Heading to the snow this winter? Buy your All Parks annual pass online:
- NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service (NPWS) has made the snow season easier for visitors, with annual passes available for purchase online

Physical annual passes are no longer available:
- Visitors can no longer buy annual passes from entry stations and will instead need to pre-purchase their new annual pass online from the NPWS website
- For concessions and discounts, apply at least 3 days before travel to allow for approval and processing
- Day passes are still available to buy at entry stations and from local NPWS visitor centres in Jindabyne, Khancoban and Tumut, as well as the Thredbo Visitor Centre and NPWS Perisher Valley Office.
