Skiing in New South Wales
SKIING IN NEW SOUTH WALES Located within Kosciuszko National Park in the Snowy Mountains, NSW’s four snow resorts – Perisher, Thredbo, Charlotte Pass and Selwyn Snow Resort – each has their own style and personality. The resorts have invested heavily in recent years to extend the Winter snow and make sure skiers and boarders have optimal conditions. All-inclusive deals that bundle accommodation with transport, lift passes and equipment hire are a great way to stretch your dollar. The season generally begins on the June long weekend (the second weekend of the month), with loads of fun events planned throughout the weekend. Now is the time to start planning your Winter holiday – all you have to do is decide where to go. PERISHER The largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere, Perisher covers more than 12 square kilometres across seven peaks and four distinct resort areas – Perisher Valley, Blue Cow, Smiggin Holes and Guthega. It’s great for all ages and abilities with more than 1,200 hectares of skiable terrain, hundreds of runs, 100km of cross country trails, 47 lifts, five terrain parks and two halfpipes. 240 Current as at 8 February 2019 snow cannons ensure there’s a coating of fresh powder for the whole season. The large resort village has lots of places to eat and drink, and other restaurants are spread across the mountains. Once the lifts have closed for the day, there are plenty of welcoming bars and clubs. Enjoy comedy night at the Sundeck Hotel or, for something more refined, you can ski to the piano bar at the Base 1720 Bar and Restaurant or Curve Bar.

Australian Alps Education Kit – Teacher's Notes
teacher’s notes for THE AUSTRALIAN ALPS The Australian Alps, in all their richness, complexity and power to engage, are presented here as a resource for secondary students and their teachers who are studying... • Aboriginal Studies • Geography • Australian History • Biology • Tourism • Outdoor and Environmental Science ...with resources grouped within a series of facts sheets on soils, climate, vegetation, fauna, fire, Aboriginal people, mining, grazing, water catchment recreation and tourism, conservation. EDUCATION RESOURCE TEACHER’S NOTES 1/7 teacher’s notes This is an education resource catering for the curriculum needs of students at Year 7 through 12, across New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory and Victoria. The following snap- shots show the Australian Alps as an effective focus for study. • The alpine and sub-alpine terrain in Australia is extremely small, unique and highly valued as a water supply as well as for its environmental, cultural, historic and recrea- tional significance. • Most of the Australian Alps lie within national parks with state and federal governments working cooperatively to manage these reserves as one bio-geographical area. • Climate, landforms and soils vary as altitude increases and so create a variety of envi- ronments where different plants grow together in communities. These in turn provide habitats for a wide range of wildlife. Many of these plants and animals are found nowhere else in the world and some are considered threatened or endangered. • The Alps reflect a history of diverse uses and connections including Aboriginal occupation, European exploration, grazing, mining, timber saw milling, water harvesting, conservation, recreation and tourism. Retaining links with this past is an important part of managing the region.

Sensitivity of the Orographic Precipitation Across the Australian Snowy Mountains to Regional Climate Indices
CSIRO PUBLISHING Journal of Southern Hemisphere Earth Systems Science, 2019, 69, 196–204 https://doi.org/10.1071/ES19014 Sensitivity of the orographic precipitation across the Australian Snowy Mountains to regional climate indices Fahimeh SarmadiA,B,E, Yi HuangC,D, Steven T.

CSchool of Earth Sciences, The University of Melbourne, Melbourne, Vic., Australia. DAustralian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Climate Extremes, Melbourne, Vic., Australia. ECorresponding author. Email: [email protected] Abstract. The wintertime (May–October) precipitation across south-eastern Australia, and the Snowy Mountains, was studied for 22 years (1995–2016) to explore the sensitivity of the relationships between six established climate indices and the precipitation to the orography, both regionally and locally in high-elevation areas. The high-elevation (above 1100 m) precipitation records were provided by an independent network of rain gauges maintained by Snowy Hydro Ltd. These observations were compared with the Australian Water Availability Project (AWAP) precipitation analysis, a commonly used gridded nationwide product. As the AWAP analysis does not incorporate any high-elevation sites, it is unable to capture local orographic precipitation processes. The analysis demonstrates that the alpine precipitation over the Snowy Mountains responds differently to the indices than the AWAP precipitation. In particular, the alpine precipitation is found to be most sensitive to the position of the subtropical ridge and less sensitive to a number of other climate indices tested.
