becky 0 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 I'm new here, this may have been covered before - if so sorry, couldn't see it - but anyone here with experience of resorts down under. I'm thinking of going down there, wondering if there was any first hand advice any one can give? Many thanks, cool site, good to find it all. Becky Link to post Share on other sites
Lama 0 Posted May 25, 2002 Share Posted May 25, 2002 Well i would have to pick Thredbo (nsw. Australia) As my favorite. the resort would be considered a world class one if it got more than the average 2m of snowfall a year. the terrain is definately awesome and is a wicked resort after a biiig dump (only happens once a season on average). but it is also one to leave till later in the season (aug. early sept.) when the coverage is there and you dont have to worry about troweling your shiny deck!!

Snowhaus 0 Posted May 28, 2002 Share Posted May 28, 2002 Becky, Try ski.com.au. You'll find heaps of information there - just dont post any threads asking which is the best resort - its been done to death. Check the archives, or wander through the snow talk forum. For my two cents worth... Hotham for steeps, Perisher for maximum terrain. Thredbo for village atmosphere (sometimes dodgy snow coverage though). Link to post Share on other sites

Raury 0 Posted June 4, 2002 Share Posted June 4, 2002 As snowhaus said, check ski.com.au. They have webcams at all the major resorts, plus accomodation guides Another good site is snow.net.au. Run by a young guy called Ben. If you post the question tho', you will end up with an all in fight. Everyone has their favourite resort (mine is Falls Creek). I guess you would get that if I asked what the best resort in .jp was. Most of the resorts have their own websites. For a heap of info on Falls Creek, look at Aussie Ski Bums website If you are intending to come down, let us know and I am sure some-one willl gladly hook up with you for some snow.
