The snow season has come early this year on the ski fields in NSW and Victoria as a cold snap blows into both states NSW and Victoria.
Thredbo, Mount Hotham, Perisher and Falls Creek recorded snow over night on the April 19, 2013 signalling a start to the Winter seasons. A few centimetres of snow overnight has seen the barometer fall below freezing and residents woke up to a white outlook.
The ski season doesn't officially start until the Queen's Birthday weekend in June, however it is possible to get some snow falls in the alpine regions during the warmer months when a very strong cold front comes through.
On occasion's in summer, it can snow in the Victorian Alps while Sydney was recording 42 degrees.
Thredbo's recorded falls on Friday and over the Snowy Mountains were the first recorded snowfalls in NSW this year. The states coldest recorded spot on Friday morning was Mount Hotham, where it was -3 degrees.

2013 Burton European Open - Slopestyle Wrap Up
This years Slopestyle competition at 6Star Burton European Open was cancelled due to bad weather. The Men's finals and the entire Women's event was shut down after the bad weather set in. You can bet the majority of snowboarders hit the slopes anyway. The prize money for the women's event was split evenly amongst the contestants. In the men's event, the scores of Wednesday's Semi-Finals would be counted as the final results, allowing Torstein Horgmo to take the podium, with Mark McMorris and Sebastien Toutant taking second and third place. Torstein said "Six years ago I broke my back here in Laax at the BEO, now I'm back for the first time and I won, it can't be better! It has been an amazing week, too bad the weather didn't allow to ride the finals today, but we all gave our best yesterday."
