Get your snow fix this winter as you cut sick on the half-pipe or rip up the ski slopes? You can arrange to be taken to Thredbo or Perisher Blue on the day of travel.

This package includes party night at the Snowy Valley Resort and six full days at the snow, as the bus departs the snow to return to Canberra/Sydney at 4.15pm on Day 6.

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 metre 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 metre rail, tabletops, burns, kickers and a halfpipe designed by the experts.

TIPS For Beginners

• Bring Sunglasses
