Please note that this activity is running at the same time as State Rally, so you will need to pick which one to attend.
This activity is open to Scouts, Venturers, Rovers, and Leaders within South Met Northern Hub – Iron Cove District.
We will be staying at the NSW Scouts Alpine Centre, where participants will sleep in dormitory-style rooms. Youth members, and adults will share the same room but will be grouped into separate sections for privacy.
Participants must make their own way to and from Timbrell Park (///react.jumped.figure). From there, we will travel together on a hired charter bus.
A range of ski and snowboard hire options will be available after registration. Note: Hired gear costs are not included in the current trip price and will be an additional expense.
Any required medication must be handed over to the leaders upon arrival, along with written instructions detailing how and when it should be administered.
Once your booking is confirmed, you will need to purchase your lift tickets directly from the Perisher website. We will be skiing on both Saturday and Sunday all day, so you will need a 2 day ticket.
We strongly recommend participants take Ski Lessons on both Saturday and Sunday at Smiggin Holes starting at 10:30 am to ensure the best experience. Children (Under 14) can purchase lessons from the Perisher website. Adults (15 and Over) can purchase lessons from the Perisher website.
(If you'd like to take ski lessons in Perisher Valley, you're more than welcome to. Just keep in mind that you'll need to either ski over the mountain or catch the free shuttle bus to get there. Feel free to send me an email if you have any questions about the lessons, I'm happy to provide more information.)
Payment for hired ski gear is required to 1st Balmain Scout Group before applications can be finalised. Please see the Payment Details document for further information.
