Australian Ski Wind Forecast

Wind closes Australian lifts more often than snowfall does. Every lift in the Alpine Intelligence database carries an exposure rating, so the forecast can tell you which lifts are at risk rather than just quoting a single mountain-wide number.

Readings below are current wind and gust at village elevation with the equivalent Beaufort force. Exposed summit chairs typically sit one to two forces above the village figure.
