Holiday Check List!
Alpine weather is unpredictable and conditions can change quickly. Wear your clothing in layers with insulating clothes on the inside and wind and waterproof clothing on the outer. Several thin layers made of wool or synthetic fibres have insulating properties and are better than thick bulky layers. Never wear jeans, cotton or nylon as these materials will not provide enough protection. Body heat is lost from the head, feet and hands so it is important to wear beanies, warm long thin woollen socks and waterproof gloves. To protect your skin and eyes, do not forget sunscreen, sunglasses and goggles. Don't forget to pack comfortable, waterproof footwear that will offer good grip on slippery conditions.
Quality waterproof outer jackets and pants may be hired however due to health regulations in most cases you will need to purchase gloves and beanies.
Check out the conditions before you start!
It is important you check snow and weather conditions before you set out for the day. Up to date snow weather and grooming reports are updated daily here at Absolute Alpine. Snow reports are broadcast regularly on 97.7 Snow FM Cooma, FM94.7 Jindabyne, FM101.9 Perisher, FM88.0 Raw FM Perisher, FM87.6 Raw FM Jindabyne.
Q&A’s
When is the best time to take my holiday?
The official opening of the winter snow season is the June Long Weekend and the season official closing snow season is the October Long Weekend. Sometimes these can be extended to include the school holiday periods with conditions permitting.
So....will there be snow?
Well, to put it simply, Mother Nature is fickle. It's hard to tell when she's going to deliver in the snow department, for how long and where. Add plenty of other weather factors that can affect the snow once it's fallen into the mix and great snow conditions are not always a guarantee. Snowmaking is the saviour of all Australian Ski Resorts. The snowmaking systems within all resorts here in Australia assist with natural falls and without it we would not have the consistent conditions we have today.
Do I need a lesson?
Having a lesson will ensure that your first skiing or boarding experience is safe and enjoyable. First Timer Lift Tickets include your Lift Ticket and a Daily Lesson program tailored to the needs of those who have never been skiing or boarding before. Some resorts will offer a free first timer lesson. Check out the resort information pages for details.
We just want to play in the snow.....where should we go?
One of the traditional childhood delights of the snowfields is tobogganing. It’s an affordable addition to your skiing and boarding holiday that’s great fun for kids and parents alike. The snowfields have dedicated areas for just this. See our Resort Information pages on Perisher & Selwyn Snow Fields for activities and snow safe areas available.
