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/

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

  • We love the village atmosphere of Thredbo

  • 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."

charlotte pass ski resort

Where is Charlotte Pass?

The only way to get to Charlotte Pass in winter is by snow cat! Make sure you book ahead. More information here: http://www.charlottepass.com.au/oversnow.html

Charlotte Pass

Here's why we love Charlotte Pass!

  • Intimate resort feel – Charlotte Pass is such a beautiful place to stay. It’s a bit harder to get to which usually means no crowds

  • Over snow transport – The ride to Charlotte Pass is half the fun. The only way to get there in winter is by snow cat. Remember to book ahead!

  • Great price – Day tickets are cheaper than the big 2 which is great for families. You do need to be organised if you are only going for a day though. We recommend you stay a couple of nights and get the full snow experience.

  • Gentle slopes for everyone to enjoy.

Selwyn Snowfeilds

Here's why we love Selwyn!

  • Fantastic value! Mt Selwyn is great value for families.

  • Perfect resort to learn to ski or snowboard as there is enough variety in the terrain for you to progress from beginner to intermediate. Gentle slopes to start out and more challenging runs as you improve.

  • Great for tobogganing and snow tubing.
