This is cottage industry at its worst. They take your money no matter what the weather is doing. Got there to find out it's pouring down with rain all day and too wet to ski. They then tell you there is going to be trouble getting back out.
Sorry but Kosciusko NP should not have given this place a licence to operate. Been to a few mountains world-wide but this takes the cake Thor the cake for the worst! Embarrassing is a word that comes to mind.

My wife and I booked a 2 nights accommodation and 2 day beginner lessons with Charlotte Pass Ski Resort last week (July 2014). Bookings were made online and via telephone. We arrived at about 4pm on day 1; checked in. We asked about our ski lessons the next day and were told it was at 9.30am.
The next day we went over to the ski school at 8.30am to allow ourselves sometime to trial fit the ski boots. We were told we needed to book our lesson time with the school, and the first available lesson was 12.30pm. We were so disappointed as we were real beginners and could not do much without the lesson. So wasted the whole morning of day 2.
As the weather was not terrific, we decided to cut short our holiday in Charlotte Pass and changed our over-snow transport to 8.45am on day 3. We were at the hotel reception at 8.30am and told the staff and porters we are on the 8.45am transport to ski-tube terminal. Knowing the lack of communication / logistics in the resort, we reminded them numerous times. Each time we were told to wait right there. Time passed and two over-snow carriages came and went. At 9am we made the staff call up the transport side and were told the transport had gone and we would have to wait for the next one i.e 9.30am. I was totally dissatisfied and complained to the hotel manager. We insisted that we wanted to go down immediately and the manager radioed one of the over-snow to turn back. The manager apologised as she walked past us, but not a bit of sincerity.
To cut a long story short, real bad communication and logistics.

Very disappointed, Kosi chalet management didn't care about problems we had. TV was not working; we just wanted the news. Half the mountain was not open, not much snow making goes on. Mountain ops were poor, no snowboard equip so old 1 snowboard instructor. I feel ripped off when I go to NSW snow fields but this was extra harsh. The food was outstanding but it out classed the chalet. Stick to Perisher or Thredbo.

Went to Charlottes Pass a few years ago and loved it so much we are returning again. With few day trippers the slopes are not crowded which makes for enjoyable skiing for beginners through to intermediate skiers. We had great snow the year we were there and the lodge we stayed at had great food and a welcoming atmosphere.

Charlotte Pass is a fantastic ski resort. Very private and quiet. I usually ski in Europe and could'nt believe that Australia could have so much snow. There may not be many slopes to go on, but for the beautiful village ambience it's worth it. We stayed at Aliji Lodge and would highly recommend it. Food at Charlotte Pass was outstanding.

For a family ski resort you can't go past Charlottes Pass. Short lift queues and very friendly people. Even on years when snow conditions have been poor we have always found plenty to do. Can easily go off-piste with the kids and explore new areas without putting anyone at risk. For what it lacks in runs it makes up for in wide open spaces and runs with barely anyone on them. For a small resort its got it all.

A great resort when the weather turns out good. Can get icy but you cant expect much out of Australia, If you want great skiing, big ski fields and world class skiing, go to New Zealand. What can I say about this place excep;t absolutley awesome. Went for 2 weeks in July and had champagne powder. Best ski experience ever!

Worst ski resort in Australia. Bad service at all lodges, Chalets etc. Big lift lines. Not much variety in terrain, all pretty boring. Not much snow making goes on so it's just ice and slush. I went there in the first week of August and the temp was +12c. There isn't too much lift accessed off piste so on a powder day it's all tracked out in a couple of hours. No matter how hard the groomers work in the mornings they can only turn the ice into crushed ice. By 10-11:00am you can feel, hear and see the water that your trying to do snow skiing on! I WILL NEVER GO THERE AGAIN!!! Perisher and thredbo are better in every single aspect from the quality of the skiing to the service in the lodges. GO TO THREDBO AN PB!
