We asked Australia’s best snow photographers to submit their top five shots of the season.
Already lamenting the end of the Australian ski and snowboard season? Wait till you see these images from the country’s best snow photographers who were on hand for every snow storm.
Each of these five photographers from different resorts submitted their five favourite published images this winter. The result is quite simply snow porn at it’s best, the kind of image galleries that will have you weeping for the loss of winter.

Charlie has spent a quarter of a century snapping his shutter at Victoria’s three major resorts and the last fourteen at Falls Creek. This winter he shot at Hotham posting regularly on his Mountainside photo blog
