Australia's ski season could be at risk as unusually warm winter conditions threaten to delay the traditional June open date.
Australia's usually fluffy ski slopes are seeing a severe lack of snow just days before the country's biggest ski resorts are set to open on June 10.
Skiiers were blessed with an early snowfall last year, with significant amounts of snow falling on June 4.
This year the difference is plain as day.
Not a single snowflake can be seen in these live cam shots of the Selwyn slopes in New South Wales.
Selwyn will be opening for the first time since the Black Summer fires in 2019 destroyed its infrastructure - if it sees enough snowfall.
These snow cam pictures taken twice a day shows how unsuitable the slopes are for ski season.
The famous Perisher slopes in New South Wales haven't had much luck either, with only light and patchy snowfall.
Less than 10cm of snow is expected to fall in Perisha over the next 12 days, with temperatures hitting as high as 8 degrees.
"In the last few years, we've seen varied early season conditions globally," Spokesperson for Snow Season Central Edwyn Raine said.
"Unfortunately, this is just a sign of the times and we can only hope more snow is around the corner!"
Thredbo, New South Wales has also seen a lack of snowfall.
The five-day forecast shows very small amounts of snow, with temperates hitting as high as 9 degrees.
Rain is also expected to hit the slopes on Wednesday and Thursday, which could melt the snow that has already fallen on the ski resort.
Falls Creek, in Victoria, has seen small amounts of snow, however, upcoming weather forecasts have left snowsports enthusiasts "worried."
Warmer winter conditions forecasted for June, July and August mean Victoria's ski slopes may not be ready for the start of ski season.
"While some areas of the mountain would not expect to be snow-covered at this stage of the season, there is a general lack of snow in all parts of the resorts," Snow Season Central said in a release.
Ski resorts in Mt Buller, Victoria are also concerned that rain forecasted for the middle of the week will melt away the already small amount of snow that has been complied.
Mid-mountain temperature is expected to be as high as 8 degrees this week.
Light snow is expected for the following week, with temperatures reaching 5 degrees by Friday, June 16.
While Australia's snow season is off to a rough start, snowsport enthusiasts looking for other options can find plenty of snow-covered slopes in New Zealand.
Cardrona Alpine Resort in New Zealand is ready for the start of ski season.
Large amounts of snowfall have not been forecasted for resorts on the South Island for the near future but temperates will remain cold without rainfall in the next few days.
