The Hills Are Alive with the Sound of Schussing

Some of the best snowfalls in the Snowy Mountains and the Victorian Alps this season have been turning the New South Wales and Victorian winter wonderland (and Tasmania's, too) into hills filled with the sound of slaloms, schussing and snowboarding. The past several days have produced some of the best snowfalls of the winter and ski resort operators say it is not only the quantity of snow that has been falling, but the quality of it: really dry, powdery snow.
