Selwyn is a reasonably good ski resort. Although it is the last place to get snow and the first place to lose it, the skiing in between is great. Selwyn is more of a family resort, and so specializes in beginner and intermediate runs. For people looking to pull some harder moves, then trying elsewhere is a good idea. Selwyn is well priced, and can be very enjoyable. All up it's a good place to go ;]
