Not sure what the standard is in Aussie but that's heaps! We're only paying $22 a night at the odd occasion we're backpackering it at Wanaka, and that's at the most expensive place in town!nice and cheap at $45 buks a night, so its good on the budget.
Just got back from a week at perisher/thredbo. There are enough runs open to keep you interested. Thredbo would be my pick, so much longer and steeper than perisher. Its definately worth it i had a ball, the supertrail is open nearely to the top, merrits was a lot of fun and some of the runs down the centre of the moountain were great. At perisher the only runs that were worth doing were the ones with the snow guns on them. I didnt go over the blue cow or guthega so im not sure what there like. The most i had to wait for a lift was about fifteen minutes, this was a t perisher. At thredbo it was a max of about three.Been thinking about going next weekend to thredbo/perisher....
Is currently worth doing a weekend at the snow over a weekend riding?
Have been looking on the net and it seems like only 50% of runs are open.... plus im guessing its likely to be super busy.
Haha nup 45 buks a night is pretty freaking good for a bed kitchen area plus tv lounge and all the other general comforts well worth an extra 20 buks a night instead of camping. Devo about the massive snow fall now im back.Not sure what the standard is in Aussie but that's heaps!

The snow around there is great - light and powdery. Don't worry about the low temperatures too much. Remember, there's no such thing as cold weather, only the wrong clothingFirst time out of Aussie snow, up in Switzerland in champerey. Hadnover a meter in the last day and night, and still falling.
However, the -22 temperature that's expected is definitely not something I'm looking forward to.
