The best snow season in years continues to get better, as our Snowy Mountains based resorts received further welcome snowfalls over a wild weekend.

Gale force winds and snow hit most parts of the region across Thursday, Friday and Saturday of last week. Local State Emergency Services crews were only called to a number of minor incidents.

Thredbo Resort received 77cm of fresh snow and Perisher Resort 67cm during the weekend’s snow storm.

Businesses across the Snowy Monaro are benefiting from what many have labelled the best snow season in four years. Cooma Chamber of Commerce and Mainstreet business owner, Alicia Bolton, said the weekend’s snowfalls will set local businesses up for the remainder of the season.

“This season has been terrific. We have definitely seen more traffic coming through Cooma and people visiting our cafes and shops,” Mrs Bolton said.

“The whole season is proving great. The weekend’s falls will only help local businesses, especially after a lean few winter seasons.”

Mrs Bolton said September is generally a quieter month for businesses but with more than 60cm of snow across Thredbo and Perisher, she expects the next month to be much busier.

“September is a quieter time around Cooma normally. We see a drop off in visitors, last year was very quiet,” Mrs Bolton said.

“But this year we are looking much better. Spring skiing will be popular following the weekend’s snow.

“2025 is proving a top season for all businesses.”

According to Snowy Hydro’s snow depth measurements, Spencer Creek is recording 220cm of snow, its deepest level in 13 years.
