Had a weeks skiing in Charlotte Pass staying at the historical Kosciuszko Chalet built in the 1930's. The Chalet has a lot of old world charm a great bar and fire, food and nightly piano bar music. The best thing is you ski in and out so you're right there on the snow.

Charlotte Pass is the highest skiing resort in Australia at 1765m, from the top of the chair you can see Mt Kosciuszko not far in the distance. Even though it was the end of the season and spring had come early there was still good snow and on our second day some fell leading to most kids sticking their tongues out to catch it.

Just getting there is an adventure after arriving in Perisher via the ski tube the over snow caterpillar transports you through the valley to the quite Charlotte village - no ques or harried day trippers.
This was the kids second trip to the snow so Hollander was whizzing down the mountain using the POMA and chair well, and Oren who finally got it was doing the same by the end of the week. No fear of speed or falling down!
We on the other hand are still advanced beginners freaked out by having no brakes but starting to get the parallel skiing and the fun hockey stops.
