Skiing in New South Wales
SKIING IN NEW SOUTH WALES Located within Kosciuszko National Park in the Snowy Mountains, NSW’s four snow resorts – Perisher, Thredbo, Charlotte Pass and Selwyn Snow Resort – each has their own style and personality. The resorts have invested heavily in recent years to extend the Winter snow and make sure skiers and boarders have optimal conditions. All-inclusive deals that bundle accommodation with transport, lift passes and equipment hire are a great way to stretch your dollar. The season generally begins on the June long weekend (the second weekend of the month), with loads of fun events planned throughout the weekend. Now is the time to start planning your Winter holiday – all you have to do is decide where to go. PERISHER The largest ski resort in the southern hemisphere, Perisher covers more than 12 square kilometres across seven peaks and four distinct resort areas – Perisher Valley, Blue Cow, Smiggin Holes and Guthega. It’s great for all ages and abilities with more than 1,200 hectares of skiable terrain, hundreds of runs, 100km of cross country trails, 47 lifts, five terrain parks and two halfpipes. 240 Current as at 8 February 2019 snow cannons ensure there’s a coating of fresh powder for the whole season. The large resort village has lots of places to eat and drink, and other restaurants are spread across the mountains. Once the lifts have closed for the day, there are plenty of welcoming bars and clubs. Enjoy comedy night at the Sundeck Hotel or, for something more refined, you can ski to the piano bar at the Base 1720 Bar and Restaurant or Curve Bar.
