Visual Recap of the Recent Snowfall in Australian Ski Resorts

Comments · 0 Views

After the best start to the Australian ski season in years, snow cam images before and after the blizzard tell the story.

Over the weekend, Australian ski resorts experienced a significant snowfall, with approximately 50 to 70 cm of snow accumulating on the highest parts of the mainland. This snowfall was in line with earlier predictions and resulted in lifts spinning at most resorts, with more terrain expected to open soon.

As the weather cleared up on Tuesday, we have compiled before-and-after images from various Australian snow cams to showcase the transformation. Let's take a closer look at how some of the popular resorts fared:

Mt Perisher

Mt Perisher, home to Australia's newest chairlift, witnessed a remarkable change after the storm. The installation of the six-seater 'Mt Perisher 6' chairlift, replacing the old double and triple chairs, is set to open by June 21.

Selwyn Snow Resort

Selwyn Snow Resort in New South Wales, known for its smaller size and lower summit, also saw a significant snowfall. Despite missing out on big dumps received by higher resorts, Selwyn gained at least 30cm of snow during the blizzard.

Mt Blue Cow

At Mt Blue Cow, part of the Perisher resort, the snowfall transformed the landscape. Although the second image is from June 9 due to technical issues, the contrast is evident, showcasing the impact of the blizzard.

While a little snow is expected in the coming days, it is unlikely to match the magnitude of last weekend's falls. For the latest forecasts and live cams, be sure to bookmark the Weatherzone snow page for the 2025 ski season.
