Top 5 Skiing Destinations in Australia | 2023

[@andriyvasilchenko3783]

Nice. I didn't know that Australia have ski resorts. it remains to look at the prices.

[@Just_another_Euro_dude]

So wild, and somehow beautiful to see this side of Australia instead of the typical one. 😮

[@CustomcrowdMitroc]

as an australian all i can say is its cheaper to fly over seas to go other countrys ski resorts that have better snow and trails than it is to go to our ski fields for a single weekend

[@PDP-v5u]

go to japan

[@smiileylalaa]

dude , i just done new Zealand this season and i saved more then 45% of actually boarding in nsw ! fucking ridiculous how they just inflate prices here kinda annoying because perisher and thredbo are fun as

[@laowai2000]

Skiing in China costs me Aus$150 a day including accomodation (buffet breakie included), lift tickets and equipment for a family of three. Quite new resort also.

[@Zroolmpf_Celmbror]

​@laowai2000 yeah but it's in China, and China sucks

[@carlanthonyholmes2162]

Which resort?@@laowai2000

[@EllieFlores-Collings]

As a Skier and snowboarder from Australia falls creek and Perisher are the top resorts that I’ve been to.

[@fred_sturgess]

so Vail resorts plus Thredbo and Mt Buller

[@mattansaar5964]

OMG another great video, thank u so much❤ can u pleas make a video on the top 20 best ski resorts in USA?

[@mountain_sight]

Thank you for your support. Appreciate it! There will come a video about best ski resorts in USA, but you'll have to wait a few a bit. What other type of videos do you like?

[@Isaacying]

​@@mountain_sight Naturally, the top ski resorts in NZ. 😏

[@mountain_sight]

It's in the making - lots of good resorts in NZ!

[@astoelly]

Australia is amazing, especially the backcountry. I ski at Thredbo, and it is much steeper than Perisher with longer runs as well.

[@mountain_sight]

Agree! What’s your favourite ski resort in Australia?

[@astoelly]

@@mountain_sight Thredbo for sure. The on-moutain dining and the village liveliness just make it a beautiful place to ski at.

[@jimbosaul3996]

@@astoelly its more compact & cute in the village for sure and the most European looking we have. one of the biggest downfalls of Perisher is the non village like atmosphere and the distance between venues in the sparsely laid out 'village'

[@astoelly]

@@jimbosaul3996 Yeah. Because Perisher is owned by Vail, the atmosphere just isn't the same.

[@astoelly]

@Justified350 Lapping all the t-bars all day is a very fun way to get runs in.

[@conradgray7545]

Mt Baw Baw is actually the closest lift access ski resort to Melbourne, I have only been to Perisher and love Blue Cow and Guthega. Going to Falls creek this year and Mt Hutt in NZ

[@mountain_sight]

Plenty of good resorts down under. Enjoy your trips!

[@SkiMachineAlpineEngineering]

Thredbo is a nice place but it might be time to visit some other resorts. Nice video.

[@DosAussieThai]

Which run at Buller is 3km?

[@topdeckdog]

1:08 WHERE THE F*CK IS THAT?!! 🤣

[@lp5398]

I thought the same I didnt know australia had pine trees

[@suej9329]

Looks like North America.

[@Jontyyyyyy101]

the video was really cool thanks. Also I was wondering where do you get all of the footage from because it is pretty high quality?

[@suej9329]

Not all of the footage here is Australian. Australia has gum trees not pine and some of the peaks shown were too high, obviously European.

[@Jontyyyyyy101]

@@suej9329 thanks

[@tommm.1538]

Theres more resorts than this in aus, perisher is 100% king with 50 plus lifts and a half pipe and countless parks and on the cusp of the biggest mt in aus (great for backcountry) and its the biggest resort in the southern hemisphere. Thredbo is pretty good to but its more of a rich mans/family resort. Hotham is prob the best in vic but theres other resorts in vic which are fun. Charlottes pass is good for higher country riding to and if you want it really cold go to Tasmania. There's also a learner hill in Canberra and an indoor ski park comming to Sydney. If that's not enough go to nz😂

[@frank7533]

Good video but a CORRECTION: Canberra is the closest city with an international airport to a resort. 2 hours to Perisher & Thredbo. The airport now receives multiple international flights.

[@ytzpilot]

NOT TRUE AT ALL, Canberra used to accomodate a Singapore Airlines 777 Flight from Singapore to Canberra to Wellington NZ called The Capital Connection, that flight was canceled during the pandemic, currently no international flights service Canberra except for one from Fiji, which wouldn’t have any skiers. If you are flying in from North America there has never been a flight from LA or Houston or Vancouver or any North American city that came to Canberra and likely never will. This video is correct

[@frank7533]

If you were flying from North America for the sole purpose of skiing at Perisher/Thredbo it is far easier to go LAX-Fiji-Canberra.

[@ytzpilot]

@@frank7533 nope, my niece did that, they lost her gear, you cannot trust Fiji Airlines with your gear that’s the worst idea. I’ve flown between Canada and Australia/New Zealand since the 80s as I’m a dual citizenship. The best is to fly out of any major North American airport into Sydney or Melbourne and connect onto a local flight to Canberra for many reasons. If you miss your connection in Fiji they don’t have as many flights, therefore you can be stuck for 2 or 3 days in Fiji, also notorious for not getting heavy gear through because of weight issues on their smaller fleet, and most importantly you can trust Qantas or Air Canada or United because larger planes, more routes, more options during cancellations, better chances of getting both you and your gear through and can offer many better alternatives when problems arise. To be honest you are just giving out real bad advice because you’ve got some weird point to prove against this video, problem is when people listen to your bad advice based on you trying to prove a point 😩

[@ytzpilot]

@@frank7533 OMG WHat are you smoking??? For example just look at all the flights available from Toronto to Canberra, It is also just as many stops, Toronto - LAX - Sydney - Canberra, the Fiji one is like 5% of all your options and is actually slower to get you there, and like I already said Fiji Airlines doesn't handle ski equipment very well due to smaller aircraft, overweight, so they like to unload the heavy baggage like Ski Equipment (this happened to my niece) and you get them days later, and also like I said when Fiji leaves you stranded in Los Angeles you have no other options but to wait for days for the next Fiji Flight. With the major airlines like Air Canada, United or QANTAS they are star alliances, therefore if you miss a connection anywhere along the way they will get you on another flight same day and sometimes with another airline because they can do that, they can do a lot more for you to get you there which is very important if you only have 7 days of skiing. AGAIN YOU ARE GIVING OUT BAD ADVICE TO SKIERS, FIJI AIRLINES is GREAT for Beach Goers. You seem like you don't travel enough from Australia to North America with ski equipment, you probably never have judging by your posts 🤑

@@ytzpilot Roooooaaaaarrrrrr!

[@CustomcrowdMitroc]

thredbo is best suited in summer for mountain biking

[@MrMarkhall1]

I find this hard to believe, I thought oz was hot allover

[@alancwwong]

Perisher is the biggest but only skiing. Thredo has more entertainment options if you don't ski or don't want to ski.

[@Zroolmpf_Celmbror]

Right, but this is a video ranking the best places for skiing.

[@jdlc903]

Mad I'm English, didn't know Australia had ski resorts , thought it was all desert and bush

[@twoflyinghats]

Australia gets more snow than Switzerland!

[@ozcompass5610]

Great video! I have also made a video of what it is like to road trip from Queensland with kids to see the snow

[@charliebell7163]

hotTHam not hodum

[@Jasper-cl6of]

Thredbo better as an Australian who skied there to day and Perisher yesterday

[@vapeurdepisse]

Today I learned Australia has snow 😂

[@junzhang2963]

top 5? no just only

[@misskyekye]

Not this winter, it was a total ripoff to be honest I went to Hoffman, falls creek and thredbo all the same. Pay more get less!!

[@suej9329]

* Hotham.

[@Lumiobyte]

Top 5 more like only 5 😂

[@ross9503]

🤣😂😂

[@jimbosaul3996]

ironically there are really only 5 resorts in Australia !! lol. so yes this is the best Top 5. agree with your ranking tho, but i think Hotham should be above Falls. just b/c its better more challenging skiing. Tho Falls is lovely for families and ski in ski out is superb - something you didnt really mention. 100% of the resort accom is ski in/out. ski down to lifts in morning, ski home along the home trails in the afternoon. you can literally ski into your chalet door !. Thredbo more challenging and longer runs than Perisher but smaller. toss up in my mind which is the better out of those 2. good job tho.

[@mountain_sight]

Thank you, appreciate your feedback! Great input as well, hope people read your comment and get inspired.

[@jimbosaul3996]

@@mountain_sight wondering where you get your footage from??? i assume you haven't been down here to all these resorts>? so do you ask the tourist info centres or resorts directly for footage. or do you get from youtube videos and take small snippets from many etc. b/c its a good job, but i see some of your other videos only use stills of resorts.

[@sherpa8670]

What about Baw baw and Charlottes pass?

[@jimbosaul3996]

@@sherpa8670 Yes that's true tho they are only very small. only got 3 or 4 lifts, which is one chair and rest just Tbars or pomas. so small resorts. Charlottes pass more substantial i think. there is also Selwyn ski resort. i always felt these are more like club fields. they're not mainstreeam and not overly popular in the aussie skiing psyche.

[@Jontyyyyyy101]

@@jimbosaul3996 what about the Tasmanian resorts

[@barrythebarra6683]

Hotham is best 🤘
