Good to know
This suits families and groups wanting a structured alpine day without the hassle of driving themselves, as well as visitors keen to try snow sports in Australia. However, it's not suitable for pregnant travellers, those with spinal injuries, or anyone with significant cardiovascular concerns — check with your doctor if unsure. The alpine conditions mean cold, wet weather; bring warm, waterproof layers and sturdy boots. Lunch and drinks aren't included, so budget for on-site dining, which can be pricey. Group size isn't specified, so expect a coach-load of others. Peak times (school holidays, weekends) will be busier. Specialized infant seats are available if you're travelling with very young children.
