Nothing too wrong with Mt Selwyn.

The differences are , it isn't anywhere near as big as Perisha or Thredbo. No accom on the Mountain. Its more family orientated , and prices are better as well.

Its going to be cold where ever you stay. If yiou are using the Camper then , Adaminaby would be an option. Its only about 30 mins or so to Mt Selwyn from there.

G'day Moneypit,
Yer mate, Selwyn is OK, and as a family, in the past, we enjoyed 'Smiggins Hole'.
However, a word of warning - if you can work it - dont go on a weekend.
It can be very, very busy...
Check the forecast, nothing worse then a cold or wet day in the snow.
And , be warned, if your there on a fine sunny day, which really makes it , the sun burn (heaps of reflection of the snow) & the glare (eyes) will get you. Take your sunnies, & sunscreen...
Happy travels,
Rowdy.

sounds like a plan but you wont be able to take your van to nearly every snow field plus it would be too cold/wet with no where to dry you clothes or park in most cases.
as these resorts are managed you have to have on sight accomadation .
although some roads still alow winter access to a few locations.
trick drive in icy conditions with a trailer..
in a recent 4by mag they used a T-van and had trouble up a moderate slope.

either way you will love the snow here.
should be a bumper year had 25-30cm on the weekend too!

Truckster (Vic) replied:

You dont want to do anything serious in snow, just play, you could go camping at Woods Point Pub, and then do Day trips up to Mt Skene...

Not much in the way of skiiing, but playing and having fun there is, cost of Mt Skene is $0.00 a week...

Sure there'll be a few more trips from the people here up to Skene, Im itchin to get up there again!

You are probably leaving your run a little late as in an average year
there often isn't much snow left in late Sept. although enough for a
play.
One suggestion would be to bring your trailer over & camp in Bright
or up the Buckland valley.
Then you have the options of finding snow up on Mt Buffalo & Mt
Hotham or go for a drive on some snow covered tracks from Mt
Selwyn to Mt Sarah. ( Great day trip but no services) Craig.......
