At Selwyn Snowfields (8 cm) snow sports are possible only on New Chum Bowl today because of the thin snow base on their slopes. More significant snow showers are expected across Australian winter resorts this week, with Mount Buller (26 - 37 centimeters) having the most expected powder - around twenty-three centimeters of fresh snow.
