Do drive carefully and watch out for the wildlife! There is nothing worse than the sight of a dead wombat beside the road. There is also a regular shuttle bus from Jindabyne to both Thredbo Village and Perisher Blue however the most convenient and quickest method of accessing the slopes is via the ski tube.
