RECORD snowfalls in Victoria's alps have set the scene for some magnificent spring skiing.

In Victoria's largest ski resort, Falls Creek, 54cm of snow has fallen in the past 24 hours, taking accumulated snowfall to 226cm this month - the best since 1992.

"The resort's natural snow depth is now a whopping 177cm," says resort spokesman Ian Talbot.

"This is now the deepest snow cover of any Victorian alpine resort and powderhounds are going to be relishing the most amazing late winter snow conditions in nearly two decades."

Mt Hotham received 47cm of fresh snow overnight - the most since 2003.

It has received a total of 202cm of snowfall to date this month - the best August since 1992.

A Hotham spokeswoman says another 30cm is due to fall on the weekend.

Mt Buller, the closest resort to Melbourne, received 34cm of snow in the past 24 hours and have already dubbed it "Awesome August".
