Australia’s ski season has started with a bang following a powerful snowstorm that swept through ski resorts in New South Wales and Victoria over the weekend.
Mount Hotham in Victoria recorded the highest snowfall, with a total of 51 centimeters. Perisher received around 35 centimeters, while Thredbo saw 26 centimeters of fresh snow. This early-season snowfall is the largest seen in several years, much to the delight of skiers and snowboarders across the country.
The snow action may continue, as a low-pressure system is forming off the coast of Victoria. Forecasts predict it could bring up to 70 centimeters of snow to high-altitude areas by Tuesday, potentially extending the winter fun for those in the mountains.
