As early snow dumps in NSW and Victoria get ski bunnies hopping, not even price hikes of up to 46 per cent on accommodation can deter people from booking.
Dinner Plain’s Majella Lodge in Victoria costs $3500 a night in the peak ski months of July and August, but that hasn’t stopped the five-bedroom private chalet. which sleeps up to 12 people, booking out in record time.
“We got a lot of frantic calls on Friday,” said Astra’s general manager, Shannon Exelby, adding there was now 40cm of fresh snow. Extensive man-made snow activity is also well underway, with perfect -2 degree temperatures for the past 10 days.“I’m encouraging people to call us direct as there are a few nights here and there still on offer,” Mr Exelby said.
Ms Neumann pointed out that there hasn’t been ski accommodation price increases since 2019; the last decent season the local industry had before COVID-19 hit.
