I thought that was only a mexican thing.
Where’d your info come from Mizu?
It is only a mexican thing… Mizu is wrong… They were talking about changing it but our roads are way less dangerous than Buller / Falls / Hotham.
It used to be on the Nat Park website I think?????
First time I ever drove to the snow was to smiggs, I had to hire chains, then the followin year to Thredbo and was no need!!!!!
I think it had somethin to do with the elevation of Perishers roads/car parks, unless they have changed the rule book?????

Since I’ve been going to the snow (2007 i think was first year) they haven’t needed them.
Yep I am going to jump on the Mizu is wrong bandwagon too!!! In NSW, AWD and 4WD don’t require chains.
<font color=“orange”>Snow chains</font>
It is compulsory to carry properly-fitting snow chains if you are driving a two-wheel-drive vehicle from the June to October long weekends on the following roads:
Kosciuszko Road from the park boundary at Thredbo River
the Alpine Way between Thredbo and Tom Groggin
the Island Bend/Guthega Road for its full lengthChains may also be required in certain weather conditions on the Alpine Way between Jindabyne and Thredbo and the Snowy Mountains Highway. Check road conditions before you travel.
For this reason the RTA recommends that chains be carried during winter along the Alpine Way between Jindabyne and Thredbo and when travelling along the Snowy Mountains Highway.
Snow chains should be fitted as directed by authorised NPWS, RTA and Police officers.
4WD vehicles are not required by law to carry snow chains but due to the high incidence of 4WD vehicle accidents in Kosciuszko National Park, the RTA now recommends they do-especially if drivers have little experience driving in snow/ice risk sections.
Chains can be hired at many service stations and ski hire shops in the region, including Thredbo.
