Australia in July

July in Australia is one of the best months for skiing and other snow activities.

You can ski in New South Wales in the Snowy Mountains, Victoria in the state's Alpine regions, and Tasmania in some of its high-altitude national parks.

The Australian ski season, which by tradition started on the Queen's Birthday holiday weekend in June, ends on the Labor Day weekend in October. Depending on snow conditions, ski resort operations may end earlier or later than October.

In the New South Wales Blue Mountains — because Christmas occurs in the Australian summer — the Winter Yulefest celebrates Christmas in July.
