Corin Forest, Ski resort in Tidbinbilla Mountain Ranges, Australian Capital Territory.
Corin Forest is a ski resort in the Tidbinbilla Mountain Ranges of the Australian Capital Territory, set among mountain ash forest. The resort offers slopes for beginners and intermediate skiers, along with year-round outdoor attractions on the same site.
The site started as a general recreation area before gradually shifting toward winter sports. The addition of a snow-making machine called Yeti allowed the resort to offer more reliable snow cover regardless of natural conditions.
Corin Forest is often the first place where people from Canberra try skiing or snowboarding for the first time. The relaxed setting draws families and groups looking for a casual day in the snow rather than a serious alpine experience.
The resort sits about 45 minutes from Canberra by road, and mountain roads may require snow chains in winter conditions. Equipment rental and lessons are available on-site, so visitors do not need to bring their own gear.
In summer, the site operates an Alpine Slide that winds through the mountain ash forest, turning a ski slope into a warm-weather ride. This makes Corin Forest one of the few ski resorts in Australia that runs regular activities outside of the snow season.
