Victoria's Best Snow Season In Years
Victoria’s alpine resorts have banked their heaviest snow in years.
Falls Creek has received more than 3 m (10 ft) across the season, including 71 cm (28 in) in a single recent storm. A separate 69 cm (27 in) dump pushed visitor numbers to near-record levels.
Mount Buller logged 60 cm (24 in) in the past week, while Mount Hotham and Falls Creek both reported higher-than-average snow depths for June, July, and now early-September.
This winter’s consistent top-ups and rare heavy snow days will extend the season deep into spring.
“Dwindling snow” remains the official line.
