Australia snow forecast

6 resorts · ranked by live 10-day powder score · leading right now: Charlotte Pass (20)

Australia's Snowy Mountains and Victorian Alps (Thredbo, Perisher, Hotham, Falls Creek) run a June–October season fed by cold fronts off the Southern Ocean. Totals are modest and the snow rides heavier than the global benchmarks, but when a proper east-coast low lines up, the main range delivers genuine powder days — and the 10-day score is the difference between catching one and missing the season.
