Skiing in New South Wales takes place in the high country of the Snowy Mountains of New South Wales during the Southern Hemisphere winter. Skiing in Australia began at the goldrush town of Kiandra, New South Wales around 1861. New South Wales has skiable terrain between elevations of around 1300m to 2200m, with viable winter snows generally found above 1500m: Thredbo, near mount Kosciuszko, has Australia's highest lifted point at 2037m and its base elevation is 1365m. Kiandra, in the Northern Skifields, has an elevation of 1400m. New South Wales has well-developed downhill ski resorts at Thredbo, Charlotte Pass, Perisher and Selwyn Snowfields. Cross country skiing is possible across the Kosciuszko National Park.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Skiing and snowboarding )〕 ==History and major locations== Jindabyne is the main service town for the New South Wales resorts, but most resort centres have on-snow accommodation. Other ski-service towns include Cooma and Adaminaby. Canberra is situated around two hours from the New South Wales ski-fields. Australia's highest town, Cabramurra, New South Wales, has private skiing facilities for residents. The mainland's highest peak is Mount Kosciuszko at 2228m.〔Footnote: As regards regions with skiable terrain, the Australian Government's Geoscience Australia Website records the highest mountains by State and Territory as follows: Mount Kosciuszko, NSW, 2228; Mount Bogong, VIC, 1986m; Bimberi Peak, ACT, 1912m; Mount Ossa, TAS, 1617m (while the highest mountain on Australian Territory is actually Mawson Peak, Heard Island, at 2745m, which despite being snowbound, has no ski industry owing to its extreme isolation).〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Skiing in New South Wales」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
