Long Awaited Cold Front Blesses Aussie Ski Resorts With Fresh Snow

TL;DR

The long-awaited storm has finally arrived in Australia, transforming ski resorts into a winter wonderland. Following a disappointing opening weekend due to limited snow, Mother Nature has unleashed a powerful cold front, bringing substantial snowfall to resorts in Victoria, particularly Falls and Hotham, with over 25cm (10 inches) of fresh snow. This, combined with artificial snow from snow guns, has set the stage for the chairlifts at Falls Creek, Hotham, Perisher, and Thredbo to begin operation later this week. Excitingly, this cold front marks the beginning of a series of weather systems, as forecasted by OpenSnow, with a stronger system expected to arrive next week and persist for around five days. This extended period of snowfall holds the promise of ideal conditions and ample snow, leading to full operational capacity at the resorts by the start of July.
