Azz, you have to remember that it’s not winter and if there was like <5 people in the bar, 1 beer each an hour is probably making the place $2 per beer and they pay the bar staff $20 an hour… Its bad business lol.

During winter, They probably stay open till at least midnight.

With a price like that, I kind of want to do a week at Ullr as well. But I think I might save the money for Japan at the end of the year and just stick to the weekend at the RAD PAD!

I’ve been waiting to hear back from my person from the Condo to confirm it’s still available. I ring tomoz.

Plus I’ve been a little MIA for 2 days with other stuff.

Only need my treasury services for the Condo or another place similar.

I spend so much time in Thredbo spending $50 to make me so full I can’t move the next day is not wise.

Eating out happens maybe three times a season (unless paid for by others). I have a kitchen, I’m not on holidays and I’ll be going boarding the next day.

If I spent my time in thredbo treating it like a holiday I wouldn’t have survived 13 seasons. The Shred might be an exclusion.

Hopefully they can help out. If I can do a weekend they would be the best option, cause a day trip will suck :-(
