Ask a Kiwi about skiing in Australia and they'll laugh from the belly. One look at the big mountain peaks of New Zealand's Southern Alps and Australians know why. But while 50,000 Aussies cross the Tasman to schuss the slopes each winter, few New Zealanders come our way. Those Kiwis haven't done their figures. |

Quite a few of them end up in Japan each northern winter. There is even a New Zealander setting up Ski Instruction in Hakuba for NZ his customers. Many Aussies also don't bother heading to New Zealand as they would rather spend there money on a northern winter trip where they will have bigger and better mountains and guaranteed better snow.

NZ is having a fairly average season, Australia is having a MONSTER snow season, and guess which country I'm in right now? Lucky me.
Even the smaller, low altitude resorts have lots of powder! Many lowland areas of the state of Victoria are under snow, so imagine what the high mountains are like!
Have a look at the webcams for most Australian resorts here. http://ski.com.au/snowcams/
