We left Sydney around 6pm and we ended up getting there around 1am. The bus journey took us more than 6 hours to get there. Ones we were there we had to organize everything for the morning. I wasn?t looking forward to that, simply because I was tired and all I wanted to do was to get to bed and get some decent sleep after a long time on the coach. In the morning we had to get up at 6.30 for breakfast and leave for the mountains at 8am. Wow, finally getting to the mountains was amazing, my first time going on the snow ?what was I thinking?. Well, there was too much of emotions, happiness and excitement at the same time. As a first timer I was given two hours training on how to ski. At first I thought to myself I wouldn?t be able to do this, to my surprise I had the most incredible instructor. He was very easy going and showed me all the basic to skiing. As the training went on I started to get my confidence up and I was enjoying every moment of it. After two hours of training we were able to ski on our own. Day one on the mountains was great, everything was perfect. I couldn?t asked for anything more. The whole snow experience was just unreal; it was just amazing and fantastic at the same time. I had the best time of my life and I will cherish and appreciate the whole experience for the rest of my life. Will I do it again? You bet I will, I?m already planning my next trip early next year. See you next year everyone!!!

I enjoyed the weekend very much. The departure time of the tour was perfect for me as I just finished work and then joined the tour at convenient location in the centre of Sydney. Our guide, was great and full of enthusiasm. She helped us with all of our questions and made sure we were having a good time. The bus driver, drove us safely there and back and played music. It is quiet a long journey from Sydney to Snowy Valley so they played a DVD for some people who stayed awake during the bus ride. The guide organized the room allocation and ski hire on the bus so once we go to the resort everyone knew what room to go to and where to go to get there skiing equipment. The Snowy Valley Resort is about 45min drive located from Threadbo and it is near a beautiful lake with a fantastic view. Everyone was happy to get a nice warm breakfast every morning before heading to the snow and Saturday?s night party was in the local bar was good too. Threadbo itself has many options in terms of skiing for beginners to advanced skiers. I have had a fantastic time and I hope I can get some time off and go back again next year.

The ski on the mountains was great! However, the accommodation was terrible. Based on the kind of quality tours I've had with Viator, this recent experience was not good. For the price I pay, I get the type of accommodation same as students! We had to wait for a late shower as there was insufficient hot water. Inconvenience!
