Australia - Tasmania: latest snow conditions round-up

INTRODUCTION We briefly reached double-figures for the number of ski areas open in the Alps at the weekend as Saas Fee, in Switzerland, became the latest glacier to open for summer skiing. This took the tally across Austria, France, Italy and Switzerland to 10.

AUSTRALIA Australia is the place to be for powder lovers this week as snowstorm totals have now passed the metre mark at some Aussie ski areas after a week of almost non-stop snow.

Perisher (102/102cm), the country's biggest ski area, has reported the biggest accumulation of more than a metre and is also the first in the country to report a metre-plus base this season. Its number of open trails has more than doubled to around 70, more than half its total. Other resorts have largely reported 70-90cm totals. Falls Creek (73/73cm) and Mt Hotham (73/732cm) have about doubled their base depths and each has 50+ runs open as a result. The snow eased off at the start of this week bringing some epic fresh snow days, much to the delight of skiers and boarders lucky enough to be on Aussie slopes on Monday.
