Car Parking
Snowgums Lodge, unlike many other lodges and apartments, offers five carparks directly below the lodge. When arriving, use the provided entrance code to access the lodge and obtain the padlock key to unlock the chain blocking the carpark.
Driving Details
The roads are clear for most of the year, but when the big snowfalls hit, chains may be required for 2 wheel drives. Chains can be hired in Jindabyne and Khancoban. When hiring they will need to know your tyre size and be sure to ask them about any fitting tips. A tip from us is to practice fitting your chains and to pack an old blanket to use when fitting them.
For up to date road conditions please call the RTA traffic information line on 132 701. Select option 1 for road closures from storms, snow and ice etc and then option 1 again for Southern NSW. This will take you straight to the conditions for the Snowy Mountains.
If in the local area tune to 2XL or 97.7 Snow FM for regular updates.
