From humble beginnings with a somewhat bleak initial outlook for the winter some sizable storms across the Australian Alps have resulted in some of the best days in recent memory. This trend continued across the weekend although the snow quality wasn’t as good as earlier storms, with wet show falling at higher elevations – above 1600m – and rain below that.  

The four-day accumulations will vary, dependent on location, but higher-end totals above 40cm are looking promising for the upper terrain in the major resorts the time by the time the snow showers ease Monday afternoon.

As for the season ooutlook as we hit the mid-season mark, let’s look at what has happened and what is predicted to happen for the second half of the Aussie winter season.

New Year New Me

Up until now the Australian resorts have seen some relatively regular storms gradually build bases to one metre.  Some rain mixed in has dampened the potential of a few fronts that rolled through but overall, the season is building solidly, especially thinking back to last season.
