Well the package above only costs in transport and accomodation... lift ticket and ski hire are on top (obviously if you got your own stuff, you dont need to hire).

Plusses are you dont have to worry bout driving/parking/chains etc.

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok so to get this kinda back on track, I have talked to some places and basically the deal Andrew (SkyGTRline) found is looking the best.

So... those who want to come, when do you want to go and for how many days?

Im thinking around mid August and for the 3 days during the week.

Let me know, and we'll work something out and get booking.

i'm up for it.

nick, is that at the kookaburra lodge?

three days sounds good. the last time i went last year i did a three day/two night trip to jindy, accomodation was $155, lift pass for two days was $166, board hire for two days was about $90.

i should also add, two day lift passes cost a fair whack, so the day trips you can do with murrays are cheap as...

Ok heres my rough cost estimation...

3 Day Midweek Madness Package includes

- 3 nights accomodation at the Snowy Valley Resort, Jindabyne

- Transport from Canberra to Snowy Valley Resort by luxury coach

- Shuttle bus transport up and down the mountain each day (includes National Park entry fees)

- Complimentary 3 course dinner at the Lakeview Bistro

- Hot breakfast each morning

- Party night is Wednesday Night in Jindabyne

Busses depart Canberra at 10:30PM Monday night, returning late Thursday night.

Cost: $289 per person

EXTRA COSTS YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY

Skis stocks and boots hire -- $55

Snowboard and boots hire -- $69

Hire clothes (jacket, pants etc) -- check out some ski and camping shops for good prices

3 day lift pass / with skitube -- $248 / $302

Spending money each day for food and drinks at Perisher -- $25

So for a grand total of around $562 plus your ski/board/clothes hire. Then add on some extra cash for going out in Jindabyne, id say $650-700 would be suitable for most people.

is this for a group booking or not because they maybe cheaper if we get the numbers

$650-700

if there were 5 or more ppl interested, i would be highly inclined to go visit the flight centre, and ask em what they can do in term of group tickets to new zealand, with that amount of ppl, u can get cheap as chips accomodation. snow in NZ rips the shit out of perisher in a good year, and for $100-200 more, why not eh?

Spoke to them about group booking and they need 15 people or more.

As for the NZ idea, the problem is we need definate numbers

well some of us dont have to hire gear so those who do start looking for friends stuff to nock off of the 2 or 3 days, thats what i have done much cheaper

Oh I do intend on giving the gear back at the end

Sounds awsome... im a mad boarder so was goin up any way, but with a few skyliners is even better, I have a mate who ownes village ski shop in cooma whou could do a good deal on board/boots/pants hire if we go in a group. so yeh keen 4 SURE! :D

    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.  
    • Careful with posts like that around here without the flame suit on @cobo_11! 😂😂 My 330i journal is on here too. That car was so good and super reliable. We still have a 130i in the family which is almost identical to the 330i and easier to find in manual. It has also been almost faultless over the 6 or so years in the family.  I used to want an M car a lot more than I do now but if I'm honest and without trying to sound like a wanker, I can get such good performance and handling out of my 335 without needing to worry about all the crap that goes along with M car ownership. I don't need to worry about my bearings or subframe issues or the cost of replacing brakes or suspension or whether it has been impeccably maintained. And I can leave it places and not get upset when it's always filthy.
