Winter in Australia is full of fun in the alps of NSW, Vic and also Tasmania. There are also indoor venues dotted around the country that you can practice snowboarding and skiing and you don't need snow. Here we try and help with some shops that have genuine snow sales. We also include some notes on our experiences. Have a great snow season!

Great service as the owners are pretty much the ones you will deal with.

Yes the have hire equipment. But if you need a specialist wax or repair then this is the place. The staff here are fantastic and know their stuff.
In terms of Snow Sales, Pullins have a big sale on the Queens Birthday weekend. They tend to bring in a lot of stock of new snow gear and then they also have the run out of some of the previous years hire gear!
Lots of kids gear aswell so if looking to fit out the little ones this could be the go!
You won't miss the marquees in the car park as they take over extra space for this sale! And nice warm heaters to keep everyone warm!
And I recall picking up an excellent kids used snowboard for $50. So sometimes it may be even better to buy than hire!
