Selwyn Snow Resort is the small ski resort at the northern end of the Snowy Mountains, on Link Road in Kosciuszko National Park. We used Denison Campground as our base and drove up on a Saturday morning in early September 2025, with a stop at Three Mile Dam Campground on the way.

It was the end of the season, so the snow was patchy, but the lifts were turning and it wasn’t too busy. We had wanted to ski, but we decided to just have a coffee and come back another time, when we have more time spare to make the most of it.
About Selwyn Snow Resort
Selwyn is a compact resort: one main building at the top of the car park, with the slopes dropping away behind it. Inside are the shop and a large rental area with skis, poles and snow clothing, so you can turn up without any gear of your own. The Selwyn Centre serves food and drinks, and that’s where we had our coffee. The atmosphere is good and relaxed.
The slopes are gentle, and the resort also has a toboggan park with a 150 metre conveyor carpet and its own snowmaking. That makes it an easy place for a first day at the snow.

The Slopes and the Snow
From the building you look straight down over the slopes. In early September there were bare patches between the runs, but the main slopes were covered, a chairlift was running and snow guns stood along the edges. Skiers and snowboarders were spread across the hill, and it wasn’t too busy.
The season here is short and depends on the weather, so check the snow report and snow cams on the resort’s website before you make the drive.
Gear Hire and Facilities
The rental area is large and well organised, with rows of skis and poles and racks of jackets and pants. If you’re coming from a campground with no snow gear in the car, you can hire everything here. The resort says booking online is the cheapest way to buy your tickets and hire. Phone reception at the resort was OK, which you can’t say for most of the campgrounds around here.
Lift Passes and Prices
An adult 1 day lift pass starts from $134 when you book online, which can save up to 30% compared with buying at the resort. A youth day pass is $110, and child and senior day passes run from $40 to $90 depending on the age group and package. Season passes start from $699.
If you only want to play in the snow, toboggan and snow play packages start at around $26. Prices change from season to season, so check the Selwyn Snow Resort website before you go.
Getting There and Park Entry
From the Snowy Mountains Highway, take the Link Road turn-off, signposted to Mt Selwyn Snowfields. The road is sealed all the way to the resort’s car park. Three Mile Dam Campground is on the same road, 5 to 10 minutes before the resort.
Selwyn is inside Kosciuszko National Park, so park entry fees apply on Link Road in winter: $29 per car for 24 hours, and $12 for motorcycles. We paid the park fee at the meter outside the resort, and you can also pay with the Park’nPay app. That’s on top of your lift pass or toboggan ticket.
Walks and Trails
There’s more here than downhill skiing. Next to the resort, a sign marks the start of the Selwyn Trail, with a 9 km return cross-country ski trail, Four Mile Hut at 4.8 km, Nine Mile Diggings at 8.8 km and the Mt Tabletop summit at 12.2 km. The Goldseekers Track starts from its own car park on Link Road.
Summary
Selwyn Snow Resort is a small, easy resort with a good, relaxed atmosphere: gentle slopes, a toboggan park, and gear hire and food in one building. We only stopped for a coffee this time, and we’ll come back to ski when we have more time to make the most of it. Budget from $134 for an adult day pass, or about $26 for tobogganing, plus the $29 park entry, and check the snow report first, because the season is short. With Three Mile Dam and Denison campgrounds close by, it fits well into a camping trip to the Snowy Mountains.
A small, easy snow resort in the northern Snowy Mountains with a good, relaxed atmosphere, gentle slopes, a toboggan park and gear hire on site.

Recommended Gear for Selwyn Snow Resort
If you’re camping nearby, warm sleeping gear matters most, because the nights are cold up here. For the day at the snow, pack water from your water container and some coffee gear for the car park, and a couple of camping chairs for a break between runs.
