Australian Forecast – A Shot of Powder Tuesday Before Another Settled Spell
Published early Monday, 16th June 2025
It was a great weekend to be up in the Aussie Alps for the second weekend of the season. The groomed runs were and are still the pick of the bunch, as good snow-making conditions have continued, while off-piste is still in early-season mode.
This week, a front from the west will bring a fresh 5-10cm of snow from Monday night through Tuesday. High pressure will then settle in on Wednesday, bringing fine, settled weather through to the end of the week. More snow is on the cards next week.
Monday 16th June
Strengthening northwest winds will push cloud and patchy drizzle or snow flurries over Victorian resorts, while New South Wales will just be partly cloudy.
A front from the west will bring a shot of snow at night/overnight.
Tuesday 17th June
Continuing light snowfalls will back off to the odd flurry in Victoria in the afternoon and New South Wales in the evening, as strong, gusty northwesterlies turn westwards.
Wednesday 18th June
Any remaining snow flurries will clear by dawn, then clouds will gradually break up and dissipate throughout the day as west-to-southwest winds ease.
Thursday 19th June
Fine with high cloud and a west-to-northwest breeze.
Extended Forecast
High pressure will keep the weather fine and settled on Friday and the weekend, although cloud and northwest winds will pick up on Sunday as a front approaches from the west.
The front is expected to hit Monday, the 23rd June, bringing an initial bout of rain and high-level snow, followed by cooler temperatures and snowfall to around base levels from Tuesday through Friday. This should provide a much-needed boost to the snowpack for the weekend of the 28th-29th June.
That’s all from me today, folks. I’m sending out these forecasts every Monday, Wednesday and Friday throughout the season. Have a great couple of days, and I’ll see you back here on Wednesday.

Australian Forecast – Mint for the rest of the Week
Published early Wednesday, 18th June 2025
Just as we ordered, around 5-10cm of snow fell Monday night. Strong winds and snow showers continued through Tuesday, adding up to another 5cm or so, which Reggae and the crew will confirm in their morning reports. Cold temperatures have also had the snow guns firing, so we’re set up nicely for the rest of the week, which will be absolutely mint as high pressure passes over the Aussie Alps, although northwest winds will get up on Sunday. With clear, calm weather, overnight temperatures are expected to stay low enough for the snow guns to continue bulking up the main runs.

Wednesday 18th June
A nice, sunny day, although some cloud will linger about Baw Baw. West-to-southwest winds gradually die away.
Thursday 19th June
Fine with some high cloud and west-to-northwest breezes.
Friday 20th June
A calm & sunny day.
Saturday 21st June
Another cracker day, with northerly breezes developing.
Sunday 22nd June
Fine again, with a little high cloud and strengthening northwest winds.
Extended Forecast
The first half of next week isn’t looking as nice, as a storm system from the west is expected to pass over. Monday is likely to bring rain showers and strong northwest winds, followed by a bout of heavier rain on Tuesday. A cold change should bring light snowfall to at least the upper slopes on Wednesday into Thursday, before high pressure sets in for another fine weekend.
