More Australian Centres Ending Seasons Early
More Australian Centres Ending Seasons Early

Charlotte Pass, Falls Creek and Thredbo have joined the list of Australian ski centres ending their seasons early due to warm weather and a declining snowpack.
Falls Creek will close on Friday, 13th, September; Charlotte Pass, which is home to the country's highest slopes and Thredbo a week today on the 15th. They join other Aussie areas already closed early including Mt Buller, Hotham, and Selwyn Resort.
"What a winter we've had at Falls Creek! From perfect snowmaking conditions throughout early season, to an 80cm snowfall week, powder days and so much great skiing and boarding, winter 2024 has been memorable. Mother Nature has had her own plans this season, which has resulted in a decline in snow conditions, meaning our lift operations will finish on Friday 13 September," a resort statement on Sunday reads.
It means only Perisher, Australia's largest resort, will remain open into the latter half of September, assuming that it too doesn't announce an early closure. It is down to about 10% of its terrain left open with a 20-60cm base.
