The "Snowy Ride" is an annual fundraising event for the Children's Cancer Institute of Australia and is held in the Snowy Mountains each November. More than 3000 riders each year participate in the event.
Snowy Hydro not only sponsors the event annually, but supports the Snowy Ride with the National Parks Service by hosting a 2 day mountain escape for children who are battling cancer and their families. Together with the National Parks Service and the local Apex group, the children and their families are treated to the best hospitality the Snowy Mountains can provide, providing some rest, relaxation and enjoyment away from hospital.
