great tips thanks for sharing

The only problem with booking early is if it is a late snow fall you don’t get your money back. We wait to see what the season is looking like first and then book.

Some great little tips here. I always wanted to go to the snow, I think I will book it in for next year!!

Try and bring as much as your own food as possible!

thank you for posting your great tips.

youth Hostels can be a good accommodation option for the whole family, too.

I’ve found the Aldi snow gear sale to be a great place to buy ski stuff. I’m not that much into second hand clothes.. Just doesn’t sit well with me.

Handy to know, must be similar to booking flights as far out from the date that you need as well much cheaper!

We travel up to mount Wellington when there’s snow on top, I bought my winter jacket in a sale they had when winter was over and we also got my daughters snow suit from there half price. I love sales and we put away the clothes in an air tight tub until thAt season comes around. Thanks for your tips in saving $

Also; I agree with buying and using second hand snow gear.

yes good tips. we want to plan a snow trip but it is a lot of organising

Buying second hand is a life-saver for us! Hope you have a wonderful trip!

It’s very expensive to go skiing indeed. We went once and decided to fly to New Zealand because it was cheaper than going inside Australia. Buy second hand clothes is very important indeed, in particular with kids that will outgrow the clothes anyway.

We always go early or later to save money.

They are great tips thank you.
Before we got our snow gear I looked at eBay and second hand sites and it was much cheaper to get them new from the aldi sale
