Snowy Mountain - Jindabyne

Nice place for a weekend trip. The view from the chairlift is worth it, and you can see various trails. There are few restaurants on the top, though pretty expensive. Also, the place gets crowded, so finding a spot to sit & relax can be challenging. We went towards the end of August, so we missed the snowfall (snow is only found on the ski trails by this time). I would love to go again during the peak winters (i.e., June-July) to learn ski. Thredbo and Perisher are 2 of the main skiing trails in the snowy mountains region, if anyone is new or alien to skiing (like myself), taking a skiing class is a must do activity here (you would anyway feel odd man out if you are just sitting on the bench watching others ski). You can take some beginner class on one of the easier trails available, and you won't regret it ever. You might as well find a place in one of the Alpine village motels to stay over a weekend and take 2-3 days classes to get going.
