Australian ski resorts are well renowned for having quality facilities and accommodation, with a wide variety of terrain to suit skiers and snowboarders of all levels. Whilst the mountain ranges in Australia do not have the lofty heights found on other continents, they still have plenty on offer in terms of steep terrain, long runs and snowfalls. Snow coverage in Australia is usually the best in August, however with state of the art snowmaking facilities the rest of the season from the Queen’s Birthday opening weekend to the October Long Weekend, there's still great skiing on.

Australia has 5 major ski resorts in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales and Victoria. Each resort offers a range of accommodation, from ski in ski out lodges and apartments to 5 star hotels. Each resort has its own unique village atmosphere. Activities and nightlife cater to family ski holidays, fun ski trips with friends or a romantic weekend in the snow. If you're looking for cheaper alternatives, try off snow accommodation in the town of Jindabyne, just 30 minutes from the resorts of Thredbo or Perisher, and an easy drive each morning.
