Australian snow fields hit with fresh dumps

It looks like winter is shaping up nicely for Australian skiers and snowboarders this season with roughly half a foot of fresh snow covering most resorts overnight.

Almost all of the major resorts in NSW and Victoria were reporting overnight snowfall of at least 13cm making for a great base and continued snow making operations. Temperatures are staying cool with most resorts reporting temperatures below 0 degrees celsius (that’s below 32 on the F scale).

Here’s a wrap-up of the reported snowfall in the last 24 hours:

Perisher – 13cm in the past 24 hours contributing to a 91cm base.

Thredbo – 20cm in the past 24 hours with a 90cm base.

Mount Hotham – 14cm in the past 24 hours with a 78cm base.

Falls Creek – 17cm in the past 24 hours with a 67cm base in snowmaking areas.

Mt Buller – 6cm of fresh snow in the past 24 hours with an 61cm base.
