Our recent article on the cost of a weekend at the snow had our office (and many of our readers, too) in shock. So we decided to see how much it would cost to stay in the Australian Alps for the duration of winter.Little did we know that renting a house in Jindabyne, Adaminaby, Berridale or the region from June to September is actually a hugely popular thing to do. And there were more than a few options on our own site.Here’s what we found.<h3 data-block-key="bqg63">This one-bedroom retreat in Avonside will cost you $8,000 for the whole winter.</h3><h4 data-block-key="b1ajk"><a href="https://zango.com.au/rent/a-794-avonside-road-avonside-nsw-2628-100371/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">794a Avonside Road, Avonside NSW</a></h4><img alt="a-794-avonside-road-avonside-nsw-2628-100371-image-0-20240527034643919349-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="600" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/a-794-avonside-road-avonside-nsw-2628-100371-i.width-800.jpg" width="800">That’s a very reasonable price considering a single weekend was around the $4,000 mark.

“We’re just two hours from the coast and the snow.”One of the big reasons people move to Canberra — and why we love living here — is because we’re so close to the snowfields. Life in the capital means experiencing four full seasons and the convenience of a 2.5-hour scenic drive to the powdered-covered mountaintops of the south-west.<img alt="shutterstock_1975469750" class="richtext-image full-width" height="534" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/shutterstock_1975469750.width-800.jpg" width="800">But how much does a weekend at Thredbo during snow season actually cost in 2024?We looked into how much you’d need to fork out if you headed to Thredbo from Canberra on Friday afternoon and returned Sunday afternoon after two full days of skiing.
