Is the snowy mountain in sydney and melbourne the same ?


Is the snowy mountain in sydney and melbourne the same ?
The Snowy Mountains (part of the Great Dividing Range) are only in NSW. The Victorian Alps also get snow, and are a linked range, but not the same thing. However, neither the Snowy mountains or the Victorian Alps are especially close to either Sydney or Melbourne (4 hours drive from Melbourne to the alps and 5 from Sydney to the Snowys).

There are no snowy mountains in Sydney. They are about a 5 hour drive from Sydney. Not sure about Victorian alps

you may be getting confused with the Blue Mountains which are located not too far from Sydney. The Snowy Mountains are several hours drive from Sydney. Also a few hours drive from Melbourne are the other mountains in Aussie which receive snow in winter . these more or less back onto the Snowies in NSW.
Here are the informational websites for the three different mountains you may be thinking of:
Snowy Mountains NSW (5 hours South of Sydney):

Victorian Snow Alps (4.5 Hours North of Melbourne):

Blue Mountains (1.5 Hours West of Sydney):

PS The Blue Mountains do get snow, although it is quite rare and not anything worth skiing on!
