Snow in NSW 3rd June 25-May-2017 At 4:53:09 PM Grinder

Message

The first inklings of snow in NSW are going to be on Mt Kosciusko.
For weather forecasts over the next week, the BOM website for Thredbo and Perisher ( http://www.bom.gov.au/nsw/forecasts/perisher.shtml ) will be as accurate as anything else but updated daily. The forecasts for skiers are not likely to be updated regularly at this time of the year

It does look like there is a front coming through later in the weekend that will be cold enough to produce some snow showers in the alpine areas. Good quantities of precipitation predicted, just a question of how much of it comes down as rain. I would check the snow cams on the resort websites (Perisher/Thredbo) on Monday morning to give you an idea if anything has actually eventuated. If there is clearly enough for you then go for it.
If there are some indications of snow, but not enough, there may be more above the resorts. I would ring NSW parks office in Jindabyne and ask them if there is snow on Kosciusko. Your best bet is to get as high as possible.

You're not going to get ice. If you're lucky enough to get snow, you might scrape enough together to pile and pack it up against a boulder.

Good Luck
