If it was 2h from Central to Jindy / Ski Tube for $150 return, I would use it for every snow trip.
Then you could run a bus service from Jindy to Perisher / Thredbo for people who don’t want to stay on snow (similar to NZ)
Wake up at 5:30am, be at ski tube by 8, leave at 5, be home by 7:30pm. Day trip for $250. (if you need a pass)
