Snowboarding and Skiing in Australia

It’s often a surprise to many that not only is it possible to ski in Australia, but the skiing can be very good. And that at least for those on the Eastern seaboard, winter is looked upon with some fondness not only for the relief it brings from the summer heat but also for the expensive adventures that lay in wait in the Snowy Mountains. The Australian snowfields have always held some magic for me- the cold, dry chimney-smoke winter air of the mountains and the anticipation of white-knuckle adventure.
