Perisher's peaks dusted with more than 10cm of snow ahead of ski season
The ski season has started early with Australia's largest resort covered in fresh snowfall overnight. Less than two weeks ahead of its official opening, Perisher Ski Resort's seven peaks was covered by more than 10cm of snow as of 4pm on Tuesday. 'Overnight temps dropped to a fresh -3C and, combined with plenty of precipitation, Perisher is wearing some white this morning,' the resort said. 'We're stoked to have 10cm of fresh snow on the ground after a wild and windy 24 hours at Perisher. 'It's the perfect prelude to the season, and we're counting down the days until we're ripping in again.' The first snow of the season arrived in early and mid-May. Winter sport enthusiasts welcomed the woolly weather, hoping for more as Perisher's opening on June 7 – coinciding with the King's Birthday long weekend and three-day Peak Music Festival – gets closer. 'Please please please Mother Nature turn on the taps,' one wrote. 'Keep up the hard work ghosts of Perisher.' 'Keep it coming,' another said, while a third added: 'Love it'. The Bureau of Meteorology forecast a very high chance of snow showers across the day, expected to ease into the evening. A low of minus 4C is set to hit the slopes on Thursday.
