oz if we are going around the same time ( or ag any stage through the season we are going down/ heading back at the same times) feel free to convoy with us.. We usually have 2-3 cars at a time.. and have CB radios that we chat on to coordinate stops etc..

Thanks Holly!

I tend to struggle with coordinating up with people due to the hours I work and this season looks no different… On the plus side I start a new role tomorrow where i get 9 day fortnights…. woot woot!

No worries, I’ve put in for the 2nd last week of July, 2 last weeks in Aug and the last week In Sept. for annual leave.. ( i should get it as no one is on holidays then)

But im planning on every second weekend between those weeks.. ( usually we do a fri/ sat as they are my days off.. ( and that means we leave at 2/3am Friday morning, ride all day Friday, all day Saturday, the. Come back sat arvo and get home around 10/11pm

But like i said.. If any of our times match up.. Just let mw know and we can meet you somewhere ( the more the merrier.) i do alot of car cruises with 10+ cars, the largest was around 6000 cars.. For charity.. And prefer to drive down in a group.. Its more fun and safer as you can keep an eye on each other and talk to each other, so you don’t get sleepy etc.

Yeah but I work for the mountain so I can’t do that sort of hours. start at 7.30am and go to 5,30pm (at the earliest :-( )

On my holidays i can go when ever… and I’m taking all four weeks during the season.. smile

Or we can at least grab a drink after work or on your days off or something.. smile

We did a bit over 20 days last season.. and that was with one lot of holidays ( 2 weeks.. where we did 11 days at the snow) I now have all 4 weeks down there..) so I’ll be in jindy a lot!

buyeah will be doing the same thing raspberry and somtimes leaving thursday morning and get there friday morning.


a question: Is there any possible way to get a season pass for reasonable price at all ?

 
Avatar

Dark and I will be there as many weekends as possible since we have the Freedom passes. Probably doing day trips though because accommodation prices suck LOL

how far are you from perisha bliz

Not really Lano. You might be able to ring up Perisher and ask around and see what you get but it’s likely they’d make you pay double the freedom price.

Grrrrrrr ah what can u do….

Don’t sweat it, Lano. At least this way you’re not stuck at Perisher the whole time.

Yeh Mr.h0z’s lil bro is in the same boat, he brought a pass last season.. Spent like $750 and only came down 3 days.. Because of his gf.. ( so essentially he paid $250 a day) so last year when we got the passes again he didn’t get one.. Ended up picking a snowboard for his Xmas present, now he has to pay like 1600 for the pass.. So we said he has to go atleast 14 days to make it worth it.. ( last year we did like 22 days making it 36 a day…)

If you are going to go often enough the season pass will still work out cheaper.. But only if you do 14+ days, roughly..
