Australian ski resorts have been experiencing one of the toughest ski seasons in living memory. Snowfall has stayed well below the average, and the 2024 winter season was even shorter than the 2023 winter season. Mount Buller, Mount Baw Baw, and Mount Hotham have ceased operations in Victoria. Falls Creek is still operating, offering skiing and boarding on five runs. In New South Wales, Selwyn had to close at the end of August, and after Thredboโ€™s closure next weekend, only Perisher and Charlotte Pass will still be operating in the state.
