Would love to do some more back country boarding and stay out over night in an ice cave if anyone is keen for a trip this winter?

About Snowboarding in Australia
Snowboarding is a thrilling winter sport that combines elements of skateboarding and surfing on snow-covered slopes. From freestyle park riding to carving groomed runs and backcountry free-riding, snowboarding has a welcoming culture and a broad range of disciplines for every ability level.
Getting Started
Beginner snowboarding lessons are available at all Australian ski resorts and typically teach falling safely, basic turns, and stopping over one or two days. Equipment hire on-site keeps initial costs low. Most resorts also offer beginner-friendly 'magic carpet' tow lifts and gentle learning areas.
Snowboarding in Australia
Australia's snowboarding scene is centred on the resorts of New South Wales and Victoria. Thredbo, Perisher, Mt Buller, and Falls Creek all have excellent terrain parks and halfpipes. The Australian Alpine season runs from approximately June to September. Find snowboarding partners near you on Sports Match Maker.
