"There’s nothing like gliding down a snow-covered slope.
That’s if you ask the thousands of people that make an annual pilgrimage to our
alpine resorts during the Australian winter.
But this year, the start to the snow season has been far from spectacular.
While there is still some way to go before the typical peak of the season in
mid- to late August, maximum snow depths have declined by around 30% since the
middle of last century.
Given the underwhelming start to the season, many ski resorts are struggling to
attract visitors and keep their lifts running. It’s also affecting local
businesses, alpine communities and parents who hoped a school holiday skiing
trip would keep their kids occupied.
So why is there so little snow this year? And what does it mean?"
