But it's generally cheaper and easier to just fly to New Zealand. Sydney-Queenstown is a 3 hour flight, which is less time than driving to the Australian ski fields from Sydney or Melbourne. There are more and better ski options over there, though Australian resorts tend to be bigger, with gentler slopes that are better for learning. You consistently get a lot more powder in NZ, and their ski fields are generally above the tree line. Snowfalls in Australia can be a bit hit-and-miss.
