Southern winter / The season ahead

Plan your Australian winter.

Compare the same seasonal window across the mountains, then plan your ski days and pass. Temperature and precipitation come first; neither is a forecast of mountain snowfall.

One calendar window for every mountain. Changing it keeps the mountains together.

These are probabilities for the below-normal, near-normal and above-normal thirds of the 1991–2020 climate distribution. CanSIPS uses a coarse 1° grid, about 100 km, and does not resolve ski-area terrain. Long-lead forecast skill has not been validated for these mountains. There is no snowfall ranking or predicted opening date.

Perisher, Falls Creek and Hotham pass links open the 2027 AUD comparison below. Other pass links open the general USD calculator with one editable day; verify current local products with the resort. Source probabilities are rounded to one decimal place, so totals may differ slightly from 100%. Overlapping three-month windows are not independent monthly forecasts, and your ski week can differ from the seasonal pattern.

Comparison covers lift access only. Add Skitube or other transport, resort entry, lodging, rentals and lessons separately. An empty ticket quote stays unknown. Changing days or peak-date choices clears that quote so a different trip is not compared accidentally.

Planning Japan, North America or Europe too? The 2027 Epic Australia Pass’s overseas season is 2027/28, starting November/December 2027. It does not cover winter 2026/27. Overseas limits and exclusions vary; the four-day pass has no overseas access.
