This hot pic of Aussie ski pro Tim Myers moving the powder at Perisher Blue was shot by image legend Tony Harrington for the resort last week. That's right people, LAST week.

After a dry June, July has delivered the snow goods for Australasian skiing. Which begs the question - is global warming really impacting the ski industry and what are they doing about it?

Something's working because what a week it's been in the Australasian ski fields. Fresh snow, blue skies, it's peaking in the New South Wales and Victorian resorts. Falls Creek has recorded 160cms of snowfall in July alone while New Zealand's Mt Hutt have had to dig their way out of the base lodge after a metre fell in 36 hours.

Global warming and climate change may be a serious issue but with pics like these is it another Y2K or is the ski industry on limited time?
