    The Overview

    Selwyn Snow Resort offers a family-focused alpine experience in the northern Snowy Mountains, making it ideal for beginners and young families. Following comprehensive rebuilding after the 2019-2020 bushfires, Selwyn reopened in 2022 with modern facilities while maintaining its approachable atmosphere. The resort features gentle, wide slopes perfect for learning, alongside dedicated toboggan areas and snow play zones. With affordable lift passes and lesson packages, Selwyn provides an excellent entry point to snow sports without overwhelming new participants. Its modest size fosters a friendly community feel where staff know regular visitors by name.

    The Terrain

    15 runs across 111 acres skiable

    Selwyn Resort is a small, family-oriented snow area in the northern part of Kosciuszko National Park, with around 45 hectares of terrain between 1,492 and 1,614 metres, a vertical of 122 metres. Its 15 runs are gentle by design: 40% beginner, 47% intermediate and 13% advanced, with no expert terrain. The mountain is low, short and wide, so it plays to learners and young children rather than speed-seekers. The shallow gradient also keeps things simple for parents following kids around, and the layout is easy to understand on a first visit, with no complicated connections to navigate.

    Chairs and surface lifts serve the slopes, and snowmaking helps keep the lower runs in condition. The longest descents are short and mellow, ideal for repeated laps and technique work. Two terrain parks offer a small freestyle introduction, and a dedicated tubing area gives non-skiers an alternative on the snow. Selwyn suits first-timers, families with young children and beginner to low-intermediate skiers who want a relaxed day. Advanced skiers will find the 13% advanced share limited and short, so they are better served by larger, steeper mountains nearby. Think of it as a place to learn.

    Getting to Selwyn Resort, and where to stay

    Selwyn Snow Resort is positioned within Kosciuszko National Park, approximately 45km from Adaminaby and 135km from Canberra. This places it closer to Sydney and Canberra than other Snowy Mountains resorts, making it accessible for weekend trips and day visits. The drive takes visitors through rolling high country landscapes with notable stops including the charming fishing town of Adaminaby. Sitting on the traditional lands of the Ngarigo people, the surrounding environment features snow gum woodlands and subalpine vegetation that creates distinctive scenery throughout changing seasons. The resort's elevation at 1,614 metres provides reliable winter conditions while remaining accessible via well-maintained roads.

    Sierra Nevada Halloween Storm: Dodge Ridge Forecast to Lead With 19 Inches

    Sierra Nevada Halloween Storm: Dodge Ridge Forecast to Lead With 19 Inches

    Halloween weekend brings a wet, windy storm to the Sierra Nevada. Our five-day forecast has Dodge Ridge on top with 19 in, followed by Bear Valley at 15 in and Mammoth Mountain at 12 in, with most of it landing on Saturday. A winter weather advisory covers the Tahoe Basin and Mono County until 7 AM Sunday, gusts could reach 47 mph and the freezing level swings between 4,900 and 8,700 ft, so some bases will see rain. A dry spell follows from Monday.

    Lake Louise Opens Early on 1 November With Juniper Express and Easy Street

    The Rockies get their first lift-served turns of the season early.

Opening-day tickets are over 60% off, with prices rising as more lifts open. First chair is at 9:30 am under the resort’s new lift hours.

    Kitzbüheler Horn Summit Cable Car to Be Replaced After 70 Years

    Kitzbüheler Horn Summit Cable Car to Be Replaced After 70 Years

    A Tyrolean summit lift that has been carrying guests up the Kitzbüheler Horn since 1955 is on borrowed time. Its licence runs to 2045, but a new inspection rule has made refurbishment uneconomic, so Bergbahn AG Kitzbühel will spend around €15 million on a replacement on the same line. It should hold roughly 100 people and keep running in winds that would stop today’s lift. Building starts in autumn 2027, which makes this winter and next summer the last chances to ride the old one.

    Wolf Creek Opens on Halloween Weekend as Colorado’s Early Season Gathers Pace

    Colorado’s early-season dominoes keep falling. Arapahoe Basin opened on Wednesday, Keystone follows on Friday, and now Wolf Creek is joining in on Saturday 31 October, just in time for Halloween. A storm on 23 and 24 October left 20 inches of natural snow in the San Juans, and three lifts will turn from 9:00 am, covering about 30% of the mountain. Expect rocks, unmarked obstacles and open water, but also Local Appreciation lift tickets at $73 for adults.

    Beaver Creek Installs 16 Automated Snow Guns on Birds of Prey Ahead of Record World Cup

    Beaver Creek is getting ready for the biggest Birds of Prey ever, and this time it is not leaving the snow to chance. Crews started making snow on 27 October with 16 newly installed automated guns on the lower third of the course, after last December’s warm spell forced a downhill off the schedule. Seven races across two weekends run from 3 to 13 December, the most the course has hosted since its 1997 debut, and the guns start themselves whenever the weather allows.
