Selwyn Snowfields Small, personal and great value for money, Selwyn Snowfields is the perfect winter destination for family-oriented fun in the snow. Must see and do Take a ride on the longest snow tube park lift in NSW, squeal with delight and peel back the years. Visit Cabramurra, Australia’s highest township and home of the mighty Snowy Mountains Scheme. Slap on some cross-country skis or snow shoes and follow the crosscountry trails to the top of Mt Selwyn, where the views are spectacular. Take the self-guided walk through the historic gold-mining town of Kiandra, the birthplace of Australian skiing. Photographs above left to right: Snowboarding lesson; Snowtubing; Selwyn Snowfields For families If you prefer your ski resort small, friendly and family oriented, Selwyn Snowfields is ideal. For anyone new to snow sports, or if you’re developing your skills as a skier or boarder, this is one of the best places to start. Selwyn is the best-value winter playground in the country, with lift tickets about two-thirds the price you’ll pay at the bigger resorts. And you’ll find that the caring mountain staff take the resort’s motto, ‘Friendly Family Fun’, to heart, ensuring your family has a safe and fun holiday. Just drive in Selwyn Snowfields rates fun as a high priority and everything about the resort is designed to make snow play easy. Selwyn is located in the northern section of Kosciuszko National Park, just west of Kiandra and about one hour’s drive from Tumut or Cooma. If you ‘re travelling from Sydney, head to Canberra and continue south, taking the Snowy Mountains Highway turnoff to Adaminaby. Selwyn Snowfields is ‘drive-in’ snow sport at its best. The car park is located only a snowball’s throw from the ski slopes, as are all the facilities, where you can find everything you need for a fun-filled, action-packed day on the snow – lift ticket sales, ski and equipment hire and a food outlet. It’s snow time At Selwyn it’s not just about skiing and snowboarding. Although there are plenty of well groomed ski runs for people snapping on skis for the first time, here your snow action can take many forms. Selwyn has one of the few toboggan parks left in Australia, and you’ll get a real buzz from snow tubing at Wombat and Snowflake snow tube parks. For children aged 18 months to 6 years, there’s Selwyn Snow World, where children can develop their skills and learn to have fun in the snow in an environment where they can feel comfortable, safe and secure. Snow step-by-step Wherever you are on the skills ladder, you’ll get a good run at Selwyn. About 40% of the resort’s runs carry the green ‘beginner’ rating, another 48% are intermediate blue runs and only 12% have a black rating. At the MILO Snow Sports School, Selwyn’s team of highly skilled instructors will show you how much fun learning to ski or snowboard can be. Group and private lessons are available daily for everyone from 3 years up. If your kids are aged 7 or under, they’ll love the specially designed program that includes riding on Gentle Annie, the moving carpet lift. You can also let the kids go wild in Selwyn’s Bouncing Bogong Jumping Castle, or give them a spin on a toboggan. And Selwyn is kind to your credit rating, with a range of affordable ski packages, including the Give It A Go Package, Mega Mites and Lift and Lesson Packages. 32 Snowy Mountains NSW
