Advice on which snow tour operator reviews please
« on: July 04, 2004, 06:22:30 PM »
Looking to go to the slopes but new to OZ so not sure who’s the best (the sales staff can feed you bollocks so want real reviews)... So thought Id ask the locals (Especially as both say they cater to students ie who is telling porkie pies and who’s on the level) and the same sort of crowd I’m looking to go with ie young, party, up for it, naughty and who want to actually do some boarding /skiing.

 The Short list I have is

1.  Ski Kaos who operate in the centre of West or 'main' Jindabyne town with the clubs and everything. Who say you deal with the direct so are cheaper and you can choose Perisher or Thredbo. Self catering... And say they cater mainly to Aussie Students

So any Aussie students heard of them?
 You heard of them? Any good? They anything like these schoolies trips Ive been hearing about?

2.  OZ Snow Adventures who stay in east Jindabyne about 10 km out of town on the other side of the lake who say as not in town you party with the same crowd all week so get to know them but only at their hotel as its a bit of a 10km trek...Also they are catering so have to wake for breakfast and get back for dinner etc... but again same crowd.

3. Or Mojosnow who operate out of Jindabyne town and go to perisher who again look like a party crowd but only seem to operate 3 day mid week or weekend trips...


4. So whos been to these operators?


5. Who is best overall and is it better to be in town scattering to various bars/clubs or in East Jindabyne across the lake in the isolated but single crowd group? and Perisher or Thredbo...?

 I’m beginner to intermediate ski and snowboard...

hi chris ,and welcome to the zone.

i have seen all the adds for the 3 operators you named and they look all ok for price.

1,,ski kaos ,,i dont know much about

2,,ozsnow,,you  stays in a clean but older place and you cant walk to town 10km ,the people i have talk to that stay there , are about 18 to 35  and all had a good time. they party hard at the snowy valley resort.

3,,mojo snow,,looks pretty cheap for price ,and the accomadation in right in town at the local pub ,rooms are clean and the pub has bands ect .

 MORE TO LOOK AT.
[4] " the staion resort ",5 km from town .they got cheap deals ,and have a large bar with bands ect ,bit of a party place.18-40 age and familys.

{5] look into "ski rider" there ok in price ,food ok and clean ,my mates stay there its in the national park only 15 minutes to perisher ,if you got a few people it gets cheaper.
and they drop you up to the snow and pick you up by bus ,they got a bar and party nights there.18 to 40 age and familys.

just find the cheapest ,deal there all ok you will have a good time in all of them ,if it was me i would stay "out of your picks", if price is ok ,
at the mojo snow ,, the pub is a good place and you can walk around the shops and try a different bar.
if your stuck 5km or 10km from town and theres not much of a party crowd, your stuck.

do you want to get a bus down or are you driving??.
hope this helped you abit. :)
