Winter 2012 End of Season Report Chairperson’s Foreword This is the seventh End of Season Report produced by Council. It provides a wealth of information that will be of interest to a wide range of alpine stakeholders. It contains information on visitation and snow depth, as well as summary information on economic significance and visitor satisfaction. The 2012 snow season produced some of the best snow for the decade. This resulted in sufficient snow enabling very good visitation during the critical June/July school holidays and the continuation of good snow cover for the remainder of the season for most Victorian Alpine Resorts.
