So... There's still a lot of if's and but's and maybe's, but () if all goes well we'll be spending the summer months in Australia on a working holiday visa. I'm super excited to finally take some steps towards a more outdoors life! I've been googling around and so far, Thredbo sounds like the most interesting option - most vertical and close to Perisher to change things up. I like tree runs and there seems to be a fair amount of those either on or off piste. Mount Hotham piqued my interest too, but I'm worried the elevation difference between the base and the top is too little. They do have more lifts and maybe less crowds? Anyone who's skied one or both resorts and would like to comment on them? My BF and I are both (low) advanced skiers who prefer ungroomed terrain. We'll be taking a tour setup along, so bonus points for resorts with good sidecountry.
I know not to expect the equivalent of a major ski resort in the Alps (and it's not like I ski at those all the time over here anyway), so I think my expectations are fairly realistic. I would also much appreciate any information on housing, typical wages for seasonal jobs in ski resorts, car prices, road conditions, housing availability and prices etc. Thank you ladies!
