Well, there's a Great Dividing Range here in Australia ... the range of mountain just west of the east coast from top to bottom in Australia ... I live at the south end of that.
And there's the Continental Divide of North America ... basically the Rocky Mountains ... and I used to live right next to that in Alberta.
Down here in Australia you'd probably want to be in the Melbourne area by mid-May to avoid the snow. Not long after that ski season starts.
