The heaviest snowfalls since early July have led to visitors being turned away from the overflowing car park at Australia's largest ski resort Perisher.
and the crowds didn't miss it, with visitors turned away on the road to Australia's largest ski resort Perisher on Saturday morning.
Perisher has so far received 32 centimetres of fresh snow in this storm, the highest amount of any Aussie resort, with totals of around 10 to 25 cm at most other resorts, which explains the influx of snow-goers in what has thus far been a moderate season with crowds noticeably smaller on most days than in recent years.Conditions were great on August 19, 2023, as long as you allowed time to get up to Perisher via the Skitube if you missed the spots in the car park.
Fortunately for those with tickets to Perisher, access to the resort is still possible via the Skitube, a railway which runs through the mountain to both Perisher Valley and Blue Cow via the Alpine Way.Despite this, locals report the road from Jindabyne to Perisher was "like a car park" as early as 7am.Meanwhile these snowfalls have been particularly good news for Australia's smaller, lower-altitude resorts which have been struggling this winter.
Virtually all of the resorts's infrastructure was wiped out in the fires, and rebuilt over the last three years, and the resort finally reopened in June 2023, only to close again in early August due to lack of snow.The live cam shows a decent turnout of skiers, snowboarders and tobogganers at Selwyn Snow Resort as it reopened after snowfalls on August 19, 2023
The ski lifts and toboggan park are spinning again at Selwyn this Saturday, and the resort's snow cams show that the crowds haven't missed out on the action.So while the snowfalls of recent days have freshened up the cover, they haven't quite added enough to the base to turn a below-average snow season into a good one with spring fast approaching.
