A warm autumn day with temperatures in the low to mid-20s gave way to a cold change late yesterday with snow falling on Alpine peaks.
The most snow recorded was at Mt Buller, with the resort saying it had a cover of up to 3cm of snow on this morning.
Weather bureau forecaster Scott Williams said the actual amount of snow that fell would have been more than that, but ground temperatures were still warm from record high temperatures in April and most snow quickly melted.
Snow also fell at Falls Creek and Mt Baw Baw with Mt Hotham getting a small amount.
The 2010 ski season starts on Saturday, June 12.
