Charlotte Pass, Australia
Introduction
Charlotte Pass is located some 310 miles (500 km) south of Sydney. The resort is the highest in New South Wales and provides a rather small amount of rideable terrain with only five access lifts. Overall the area will suit slow learning beginners and carvers without a brain. Still the slopes are crowd free and will do for an afternoons fun. But forget about staying for more than a day or two (dull is the word).
New for season
2008: New magic carpet lift in beginners area. New terrain park. New backcountry tours and expanded hire gear facilities
