Ski Australia - Tasmania

AUSTRALIA REPORT After a mostly dry week last week Australian ski areas saw a return of, albeit, fairly light snow in the middle of last week. It was the third autumn snowfall this month and with temperatures staying fairly cool it meant anticipation levels remain high. Since then it has been rather warmer at 5 or 6 degrees above freezing and sunny for most. Those excitement levels were stoked further by the news that travel restrictions in New South Wales would be lifted soon and the province's leader specifically saying that he expected there would be a ski season this year; however, resorts including Thredbo said that whilst on the one hand they were delighted with the news, on the other clarified they wouldn't be able to open on the traditional season start weekend for Australia.
