Following the destructions of the 2019/2020 bushfires, Selwyn Snow Resort is rebuilding for opening for the 2022 Snow Season. The new resort with not only feature a full upgrade of the new Chum Chairlift reopening the access to the skiable terrain but a whole new snow experience. They have relocated and extended the Toboggan Park, and brand new ‘Winter Wonderland’ the first of its kind in Australia with a range of exciting snow play products including skating rink with bumper cards, kids snow mobiles, tubing carousel and minute enchanted village. 

One of the most important factors that will make your snow holiday an amazing experience is your equipment. Don’t fear it will not cost a fortune as you can hire nearly everything you need from clothing, to boots, skis, boards and poles. Jindabyne has a number of very professional ski hires offering the latest equipment at very reasonable prices. It is better to hire equipment locally, sometimes you may need to change your equipment or need some adjustments. If you have hired your equipment from a ski shop at home for example, you may be stuck with some very painful boots and be unable to change them for a better fitting set. Just let the ski hire know what level skier you are be it a complete first timer or GS pro and in no time at all they will have fitted you out and ready to hit the slopes with confidence. If you own your own equipment or have borrowed some from a friend don’t forget to have them checked by a ski technician to make sure everything is set correctly and working properly. Remember good quality sunglasses, goggles and sun cream are essentials. The sun, here burns 3 times stronger than at the beach. Even if the sky is overcast the sun’s rays will burn don’t forget to slip slop slap as if you were at the beach.

Guests of Accommodation Jindabyne receive a discount at The Base Ski Hire where you collect your keys.

Hire snowshoes from a local ski hire shop for a modest price and head up to Smiggin Holes, Perisher, or top of Thredbo. Take lunch in backpacks, ski poles (good to have but not mandatory) and wear a pair of waterproof walking boots. Strap on your snowshoes and off you go! So easy! Simply walking on the thick carpet of fresh snow no slipping or sliding because of the metal teeth on the snowshoes. And of course, you don't sink in. You'll be alone in this scenic wonderland. In Perisher, travel around the dedicated snowshoe track. Or maybe beyond Thredbo to Dead Horse Gap or the Ramsheads.

If new to the sport, you can book a tour with Snowy Mountains Back Country https://www.snowymountainsbackcountry.com.au/snow-shoeing

Disabled WinterSport Australia is a multi-faceted, self-help sporting organisation founded in 1978 by Australia's first Paralympic skier Ron Finneran and Canadian instructor Bruce Abel. The purpose of DWA is to provide opportunities for people with disabilities to enjoy winter sports and, equally importantly, to enjoy the magnificent environment that is Australia's Snowy Mountains with fellow skiers. Once considered the domain of the young and agile, skiing in Australia in 1974 was about to experience the introduction of an aspect of the sport which, until then, was considered virtually impossible - skiing for the disabled. Members of DWA receive concessions on lift passes and private lessons at all ski resorts in Australia as well as access to an extensive range of adaptive ski equipment that enables skiing, regardless of strength or ability. DWA members range from recreational skiers to Australia's Winter Paralympians. Without the generous support of our sponsors and in particular the resorts throughout Australia, the Australian Sports Commission and the Australian Paralympic Committee, the services and facilities currently available would come under severe threat. To complement their commitment we seek your support in the form of donor sponsor, associate member or by becoming an active ski guide able to provide invaluable "hands on" support. Winter sport for Australians with a disability is now no longer a dream. Thousands of disabled Australians regularly visit our snowfields, irrespective of disability, to enjoy winter sport in its many and varied forms. For more information contact DWA on (02) 6495 4334.
