Australia’s ski resorts experience best conditions EVER – with so much snow they had to cancel SKI competitions

– The ‘Blizzard of Oz’: Australia’s ski resorts experience best conditions EVER – with so much snow they had to cancel SKI competitions:

Australians are enjoying the best ski conditions for 20 years after record snowfalls buried resorts as spring began.

More than 140cm fell on Thredbo in five days over the past week, a record for September, in what skiers have dubbed the Blizzard of Oz.

By Friday the snow was 233cm deep and still falling, covering slope markers, obstructing chairlifts and forcing patrons to dig themselves out of chalets.
