Mt Selwyn in New South Wales is a favorite ski resort for beginners and many school groups come here to have their first skiing experience. There is no accommodation on the snow so you have to stay 15 minutes or more from the slopes in nearby towns and drive in each day. The nearest accommodation is at Providence Portal on Lake Eucumbene, Old Adaminaby, Anglers Reach and Adaminaby, where you can find cabins, lodges and houses that are fully equipped with everything you will need for a comfortable and enjoyable holiday in the snow. Every property is self contained as well as having the necessity of central heating for warmth on those cold winter nights, and if you are lucky enough you might even have the added bonus of a nice open log fire to curl up around. Within each town you can find cafes, restaurants, shops, post office, medical centre, supermarkets and retail outlets for anything that you may need or if you just feel like treating yourself and dining out for the night.
The kids are completely taken care of with a number of great programs for them to join in on. From the Bouncing Bogong Jumping Castle to the Junior Riders and Sliders program, that will just have so much fun, and perhaps give you a well deserved break. The staff at Mount Selwyn also run a Mega Mite Lesson where kindergarten aged children (ages 5-6) learn the basic skills that they need to get started for the first time at skiing.
Mount Selwyn also has great family activities for the whole family, such a snow tubing park and Toboggan Park where you can slip and slide down the slopes and have fun all day long. Not only fun for the kids, but the big kids love it as well.
