Accommodation

Suitable school group accommodation close to the snow usually books out quickly when new dates are released.

Multi-day Ski Trip

Typically designed for high school groups, a multi-day snow trip encompasses two or more days of skiing or snowboarding at Thredbo or Perisher ski resort, based at accommodation within about an hour from your chosen ski resort.

This structure facilitates a progressive learning experience, enabling participants to advance from basic skills to navigating beginner ski runs.

Ski trips include hire of all snow clothing and ski or snowboard equipment, with the exception of goggles and waterproof gloves, which are not available to hire due to hygiene reasons.

Day Experience

Easily integrated within your Canberra itinerary, a snow play experience is a favoured choice for both primary and high schools.

A basic “snow-play” package comprises snow clothing rental and free time for building snowmen, engaging in snowball fights, creating ‘snow angels,’ and capturing memorable photos.

Snow play is only available at Corin Forest and Selwyn Resort.

An introductory ski experience is also available at Corin Forest, Thredbo or Selwyn.
