The Shred and using OzMum to avoid the PooTube

Avatar

Hi Guys,

If you want to pay OzMum to get you up to the Perisher (for your Hans Oversnow transport to the Sundeck which is included in your accom)

Please let me know - there is only a limited amount of spots she can do on the Sunday and Friday (other days will be easier).

She charges $80 per car for the return journey. So if you are coming alone from Sydney you should tee up with another car to make it worth your while. but please bear in mind if you have say 4 people that your gear has to fit in one car. For maybe a bit extra Dad could chuck board bags in the back of the ute and follow you up. Still works out heaps cheaper than the tube.

Azz I already have you penciled in, but please confirm with me grin

What about early mornings? We are planning to arrive on the Friday morning fairly early.

Yep thats fine. it is more difficult though at the peak arrival times of everyone else!

And I am guessing she will be ferrying everyone up that is staying at casa oz from Thursday night?

Yep!

But I will believe it when I see if you guys make first lifts on Friday!! So I am guessing you can meet her at the house around 8.30 (or later if i know you guys!) and she will drive you up then.

Guest of CasaOZ will have no choice but to make first lifts if they want a lift up! I have booked us in for a 7.30am departure!

I have every intention of leaving my place at 6am to get up there as early as possible smile

Ah the best laid plans!

I bet you will be ready to go at 8.30am when mum gets back from dropping us up the mountain!

But if you do make it up early then if Dad is around he can take you too.

We just wont know his schedule til a week before.

So if people want to lock in guaranteed times they need to let me know asap to lock in with mum. Once we have dads schedule we can open up other times.

Rub us out please Ozzy, we decided that with a ute full it was easier to just go straight to the tube rather than unload twice smile

Worked out should get us on the snow about 23mins and 34 seconds faster !!!!!

I am hoping Oz Dad is driving the tube…........ would he let me have a go ? One of my bucket list things, drive a train shaka

Sure Azz,

But if you don’t mind mum driving the car she will just get in with you and bring it back down. Up to you though

All good, lads have forked over the $$$, so no turning back.

Now lets talk about Azz at the helm of a train smile

Haha! Sadly he must have the doors to the train drivers compartment closed at all times! and as a newbie he doesn’t like breaking the rules!!

Hey Oz, would your dad still be happy to give me ride up on the morning of Saturday the 8th? I’d be happy to buy him a slab or give him some cash or whatever… Just let me know… Maybe we can exchange mob numbers closer to the day.

Also do I still have a seat in the Oz-mobile for the return journey to Canberra on Sunday night?

Cheers shaka

Yes to both Anti,

But you might want to tee up a ride with maybe Dylan from Canberra? He is heading up on the saturday.

Honestly I know it is hard (being a super organised person myself i would find it frustrating) but I promise it will all work out in the end. And yes for some cash mum and dad will be keen to help out anyone who needs it at the last minute.

Yep no worries thanks smile

I actually might just try and convince the driver to drop me at the skitube terminal….  I’m not really too worried about forking out the $$‘s.. I think at that stage after traveling all night I’m just gonna want to get to the sundeck LOL

Yeah I’m sure it will all work out in the end LOL

 
Avatar

Oh yeah thats right!

I bet the bus is going to Thredbo and therefore the skitube, there will prob be others getting off there and he wont care you stay on to the tube.

Don’t forget though the last tube you can get on on the morning is 8am!! (but am sure you will make it!)

But yeah if you get there and he kicks you off in Jindy you can call mum and dad!
