#Snowfields

TBT! TBT! TBT!

A few weeks after our trip to Stans (see previous ThrowbackThursday post) we've been to Galtür for three days and left just one day before the southern peak of Fluchthorn mountain collapsed in a huge rock slide.

In the foreground, the Vermuntbach flows through Galtür with clear, bubbling water over smooth, moss-covered stones. There are field roads following the river on both sides. In the background, the majestic Ballunspitze rises, its rugged cliffs and green slopes creating a striking contrast to the gentle movement of the water. Snow can be seen in the upper part of the mountain. The sky is a clear blue, dotted with a few grey clouds.The image captures the stunning Stausee Kops, an alpine reservoir renowned for its striking turquoise hue. On the right hand side a part of its retaining wall can be seen. The lake is surrounded by majestic mountains, some of which are partially blanketed in snow. The clear blue sky is adorned with scattered white clouds, enhancing the vibrant colors of the landscape. In the foreground, a rocky shoreline frames the lake. A tire and some wood debris can be seen along the shore, adding a touch of rustic charm to this picturesque setting.Picturesque view of Galtür nestled in a lush green valley. Surrounded by towering mountains, some capped with snow, the village features various buildings with colorful rooftops. A prominent church with a red steeple stands out among the structures. The sky is bright blue with a few fluffy clouds.I stand amidst leftovers of a snow field. My right leg sinks into the snow so only half of it can be seen. I smile cheerfully.

Hi Jen! Good question!!

Generally Australia does not experience wide spread #snow falls during #winter but we do have what’s knows as our #HighCountry in the State of Victoria.

We do have #snowfields, good skiing in general. Most of Victoria's alpine resorts lie to the north-east of Melbourne. Anywhere from say 2 to 4.5 hrs drive from our capital city Melbs.

These are a few of Victoria’s snowfields: #LakeMountain, #MtBawBaw, #MtBuller and #MtStirling, #MtHotham and #FallsCreek.

These👇are stock photos (source: visitvictoria.com/see-and-do/o and various), and #snow will start dumping early next month im guessing.

#newsouthwales has awesome snowfields. The largest ski resort in the #SouthernHemisphere is #Perisher. It has 47 lifts, plenty of runs, five terrain parks and around 100km of cross country trails. In #Thredbo you can ski Australia’s longest runs.

The Australian State of a #Tasmania, the island located to the south of Victoria, experiences flurries and snow falls throughout winter too. It’s closer to the #SouthPole. #Tassie is a gorgeous part of our country. 👏👍

PS I’m sure I’ve left out a load of other locations.

Pink snow is red flag for West’s water (Pink alert for Western #snowpack)
Chlamydomonas nivalis, a red-pigmented green #algae found in high alpine and polar regions around globe, #glacierblood, could play a major role in melting #glaciers and #snowfields.
