Thredbo or Perisher Blue Weekend Snow Trip

Ski Thredbo or Perisher Blue, the choice is yours. You can decide which slopes you want to experience on the bus as it makes its way to the Snowy Mountains.

Your weekend includes partying at the Snowy Valley Resort on Saturday night and two full days at the snow, as the bus departs the snow to return to Canberra/Sydney at 4.15pm Sunday afternoon.

Thredbo:
At Thredbo there is something for everybody. From Friday Flats beginner runs through to steep tree runs, board park and half-pipe. Thredbo also guarantees snow, as it has the largest snow making facilities in the southern hemisphere and boasts the highest lifted point in Australia. The combination of long runs and lots of vertical terrain, means less time traversing and more time ripping up the slopes.

There are also plenty of challenging off piste runs filled with natural hits and powder filled chutes. The more advanced boarders will enjoy the 110 meter long half-pipe, in Thredbo's extreme board park. So join us as we head to Thredbo for the all round snow experience!

Perisher Blue:
Tear up the powder on the slopes of Perisher Blue. The year 2005 marks Perisher's 10th birthday, so this year's snow season looks to be action packed with plenty to do in the village and on the slopes.

Perisher Blue offers an amazing natural experience surrounded by great Australian scenery. Enjoy the largest skiable area in the southern hemisphere, for all levels of skiing and boarding, from beginner to the radical, thrill seeking skier or snowboarder.

Perisher offers a wide range of services, for example the terrain park which includes a 26 meter rail, tabletops, burns, kickers and a half pipe designed by the experts.

TIPS For Beginners

• Bring Sunglasses
• Have Travel Insurance
• When boarding, roll when you fall over. Do not stick your arm out (ouch!)
• Steer clear of yellow snow!
