"There will be winners and losers at the MCG this afternoon but it is all smiles up at Mt Buller and whether your team comes out on top today it will certainly be a magic Mad Monday on the slopes with half a metre of fresh snow to enjoy up here," said Laurie Blampied.

The 45cm fall in the past 24 hours is the most snow to fall in one day at Mt Buller since July 1987. "It's a record snowfall and an amazing amount of snow to see this late in the year, " said Blampied.
