“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 Kosciusko National Park on Friday afternoon and returned Sunday afternoon after two full days of skiing. Prices are for two kids (aged 7 to 12) and two adults.<h2 data-block-key="1k2n1">Travel</h2><img alt="shutterstock_1361670116" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/shutterstock_1361670116.width-800.jpg" width="800">Driving is going to set you back around $150 in petrol, and you&#x27;ll need to hire snow chains. It’s compulsory for two-wheel drive cars to carry chains on NSW Alpine National Park roads.You&#x27;ll also need to pay to get into the national park, which is $30 per day per car.Petrol - $150 Tyre chain hire - $50 Access to Kosciusko National Park x 3 days - $90<h4 data-block-key="bi0kp">Total travel cost $290</h4><h2 data-block-key="95qta">Gear</h2><img alt="shutterstock_1742352389" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/shutterstock_1742352389.width-800.jpg" width="800">I mean the snow is fun and all but you need so much stuff. You can grab a package that includes standard carve skis, boots, poles, jacket and pants for $89/day for an adult or $42/day for a child.The kids are going to need a helmet (that&#x27;s another $12/day) each and snow shoes for everyone at $36/day each.You’ll also need to purchase your own gloves for all that snowman building, which could cost anywhere from $10 from Temu to $200 from Burton.We also recommend a good pair of skiing goggles when hitting the slopes. Hire generally starts from $10 a pair.Hire of skis, boots, poles, jacket, pants, shoes, goggles + $30 gloves for two adults (x 2 days) - $560 Hire of skis, boots, poles, jacket, pants, helmets and shoes + $30 gloves for two kids (x 2 days) - $420<h4 data-block-key="21hr0">Total gear cost $980</h4><h2 data-block-key="2c24g">Lift passes</h2><img alt="shutterstock_1761257936" class="richtext-image full-width" height="534" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/shutterstock_1761257936.width-800.jpg" width="800">Lift passes are a necessity for a couple of days on the slopes, but they&#x27;re the most expensive part of the trip. Thredbo lift passes cost $210/day on weekends for adults. Kids aged 7 to 12 are $115/day on weekends.Thredbo weekend lift passes for two adults and two kids x 2 days - $1,300<h4 data-block-key="2lgo4">Total lift pass cost $1,300</h4><h2 data-block-key="240gl">Accommodation</h2><img alt="Apt-6-2-Bedroom-Loft-View-to-Mountains-from-Master-bedroom-Entry-1030x579" class="richtext-image full-width" height="449" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/Apt-6-2-Bedroom-Loft-View-to-Mountains-from-Ma.width-800.jpg" width="800">Staying close to the action overlooking the snow-capped mountains is all part of the experience.

Located a short drive from Jindabyne, <a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/7783-the-snowy-river-way-jindabyne-nsw-2627-93396/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">7783 The Snowy River Way</a> is a rural retreat with room to roam. But with so many playful features, you may never leave the house.The grand feel of the property is evident as you enter through automatic gates to drive up a concrete driveway to the breathtaking three-level home.<a href="https://zango.com.au/agencies/henley-property-jindabyne/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Henley Property</a> principal <a href="/agents/michael-henley/">Michael Henley</a> says the 103-acre property is an “incredibly unique” find in the wider Snowy Mountains region.<img alt="7783-the-snowy-river-way-jindabyne-nsw-2627-93396-image-0-20240110104643922262-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7783-the-snowy-river-way-jindabyne-nsw-2627-93.width-800.jpg" width="800">“The building’s character and style set it apart,” he says.“I would put it down as being among the best homes – if not the best home – I’ve actually had the opportunity to ever put to market.”The character of the home is more than skin deep – fun design features are scattered throughout.“It has loads of features you don’t usually see. It’s got multiple living rooms and many little things that set it apart. There’s a fireman’s pole out of one of the kid’s bedrooms. It drops them in the middle of the kitchen in time for breakfast, lunch or dinner.“Above the lounge room is a full trapeze net where the kids can hang out and watch TV.”<img alt="7783-the-snowy-river-way-jindabyne-nsw-2627-93396-image-0-20240110104648162263-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7783-the-snowy-river-way-jindabyne-nsw-2627-93.width-800_lJU2sOO.jpg" width="800">Michael says the “full-on, beautiful gourmet kitchen” means entertaining will be a (stylish) breeze with Caesarstone bench tops, timber kitchen island, glass panel cabinetry, and a butler’s pantry with its own sink and drawer dishwasher.Michael says local touches are also present, such as the two-story feature fireplace made using stones from the property and a chandelier made with antlers found on the property.“You’ve got views of the mountains and the house is situated with a northerly aspect so there is plenty of sun.”Michael says the four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is also solar passive, meaning the sun’s energy is used to heat or cool the property.It also boasts 25.4 kW solar panels, water tanks, a chicken coop, and a partially covered outdoor entertaining area with a built-in barbecue and bar fridge.After you and your guests have feasted (and waited 20 minutes to digest), you can head to the in-ground spa or in-ground trampoline for some fun.<img alt="7783-the-snowy-river-way-jindabyne-nsw-2627-93396-image-0-20240110104647260348-thumbnail-1920x1920-70" class="richtext-image full-width" height="533" src="https://d2t3vhau9g43uy.cloudfront.net/media/images/7783-the-snowy-river-way-jindabyne-nsw-2627-93.width-800_Y2a6nfn.jpg" width="800">Floor-to-ceiling windows in the open-plan kitchen, living and dining area let in the sunlight (and heat the dark polished concrete floors) and overlook the surroundings, including several fully fenced paddocks.“It would be well-suited to people who have horses or are thinking of getting horses.”It is this family appeal that will likely draw the crowds, Michael says.“It’s got all sorts of very cool things for kids and families that make it an incredibly warm and friendly family home,” he says.The property comes with a 200 sqm three-bay shed, including a workshop area on the lower level and a semi-open barn.Michael says there has been strong interest in the property.“It is financially at the top end of our market, but people can see themselves living in it with their children,” he says.“Most people walk in and are quite taken with what they see and the warm spirit of the home.”7783 The Snowy River Way Jindabyne, NSW is for sale for $3,500,000.<a href="https://zango.com.au/sale/7783-the-snowy-river-way-jindabyne-nsw-2627-93396/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">View the full listing.</a>Article originally written and published by <a href="https://the-riotact.com/incredibly-unique-home-in-the-snowy-mountains-on-103-acres/737089" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">the RiotACT</a>
