A metre of snow set to be dumped over the next 10 days

That slow start to ski season is well and truly past us as two "big bouts" of snow are set to be dumped over the next 10 days.

Weatherzone is predicting a metre of coverage to the country's main resorts after many were slow start to the seaso unable to open for the June long weekend due to an "absence of strong early-winter cold fronts".

"This could change in the second half of June, with a series of cold fronts about to deliver multiple rounds of cold air and snow to Australia's alpine region," Weatherzone said.

"The first upcoming cold front will dump snow across the Alps on Sunday before another trailing front delivers some follow-up snow on Monday.

"These two systems combined should bring around 20 to 40cm of snow by Tuesday next week."

A dry and cool spell should provide ideal conditions for artificial snow making next week.
