Beware of false guidance on Google Maps!
The road out of Hanmer to ski area is clearly marked as Clarence Valley Road and signed posted to “Hanmer Springs Ski Area”.
This is via JACKS PASS (not Jolies Pass as Google Maps incorrectly directs!)
From Clarence Valley Road turn left to the ski area at St James Station, about 10 km out of town. The access road is a short undulating gravel road with a few tight corners and steep climbs. It is North facing, so any ice left on it tends to melt when the sun shines.
Car parks are located just below the Lodges.
Camper vans are not permitted, but two wheel drive cars with chains fitted normally have no problem, and four wheel drives can often get up without chains, especially later in the season.
Chains must be carried at all times and fitted if signposts or snow report advise.
