Hey man, I just writing to you to make sure you know what the weather is going to be like for when your going to be here. March, April and May are kind of warm/cold. The weather will gradually get colder as we go on, but the lowest it'll get is probably 15 degrees. It'll definitely be much warmer than in Helsinki during March and April, but May will probably be kind of the day So you don't need to pack that heavy snow jacket that you probably wear, although you may need to bring a rain jacket and jumper for when it gets colder.

We are also going to go to Thredbo, and that will be much colder than in Sydney. It snows a lot there, and so is pretty cold. If you have a light snow jacket you should bring that, as well as your jumper and rainjacket. For Thredbo you will need warm, semi-waterproof clothing.

For everyday wear you will need shorts, board shorts, jeans, T-shirts and a jumper. You'll wear the shorts and T-shirts pretty much everyday, but when it rains, gets a bit colder or when we go to Thredbo, your going to need jeans, raincoat, jumper and light snow jacket. You probably wear snow gear and cold weather gear all day, so I suppose this will be very different to what your used to.
