The rollercoaster ride of Season 2016 in Australia hits a low point this week after the polar blast and dump of snow we saw in the mountains last week.

Things hit a snag this week but it won’t take long for things to turn positive. More snow coming this weekend….

I can see clearly now the storm has gone. We have a great cover of snow for mid July, probably a little better than expected earlier in the season. The big question now is when is the next one coming? What kind of weather do we have install for the mountains resorts over the next month?

Mother Nature’s turned on the snow guns from heaven for Coronet Peak and The Remarkables ski areas – dumping snow overnight and throughout today (Thursday July 14) with plenty more to come in the next 24 hours.
