Selwyn Snowfields call themselves as "Your Winter Playground". The resort goes a long way towards exactly that with a family orientation. Selwyn boasts of undoubtedly good value with lift tickets cheaper than the major resorts. Here you may enjoy a definite family feel and unless you are an extreme skier/boarder you just can't help but feel right at home here. The resort offers the best beginners skiing in NSW with a wide range of beginners/early intermediate slopes to choose from.
Selwyn Snowfields offer the complete snow experience for first timers with the downhill skiing being complemented by a wide range of cross country trails, snowplay areas and even dedicated toboggan run & tubing park - with their own lifts! The key disadvantage for Selwyn is that there is no on snow accommodation so you have to stay 30 minutes or more from the slopes and drive in each day. For an advanced skier Selwyn will be a bit light on challenging terrain, the black runs would be marked blue anywhere else, but even at the intermediate level Selwyn offers enough variety to keep you happy for a day or two.
Selwyn Snowfields invested in snowmaking which has made the cover a lot more reliable. And now over 80% of the resort is covered by snowmaking. Selwyn may open on low snow levels and you should expect them to operate most of the resort for the nearly the whole season.
