It’s back! The Snow Travel Expo returns to Sydney and Melbourne for 2021 after a 2020 Covid hiatus and boy, are we excited. All those fellow snow lovers to chat to, all those resorts to salivate over, all that powder, that snow joy and even a trans Tasman bubble.

The show will be in Melbourne this Sunday, May 16 and hitting Sydney next weekend, Sunday May 23, so here’s the ultimate guide to help you make the most of an epic day.

Plan ahead for when the borders open
We’re all itching to go skiing and snowboarding overseas and there’s nothing better than planning your dream trip (except going on your dream trip).
Regardless of what kind of adventure you’re considering – whether it’s an extended family trip to Whistler or a quick getaway to Thredbo sometime in August – you’ll be able to speak to someone at the show about anything you have in mind, get their top recommendations, and even check out the special show deals they may have on offer.
Connect with Australia and the world’s best ski resorts (New Zealand, Japan, Canada, USA, Sth Korea, Europe – Switzerland, Austria and France) to help inspire and plan your next winter ski trip.
Listen to expert presenters, check out the latest gear, connect with passionate snow-experts, and get inspired to hit the slopes for your next winter adventure.
Come armed with a variety of questions, or simply have a walk through each of the stalls and see what interests you most. Just be sure to set a good chunk of time aside for the show, as you can easily spend hours exploring all the options on offer.
2. Lock in your trip right there and then
At the show, you’ll have the opportunity to speak to over 6 dedicated snow travel specialists. Want to speak to United Airlines about their latest flight routes? Or maybe you’d like some champagne at the Ikon Pass Après Lounge?
They’ll be there, ready to chat, and generally also offering up deals that are show-specific just for those in attendance – so if you’re looking for a bargain for an upcoming trip, you may just find it here.
3. Bring your wallet and score some snow goods
If you’re in the mood for shopping, this is where you need to be. Check out the latest gear on offer – everything from skis and snowboards to goggles, helmets and gloves. No more driving around to all kinds of different ski shops on the weekends, you can find it all here.
4. The travel presentations
From the time the show opens at 10am, there’s a line-up of presentations scheduled in for the day. Check out the schedules below.
