Currently 226 AUD for a day pass in mid-August. Lowest price for a weekend stay is about 1354 NZD (829 USD). I imagine food and transport is expensive too. Definitely a hard place to ride in this economy.

150 (USD) day pass is unfortunately something that happens at some US resorts these days as well, it even gets higher sometimes at places

I’m going to Mt Buller in a couple of weeks. At least it’s on the IKON so I’m not spending a ton to ski mediocre snow.

Gotta get epic Australia or work there. I worked at a resort that you could only get to by departing out of perisher resort via an oversnow. It sat between perisher and thredbo. Free lift ticket, lived on hill and I just skied all day everyday.
