Spoke with Sandy@Ullr;
(didn’t ask about pronunciation) shut eye

$210pp/2nights/2breakfasts

If we book 20+ the cost will come down to $199.50ea/2nights/2 breakfasts.

Can do group lift purchase through Thredbo.
I spoke a very good friend of mine who just started in the ticket office, he had no idea of pricing for groups and the head of group bookings isn’t at work today - I’ll call her tomoz.

SkiTube wont work for anyone trying to get to Thredbo. Anyway it’s a $50 return ticket!!!!

Jason - so you’ll pay $30-$60 per night at Jindy backpackers, travel up and down by car each day - that’s $20 fuel a day and pay park entry of $27 a day.
Do the math = (min) $150 (but more like $250) to stay in Jindy and slide Thredbo for the weekend. For an extra $50 you can stay in thredbo, have a cooked breakfast not have 1.5hrs travelling each day, be part of the social group (probably win prizes) and have much less hassle.

Suggestions:
Fancy dress sounds good!
Also you could do a mini riders challenge. Everyone who wants to play puts their name in a hat and writes a challenge and puts it in another hat. Name gets drawn, then a challenge to match. Only small fun/silly stuff that could be done on the mtn easily.

But we need definite’s for both properties to get this thing booked, like spaz says, otherwise this party aint gonna get started at all!!!!!

Booking House Of Ullr isn’t as urgent as the Condo. Ullr (being a hotel) have a lot of beds and numbers can rise and fall without changing the price (unless it’s in the 20’s range).

Mizu Kuma - 08 March 2011 01:42 AM

It’ll be a bit of a hassle to do the group book thing with the lifts as a few of us might be doin the early bird season pass!!!!

Early bird pass is definitely happening - the bean counters at Thredbo just haven’t crunched the beans yet!!
Tomorrow I’ll know what sort of numbers is considered a group. I can’t see it being that big a hassle!!!

There are other options for lift tickets also;
5day none-consecutive pass through the Thredbo club card.
Club card gives you a discounted lift pass by 10% and each 8th day free.

Mizu Kuma - 08 March 2011 01:42 AM

I think I’ll be doin the House Of Ullaerrrrrr!!!!!

You just don’t want to cook or be woken by everyone scrambling for first lifts in the morning.

Spaz, i think you should add to the notes;

Can pay for either once details are given (bank details). I’d personally like to go for 4 days? Could someone ask Sandy for a price for Thursday Friday Saturday and Sunday?

And I may have a mate who will want to come with me (and therefore we will have transport down there smile.
