Snow Tours from Sydney 2026 | Snowy Mountains & Perisher Ski Trips | Urban Legends

Premium Snow Tours from Sydney to the Snowy Mountains | NSW 2026

There's nothing quite like that first breath of crisp alpine air. The crunch of fresh snow underfoot. Looking out across the Australian Alps as the morning sun hits the peaks. That feeling of pure freedom before your first run of the day. This is what we live for — and it's exactly what we've built with Urban Legends snow trips.

We run premium 3 and 4-day snow tours from Sydney, Wollongong, the Southern Highlands and Canberra to Perisher in the Snowy Mountains, NSW. That's Australia's largest ski resort — over 3,000 acres of terrain in the heart of Kosciuszko National Park.

But let's be clear about what 'premium' means: quality accommodation in private lodges (not overcrowded dorms), proper hot meals (not disappointing food), 2024 luxury coaches (not rattling old buses), daytime arrivals (not stumbling in after midnight), and separate family and social zones (so everyone gets the trip they came for).

Every detail has been personally curated by our founder Jared — who's been running snow tours since 2016 and knows every square inch of Perisher, from the best beginner slopes to the secret powder stashes only locals know. Jared is on most trips himself, personally guiding guests around the mountain — whether you're a complete first-timer touching snow for the first time or an experienced rider hunting fresh lines.

Yes, there are cheaper options out there. There's a reason they're cheaper. If you've heard horror stories about snow trips — arriving after midnight then being dragged out at 6am, terrible food, noise all night, everyone crammed together — that's the budget experience. We're the alternative to that.

2026 bookings now open. 300 beds across 9 private lodges — good weekends book out fast.

First Time to the Snow? You're in Good Hands

Never seen snow before? Never skied or snowboarded? Heaps of our guests are complete beginners — including families with kids experiencing the magic of the Australian Alps for the first time. We make sure everyone feels looked after every step of the way.

A first snow trip can be overwhelming. What gear do you need? Where do you go? What if you've never stood on skis? That's exactly why we've designed our trips to take the stress out of it — so you can focus on the adventure of a lifetime.

How We Look After First-Timers

• Jared guides you personally — he's on most trips and knows Perisher inside out

• Gear rental sorted — we stop at Ski Co Cooma where staff help you get fitted

• You don't have to ski — snow play is incredible! Snowmen, snowball fights, tobogganing

• We help you book lessons — best times (11am+), best areas, booking links

• Perisher has perfect beginner terrain — gentle slopes, magic carpet lifts

• No judgement, just good vibes — everyone starts somewhere

When to Go: Low Season vs High Season

Low Season (June – mid July)

• $100 cheaper per person

• Quieter slopes — shorter lift queues, more space to learn

• Great for beginners and families with young kids/toddlers

• Snow depth might be less (though Perisher has excellent snowmaking)

High Season (mid July – August)

• Peak snow conditions — maximum terrain open

• Best chance of fresh powder

• Full mountain experience, buzzing atmosphere

• School holidays = busier, books faster, $100 more

Jared's tip: If you're a beginner or taking toddlers, low season is ideal — quieter slopes, save $100, beginner areas have snowmaking anyway.
