23.01.2022 Mt Buller is pleased to confirm continued lift operations beyond 12 July ensuring access to the ski area and lessons on an appropriate scale for as long as cond...itions permit. This decision has been reached with the well-being and livelihoods of our employees, the community and our guests in mind. Remaining open is not an easy decision however we believe it is in the best interests of our community and regional Victorians. Health and safety remains paramount as we carefully move forward in accordance with public health guidelines for the alpine industry to support our regional economy and the skiers and snowboarders of Victoria.

21.01.2022 BREAKING NEWS! Statement from Hotham and Falls Creek. Due to the Stage 3 COVID-19 restrictions for the state of Victoria and the border closure with NSW, we... have made the difficult decision to suspend lift operations at Hotham and Falls Creek, effective Thursday, 9 July through at least 19 August. We recognise the impact this has on our guests, employees and communities and did not make this decision lightly. However, we are focused first and foremost on health and safety, following local health guidelines and doing our part to support efforts across Victoria to address the recent rise in coronavirus cases. We will continue to assess the situation, follow the guidelines of the state health authorities in evaluating if it is advisable or feasible to reopen either resort this season. Perisher remains open and is unaffected by this decision. All lift ticket, lesson and rental reservations at Hotham and Falls Creek will be refunded with no requirement for guests to contact us. Thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to navigate through this incredibly challenging time.

12.01.2022 STATEMENT FROM Charlotte Pass Snow Resort. CHARLOTTE PASS SNOW RESORT ANNOUNCES GUTHRIES CHAIRLIFT Charlotte Pass Snow Resort has today signed a contract with D...oppelmayr Australia for the purchase and installation of a chairlift to Mt Guthrie at Charlotte Pass. The chairlift will replace the existing Guthries High Speed Poma, increasing lifting capacity to this area of the resort by more than 100%. Charlotte Pass has had lifts in the Mt Guthrie area of the resort for close on 60 years. Kevin Blyton, Chairman of Charlotte Pass Snow Resort said This chairlift represents a significant investment by the Blyton Group and is another key component of our 10-year Masterplan which is currently underway. I am very pleased that the contract has gone to a local Snowy Mountains company, just like us. Lachlan Maclean, General Manager of Charlotte Pass Snow Resort said, the chairlift to Mt. Guthrie is an exciting development for the resort, with the area providing some of the best skiing and boarding in the Snowy Mountains, as well as spectacular views of the Main Range. Shaun Turner, General Manager of Doppelmayr Australia said Im pleased that Doppelmayr has been awarded the contract and look forward to working with the Charlotte Pass team to install this chair at Australias highest snow resort. Work will now commence on the relevant regulatory approvals, with the lift anticipated to be operational for the 2022 snow season.

11.01.2022 Due to the continued COVID-19 health crisis and the introduction of new restrictions by the Victorian Government, we have made the decision to not reopen our li...ft operations at Falls Creek for Spring skiing and snowboarding. On 9 July, we made the decision to suspend operations at Falls Creek in support of the efforts by public health officials to address the growing challenge of COVID-19 in the region, and out of concern for the health and safety of our employees, guests and community. It was a difficult decision which has unfortunately been reinforced by the worsening COVID-19 trends and the declaration of a State of Disaster in Victoria until 13 September. We are disappointed to mark the end of the season this way and extend our gratitude to our employees and the businesses in our communities who worked so hard to open this winter. To our loyal guests: Thank you for your patience and understanding during these challenging times. We look forward to welcoming you back to our resorts for the 2021 season.

06.01.2022 NSW Police are urging the community to have a plan and stay Snow Safe as the 2020 ski season commences next week. The official NSW snow season begins next Mon...day (22 June 2020), with ski resorts opening throughout the week and enacting their COVIDsafe plans. Additional police will be deployed to the Snowy Mountains region from across the state as part of the high-visibility police operation. Visitors can expect to see officers from General Duties, Traffic and Highway Patrol Command, Southern Region Enforcement Squad, licensing police and other specialist officers including trained Alpine Operators throughout the season. Regional NSW Field Operations, Deputy Commissioner Gary Worboys APM, said visitors to the area can expect to see a different kind of snow season in 2020. The population of our snowfields and surrounding towns increases exponentially during winter, and for local police, community safety is always the number one priority, Deputy Commissioner Worboys said. This year we have the added complexities of COVID-19, and we are working closely with the ski resorts and our partner agencies to ensure the safety of the community. Police will continue to patrol these areas to ensure compliance and we ask the public to continue to adhere to restrictions and ensure they observe physical distancing guidelines. Southern Region Commander, Acting Assistant Commissioner Greg Moore APM, said police will be out in force to ensure the safety of the community. People can expect to see police out and about throughout the season targeting road safety, alcohol-related crime, anti-social behaviour and personal safety, Acting Assistant Commissioner Moore said. We will have additional staff seconded to Jindabyne from other police districts who will support the work of our local police, and other units such as Highway Patrol, the Dog Squad and the Region Enforcement Squad. Our priority is to keep people safe on the slopes, roads, licensed venues and out and about in the alpine region. Snowfield conditions can be difficult to navigate so wed like to remind everyone to prioritise safety on your journey pay close attention to the roads, dont get distracted and slow down. NSW Police are also urging hikers visiting the region to ensure their personal safety by submitting a Trip Intention Form and hiring a Personal Locator Beacon (PLB) before heading out into the national park. Further information on driving in snowfield conditions can be found by visiting the Centre for Road Safety website: https://roadsafety.transport.nsw.gov.au/index.html Hikers can contact the Snowy Region Visitor Centre for more information or visit: http://www.nationalparks.nsw.gov.au or www.environment.nsw.gov.au.
