wouldn't hold snow very long, like most of Tassie

I can see Black bluff from my house...there is a little bit of snow on the western side, but not much on the eastern side it seems..no snow from what I can see on valentines Peak at all.Went to cradle Mountain the other day, which had very little snow on it, but big lumps of snow on the road sides..

Was up there yesterday, via Winterbrook track - there is still a decent amount of snow about near the top, enough to go over my knees whilst on the track in places, not enough to lose the track.
Beautiful views - highly recommended :)

The 'circ' of sorts usually holds snow for quite a while it must be a bit sheltered or something
Nothing beats a nice camp fire
