Winter delivers record low snow and unprecedented warmth to Australian Alps
- Australian ski resorts are winding up operations early in 2026 after the warmest winter on record.
- Along with mild temperatures, winter also brought frequent rain to the high country, preventing a seasonal snowpack from establishing across lower alpine elevations.
- This year also marks three very lean years in the past four, continuing the long-term decline in snowfall across the Australian Alps, which is proving to be one of the most tangible signs of our warming climate.
