Alpine resorts at Falls Creek and Mt Hotham were continuing to be blanketed by fresh snow yesterday in a cold snap that could see more than 50cms by Saturday. Mother Nature delivered more than 20cms overnight into Thursday morning at Falls and 27cms at Hotham as the temperature dipped to -2.4C in winter reset. “Mother nature has turned it on for us again, blanketing the mountain in fresh snow and setting us up for the best spring conditions we’ve seen in years,” said Betony Pitcher, Falls Creek’s field marketing manager. “The village is sparkling under the flakes, while the slopes are enjoying a perfectly timed top-up before the sunnier days ahead.” Snowfall up until Thursday morning brought Falls Creek's average snow depth back up to 109cm, with a season total of 294cm so far, and Hotham's snow depth to 125cms with 316cms recorded for the season.
