Just returned from Falls Creek, Victoria, where I finally got to experience real snow for the first time in my life :D
It was an absolutely amazing trip, full of fursuiting, snow, falling over, snow, learning to ski and SNOW! :3

Paskhowl!
I'm still collating photos from the trip, but there are some absolutely awesome shots to share. I'll be uploading them all to my Flickr account in due course. When i'm done (maybe in a couple of days time), you'll be able to find them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/inflatophin/sets/

Snow is over-rated. (I lived in Maryland which averages about 10 inches of snow a year, though in 1996 we got about 36 inches in one storm, 2003 we got 24 inches iin one storm, and 2009-10 we got a record 56 inches for the season. 22 inches in one storm in December 2009, and then 24 inches and 10 inches in back-to-back storms within four days of each other in February 2010)
You've gotta remember that most people in Australia (myself included up until a week ago) have never seen real snow before. Being up on a snow-covered mountain in the middle of nowhere is a completely alien experience for us. We're all used to flat landscapes, evergreen trees and warm weather. It's almost the equivalent of stepping onto the surface of the moon o.o
Sure, you're going to have a different reaction to snow if you see it every winter. I also imagine it's a lot less fun to live in than it is to visit on holiday ;P But hey, for me, it was an awesome new experience.

i would say with some suits, you should still wear a light jacket over, A) so you have layers,because even if a fursuit is warm, doesn't always guarantee that you will remain warm, the chair lift can be colder than the actual mountain. (also what if it stop, and all you have is the fursuit on, you will get chilled quicker.) there is that thing called wind chill.
B) with your coloration, you may blend into the snow land scape, from the back side at least.
C) a jacket would provide you with access to a phone.
just be careful.

We stayed together as a group and were never far away from other people. Even after 2.5 hours of quite windy weather on top of the mountain, none of us were feeling cold up there. The daytime temperatures were between 1-4 °C, so not exactly harsh conditions. (There's a reason why only a handful of places in Australia ever experience snow)
true true, but if you ever make a trip to the northeast and want to ski, wear your warmest clothes under your suit, and the jacket, because you will FREEZE, the wind alone can cause frost bite (sure the mask helps, but look at your arms, there is a lot of place for air to get up there.
