We called the snow event. We didn't call Mt Buller leading the pack with 25cm. Falls Creek is sitting on 15cm and still falling, Hotham at 15cm, Thredbo at 13cm overnight. Snowguns are firing across the board and Opening Weekend is Saturday. The 2026 Australian season is starting in serious shape.

The 2026 Australian ski season opens on Kings Birthday weekend - 6 to 8 June - and the timing couldn't be better. A natural snowfall event is tracking across the Alps right now, with Perisher forecast to pick up 43.3cm and Thredbo 35.6cm over the next 10 days. Cooler temperatures from the start of June will also get the snow guns running. Not a blockbuster opening - but a genuinely solid one. Here's the full breakdown.
