Winter has started early in our alpine areas with good solid snowfalls providing a promising start to 2019.

Mt Selwyn got a jump on the bigger resorts by opening Thursday 30th May followed by Perisher on the Friday and Mt. Buller on the Saturday 1st June for the opening of their new Bourke St high speed 6 seater chair.

The fresh snow is sure to be a welcome distraction from the traditional Queens Birthday opening weekend parties.
