Deluge due in Australia's snowfields
A cold blast with wild winds has downed trees as Australia's ski fields are prepare to be hit with a deluge of new snow.
A week of spring blizzards and freezing temperatures have delivered snow depths above two metres to Falls Creek, Mount Buller and Mount Hotham.
Both Falls Creek and Mount Buller have extended their seasons until October 8, because of the bumper snow.
Mount Buller spokeswoman Katie Bowker said the resort had recorded the largest cumulative snowfall since 2004.
"It's crazy, it's amazing," Ms Bowker said. "Everyone is absolutely on top of the world."
"We've had 70 centimetres in the last four days, which is amazing up here for the first week of spring."
Ms Bowker said by mid-September, businesses on the mountain usually began to close for the season.
She said ski resort entry figures were 5 per cent higher than last year, and 10 to 20 per cent up on the 10-year average.
"It's an extra week of work for people," Ms Bowker said.
"Some businesses would start closing around now but a lot are now making the commitment to stay open"
Ms Bowker said Mount Buller was operating 19 of its 22 lifts, 14 more than at the same time last year.
Falls Creek has had almost 150,000 visitors to their resort so far this season, resort spokesman Nathan Fenton said.
He said "it's a good time to be here," with 92 runs and 14 lifts open.
Mr Fenton said the area recorded an enormous 217 centimetres of snow on Friday, giving the resort one of their best snow seasons in recent years.
"It's the first time we've broken two metres since 2004," Mr Fenton said. "We're really really close to the best snow season in memory."
The reason for the heavy snow? Low rainfall and consistently cold conditions, Bureau of Meteorology climatologist Blair Trewin said.
"With the snow we've had this week, it's now a significantly above-average season," Mr Trewin said.
He said the good conditions would continue into next week, meaning more snow is ahead for the peaks.
"Next week's system will be cold enough for snow," he said.
Victoria is not the only state looking like a snowy wonderland. Roads and schools have been closed across Tasmania after snow fell as low as 200 metres above sea level on Friday.
