With winter season providing premium snowfall for Thredbo, it was a no-brainer for us to head down for a weekend on the slopes – and this time, we let Oz Snow and Ultimate Ears curate the trip.

It’s nice to have a little getaway where somebody else takes the reigns and organises everything for you – literally all you have to do is pack a knitted sweater and turn up… And turn up we did. We arrived at Central Station for the drive to Thredbo, which takes just over five hours on the road. Still, time flies when you’re on a party bus with a large assortment of liquor at your disposal, being free-poured in the comfort of your own seat. No need for roadies, they’ve got all the spirits on deck. Now that’s service:

Just delivering some bangers to Thredbo via snowboard, don’t mind me:

And that’s a wrap! The next day we headed back on the bus to Sydney, weathered but ultimately happy to have a weekend away in the snow. It was distinctly more quiet on the way back up, but that’s to be expected when you fit in this many activities into a weekend. Until next time, Thredbo:
