The popular resorts of Thredbo and Perisher are within easy reach of Famski, offering skiing and snowboarding for all abilities. Lifts open on the June long weekend and the snow season is at its peak in July and August, though you’re likely to have good snow until October, when the lifts close. Friends and family of Famski members can request a booking during the winter season, however, priority is generally provided to Famski members.
If you’re driving, plan ahead and bring snow chains, as it’s a legal requirement to carry these in 2WD vehicles in Kosciuszko National Park between June and October. All visitors are required to pay fees on arrival at the park entrances.
Ski clothes and equipment can be hired at the resorts, as well as from nearby towns, such as Jindabyne and Cooma. Wearing helmets while skiing and snowboarding is compulsory for kids and recommended for all.
