FRESH snowfalls are expected to continue at Mt Hotham and Falls Creek alpine resorts for the remainder of this week and into next week, further enhancing the snow experience for visitors during the school holidays.

More than 40cms of natural snow since the weekend, combined with conditions allowing non-stop snowmaking, saw Falls Creek's average snow depth in the village bowl break the one metre mark earlier this week, with a majority of the resort's lifts operating, and most of the skiable terrain and cross country trails open to the public.

At Hotham the average snow depth on Tuesday morning was 82cms and building, with a majority of the lifts running, and ski runs and trails open.

The Bureau of Meteorology is forecasting further snow at both resorts, with maximum temperatures struggling to rise above freezing for the remainder of the week.

Visitors to Falls Creek and Mt Hotham alpine resorts are reminded that all vehicles must carry chains.

Guests planning a trip are encouraged to plan early and buy lift tickets, lessons and rentals online.

Mt Buffalo is also blanketed in snow, with people able to enjoy tobogganing, snow play and cross country skiing.
