Victorian snow lovers have enjoyed a dream ski season, with resorts reporting the deepest snow levels in 13 years.
With above-average falls of powder, the state's popular alpine resorts have been teeming with visitors...
A week of spring blizzards and freezing temperatures have delivered snow depths above two metres to Falls Creek, Mount Buller and Mount Hotham.
Both Falls Creek and Mount Buller have extended their seasons until October 8, because of the bumper snow...
Mount Buller spokeswoman Katie Bowker said the resort had recorded the largest cumulative snowfall since 2004.
"It's crazy, it's amazing," Ms Bowker said. "Everyone is absolutely on top of the world."
"We've had 70 centimetres in the last four days, which is amazing up here for the first week of spring."
Ms Bowker said Mount Buller was operating 19 of its 22 lifts, 14 more than at the same time last year.
Mr Fenton said the area recorded an enormous 217 centimetres of snow on Friday, giving the resort one of their best snow seasons in recent years.
"It's the first time we've broken two metres since 2004," Mr Fenton said. "We're really really close to the best snow season in memory."
Victoria is not the only state looking like a snowy wonderland. Roads and schools have been closed across Tasmania after snow fell as low as 200 metres above sea level on Friday.
