Unlike our northern hemisphere counterparts, an Aussie winter can mean many things: perfect Outback weather in the north, serene hinterland frosts on the coast, as well as some (surprisingly) epic ski slopes in Australia’s south. From June to October, the high country in New South Wales and Victoria dusts itself in white, inviting Aussies to dust off their ski gear and hit the slopes! 

The best part? Because every resort sits within a day’s drive of the main east-coast cities, it’s ridiculously easy to weave the snowfields into a winter road trip. Simply pick up a campervan hire in Sydney, Canberra or Melbourne, set your own travel itinerary, and roll into base towns like Jindabyne or Mansfield to base yourself while you hit the snow resorts in Australia. To help, we have put together a list of the top places to go skiing in Australia so you can choose the best Australia ski hills for your upcoming winter adventure!
