Fresh Snowfall As Australia Approaches Final Weekend of 2025 Season
Published : 02-Oct-2025 12:23
There's been fresh snowfall on Australian ski slopes over the past 24 hours as the ski areas that are still open in the country approach their final weekend of their 2025 seasons.
Mt Buller, Falls Creek, Mount Hotham, Perisher and Thredbo remain open but all are expected to close at the end of the ski day this coming Sunday 5th October.
"We are so excited to have woken up to a fresh dusting of October snow here at Perisher," said Maddi Ventura, Perisher's Marketing Manager. "We're looking forward to an awesome closing weekend."
Accumulations of 3-6cm ended a period of mild, clear weather which saw daytime highs reach +15C. However the weather is expected to return to blue skies for the final days of 2025.
It's been a bumper season for Australia's ski resorts with regular good snowfalls from start to finish, with several areas reporting season totals of more than five metres of snowfall, the best in years and more than that recorded by ski areas in 2025 by most areas in the Andes and New Zealand. It's also the first time that some have stayed open into October for several years and Perisher's current 1.5m upper base depth remains one of the deepest in the world at present.
Falls Creek currently has the most terrain still open in the country with about 20km of runs still skiable.
"Winter isn't done with us yet! We've had 3cm of snow overnight with more snow set to fall throughout the day. Come and get those last laps in and enjoy the fresh October snowfall before the season ends on Sunday," said Sarah Gamon, Falls Creek's Field Marketing Coordinator. "The fresh snow is a perfect way to head into the weekend with sunshine in the forecast across Saturday and Sunday. We're heading into our final weekend with seven lifts spinning and plenty of great turns to be found."
