Well the package above only costs in transport and accomodation... lift ticket and ski hire are on top (obviously if you got your own stuff, you dont need to hire).

Plusses are you dont have to worry bout driving/parking/chains etc.

  • 2 weeks later...

Ok so to get this kinda back on track, I have talked to some places and basically the deal Andrew (SkyGTRline) found is looking the best.

So... those who want to come, when do you want to go and for how many days?

Im thinking around mid August and for the 3 days during the week.

Let me know, and we'll work something out and get booking.

i'm up for it.

nick, is that at the kookaburra lodge?

three days sounds good. the last time i went last year i did a three day/two night trip to jindy, accomodation was $155, lift pass for two days was $166, board hire for two days was about $90.

i should also add, two day lift passes cost a fair whack, so the day trips you can do with murrays are cheap as...

Ok heres my rough cost estimation...

3 Day Midweek Madness Package includes

- 3 nights accomodation at the Snowy Valley Resort, Jindabyne

- Transport from Canberra to Snowy Valley Resort by luxury coach

- Shuttle bus transport up and down the mountain each day (includes National Park entry fees)

- Complimentary 3 course dinner at the Lakeview Bistro

- Hot breakfast each morning

- Party night is Wednesday Night in Jindabyne

Busses depart Canberra at 10:30PM Monday night, returning late Thursday night.

Cost: $289 per person

EXTRA COSTS YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY

Skis stocks and boots hire -- $55

Snowboard and boots hire -- $69

Hire clothes (jacket, pants etc) -- check out some ski and camping shops for good prices

3 day lift pass / with skitube -- $248 / $302

Spending money each day for food and drinks at Perisher -- $25

So for a grand total of around $562 plus your ski/board/clothes hire. Then add on some extra cash for going out in Jindabyne, id say $650-700 would be suitable for most people.

is this for a group booking or not because they maybe cheaper if we get the numbers

$650-700

if there were 5 or more ppl interested, i would be highly inclined to go visit the flight centre, and ask em what they can do in term of group tickets to new zealand, with that amount of ppl, u can get cheap as chips accomodation. snow in NZ rips the shit out of perisher in a good year, and for $100-200 more, why not eh?

Spoke to them about group booking and they need 15 people or more.

As for the NZ idea, the problem is we need definate numbers

well some of us dont have to hire gear so those who do start looking for friends stuff to nock off of the 2 or 3 days, thats what i have done much cheaper

Oh I do intend on giving the gear back at the end

Sounds awsome... im a mad boarder so was goin up any way, but with a few skyliners is even better, I have a mate who ownes village ski shop in cooma whou could do a good deal on board/boots/pants hire if we go in a group. so yeh keen 4 SURE! :D

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
