Escape the city for a weekend at the snow with Oz Snow. The weekend Sydney to the snow tour is the perfect way to get away from it all and let loose! Oz Snow owns and operates most elements of the tour so we can take care of everything you need for an epic weekend away.
Our buses depart every Friday evening from Sydney’s Central Station, Western Forecourt Coach Area at 5:30pm; Canberra, Jolimont Centre at 9:30pm and return late Sunday night.
