Over A Metre Of Snow Falls in Australia
Published : 25-Jun-2014 08:46
After its dry start to the season on June 7th following a 'warmest ever' May, Australia is now seeing one of its biggest snow storms with up to 1.2m of snow fall over the last 72 hours – and it is still falling.
There are 19 lifts open at the continent's largest resort, Perisher, which promises more terrain and lifts will open as the storm clears – which is expected towards the weekend.
These are scheduled to include the resort's new $4million Freedom Quad Chairlift.
Hotham reported 50cm of snow during the first 24 hours of the storm and have opened their Summit Trainer, the Big D, Upper Playground, Summit Quad, Road Runner and the Village Chair lifts.
"We are also opening the Dinner Plain lift on Friday if everything goes to plan," said a resort spokesperson, " Plus our teams are working tirelessly which means we will open even more lifts for the school holidays."
