Get to the snow safely, easily and for less  Avoid snow chains, driving in poor visibility and full car parks with the Snowy Mountains Bus Service. Starting 8 June, the service will run regularly between Jindabyne and the Perisher and Thredbo ski fields each day during the ski season, with extra services to Perisher during school holidays and Friday to Sunday in peak periods. See the timetable. There are also services to the Perisher Skitube, East Jindabyne, Tyrolean Village and Cooma. Concession, family and season passes are also available. Book ahead to secure your seat.

Staying safe online Tips for customers  Not all shopping websites are the real deal Scammers are creating fake replicas of popular retailers' websites. They hope to trick you into entering your card and account details. Not only do these sites look authentic, but their links can appear high in your web browser’s search results. Bookmark the sites you trust instead of risking searching for them again.
