Perisher Blue may have beaten them to it, but fellow Aussie resorts Mt Buller and Thredbo were hot on its heels. Both opened officially today, as did Mt Hutt, in New Zealand's Canterbury region.
Mt Buller (www.mtbuller.com.au) has kicked off with a winter festival over the weekend and has launched a new automated snowmaking system. The snow levels don't look up to much at the moment though. The website says two lifts are open, but the snow report lists a base of 0cm and the webcam suggests a distinct lack of snow.
Thredbo (www.thredbo.com.au) looks a more promising option, with light snow currently falling and possible blizzards forecast for tomorrow.
Mt Hutt (www.nzski.com) was able to open from summit to base, thanks to a 20-30cm base. The Summit Six chair, Exhibition Quad and beginners' terrain park are all open.
Coronet Peak (www.nzski.com), near Queenstown, has been less lucky with the weather and has had to postpone its opening date, originally intended for today.
