Snow forecasts for Australian towns and ski resorts
Compare the rain and snow mix at four elevations around Australian alpine resorts and highland towns. Use location forecasts to see when cold air and precipitation may coincide.
Understand the guidance
Four elevations, one location
Each location has four elevation charts. Compare the height closest to your destination with the surrounding levels: small changes in elevation can change whether precipitation falls as rain or snow. The directory covers NSW, Victoria, Tasmania and the ACT.
Read the cumulative curves
Blue shows cumulative rainfall and red cumulative snowfall over the forecast window. Read the units and timing on each chart; cumulative snowfall is not automatically the depth that will remain on the ground.
Cold air needs precipitation
Temperatures can be suitable for settling snow while little precipitation occurs. Read the snow/rain amounts alongside the settling-temperature guidance rather than treating a strong cold signal as guaranteed snowfall.
Plan, then reassess
The charts extend across a 10-day forecast window where available. Longer-range timing and amounts can change substantially. Check the run date, compare successive updates, and consult current resort and road conditions before travel.
Find your destination
Search the live directory by location, filter by state, and select any chart to enlarge it. Locations include Perisher, Thredbo, Falls Creek, Mount Hotham, Mount Baw Baw, Ben Lomond and highland towns.
