Australia's amazing ski resorts

You're planning a trip to the snow how exciting! We know this can be a little daunting at first but we're here to help you through all the ifs and buts. The ski field conditions can be very unpredictable so we suggest checking the weather and the snow cams before you jump in the car. Check snow cams here https://www.ski.com.au/ 

That being said, its always a good idea to pack some extra dry clothes and warm socks just incase! We've answered some of the most commonly asked questions about our ski resorts below but if there's something you're not sure about, pick up the phone and give us a call, we'd love to hear from you.

Thredbo

Here's why we love Thredbo!

• Thredbo is great for steeper longer runs

• Friday Flat – perfect space for first timers with a gentle slope and we love that it is a bit separate from the rest of the resort so first timers can learn in a safe and supportive environment

• Awesome terrain parks

• More foot rest on chairlifts and tissues in the lift lines!

• A great social night life with amazing bars, restaurants and live music

"MOUNTAIN FUN If you love snow but skiing and boarding aren’t your idea of fun, there are plenty of other activities to choose from.

This winter, Thredbo has expanded its Snow Play Park, near the base of Merritts Chairlift. This is the place to go if you’re keen to race your mates down a gentle slope on a toboggan or tube, build a snowman or simply get accustomed to the feeling of snow.

If you’re after something a tad more adventurous, consider signing up for a snowshoe tour. Thredbo offers great access to Kosciuszko National Park back country, via Kosciuszko Express chair. You’ll feel a world away as you leave the buzz of the resort and soak in views of untouched slopes and powdery peaks while breathing in mountain air and getting exercise at the same time."
