VIC Resort for early snow

Newbie here planning to spend 2-3nights at a resort with the wifey, mainly to catch some snow and beginner's skiing.

Unfortunately next week is the only time this winter that we could conceivably take 3 days off work.

So, between Buller, Hotham and Falls; which would offer the best snow fall this early? I was looking at the forecast http://www.bom.gov.au/vic/forecasts/alpine.shtml and it appears that mid week would be sunny :(

Also heard that Buller could get fairly crowded, although I don't think that would be a problem at this time and during the weekdays?

Any recommendation or advice would be greatly appreciated. We're planning to catch a train/coach, and staying on the mountain for some sights and eating out. Cheers
