The Ski Tube is an isolated tourist railway in the Southern Alps of NSW. Its primary use is to ferry skiers in the winter months from Bullocks Flat to the ski fields at Perisher and Blue Cow. It is a rack railway which climbs 755m in 8.5km of track.

The terminal station of Blue Cow is the highest station in Australia, at 1875m. 6.3km of the line is underground including the two ski fields station.

Due to lack of summer patronage, the Skitube is now only open in the winter months.
