Each year, thousands of tourists descend on Oberon over the colder weekends of winter, hoping their stay will coincide with the falling of snow.

And even more hit the road from Sydney to check out the scenery once news spreads that there has been widespread snow across the Tablelands.

As NSW emerges from the coronavirus pandemic and people are encouraged to travel more within the state, the prospect of thousands of snow-seeking tourists has Oberon tourism officials on high alert.

"To plan for snow is a bit challenging, but it does bring a lot of people to town," tourism manager Mathew Webb said.

"Generally if you get snowfall on the Friday night you know it's going to be a big weekend."

With the start of winter just around the corner, local businesses are doing the best they can to prepare for the influx.

"Businesses try to be as prepared as they can be by ordering extra food and things like that, there have been times where businesses have run out of food," Mr Webb said.

"With COVID, basically council works with all of our businesses to help them, and they all have their COVID plans, but ultimately when we're at the mercy of public health orders.

"There's no limits on people travelling to this area so we are just governed by the public health and we give information to visitors about being responsible when they visit."

Even with the recent temporary closure of the Jenolan Caves, Oberon's tourism industry is still booming, with the snow expected to bring thousands more people to the town.

"Tourism numbers have been really good since august last year across the region," Mr Webb said.

"We've just come off the autumn festival and now we naturally switch into winter programming and try to capture the weekend when the snow is set to fall and manage expectations as best we can."

During last winter's largest snowfall, a broad estimation was that it attracted 10-15,000 people to Oberon, Mr Webb said.

"We're looking forward to this winter, we do quite well over winter," he said.
