Dogger,
Hard as this may be to believe, I have only seen snow a couple of times in my life. Once was in Europe as a baby, which I was too young to remember, and the other time was as a child in the US.
In Adelaide, South Australia, where I'm from, it never snows. We do have ski fields about four hours drive from where I live now in Melbourne, but I've never been.
The ski season is only six weeks or so long. In summer it's bloody hot up there (although today was the coldest and wettest February day on record. It only got to 12.9C, which is winter weather).
Cheers,
Oliver
