savings on family tickets throughout the whole season, and discounts on lift and

lesson tickets during low and shoulder season. Our expert staff can give you the

best advice on the ticket choices available.

Ski & Snowboard EquipmentBoots and skis are personally fitted for your comfort and safety. All ski hire prices

throughout this brochure are based on Carving Skis. A deposit is required on all

equipment.

ClothingFor travel and indoors, warm casual clothing is all that is needed. For skiing

we suggest a parka, waterproof pants, jumper, a ski cap that covers the ears,

padded gloves, thick socks and sunglasses or goggles. Please remember to bring

sunblock as the sun’s reflection off the snow can quite often cause sunburn.

When not skiing, apré boots are suggested for oversnow walking. A travelling

rug and pillow is recommended for coach travel.

Oversnow TransfersOversnow transfers are required for Mt. Buller and Falls Creek from the

carparking areas to the accommodation. Prices vary from resort to resort,

approximately $35 return per adult and $25 return per child.

Resort Entry FeesThe Resorts are all based on National Park land and a resort entry fee is required

whether travelling by coach or driving a car into the resort. Ask our consultants
