Australia’s largest and hottest ski resort Perisher introduced on Saturday that it might shut the Blue Cow and Guthega areas of the resort after this weekend, having already closed Smiggin Holes earlier this week, leaving simply the Perisher Valley space open.
9News has contacted Perisher’s proprietor Vail Resorts to substantiate whether or not any of the resort’s 4 distinct areas have ever closed this early within the days since snowmaking turned commonplace within the Nineteen Eighties, and can replace this story in the event that they reply.
In the meantime, not less than two different Australian resorts will probably be closed for snowboarding and snowboarding from Monday, together with Mt Baw Baw in Victoria, and Selwyn Snow Resort in New South Wales.
These two resorts are the bottom ski resorts in mainland Australia and have suffered worse than increased resorts from lack of snow within the meagre 2023 snow season.
Certainly, September is commonly the time of yr with the deepest snowpack, because it was in 2022 when the heaviest depth of the season at Spencers Creek in NSW – roughly midway between Perisher and Thredbo – was 232cm on September 20.
