Comments on: Bullish Pricing Amid The Carnage At Ski Resorts http://www.traveltrends.biz/ttn555-bullish-pricing-at-ski-resorts/ Incorporating TRAVELtech and No Vacancy Thu, 02 Feb 2012 09:15:08 +1100 http://wordpress.org/?v= hourly 1 By: John http://www.traveltrends.biz/ttn555-bullish-pricing-at-ski-resorts/#comment-9 John Fri, 12 Jun 2009 07:30:24 +0000 http://www.traveltrends.biz/660/#comment-9 Perisher has discounted prices for the early season (they are on the web) Ski two days and get it for less than $72 per day and it gets cheaper. Same for Thredbo, they have a better price if you do the two days.Maybe that should have been mentioned alongside the one day price, just to be honest in the reporting, and each have an even more discounted price for this weekend. It also depends upon what is on offer.. compare apples to apples not chalk and cheese. A lot more terrain is is apparently going to open and with Mt Perisher open, advanced terrain as well. Sorry Martin sloppy journalism. Would love to see honest reporting rather than sensationalism...

The point is really that some ski resorts are able to raise or hold lead-in prices when the rest of the travel industry is discounting. Also note the Victorian resorts have a cheaper early season day ticket rate, so it can be done. The story is on the single day rate and based on website pricing.

Why is that people want ski resorts to always work by different rules. It would also be really good if journalists did their research (it used to be part of their training ). It has been on the perisher site for some time now about the pricing and it is still reported incorrectly.

The vast majority buy multi-day passes, for example: Early Season prices (now until until 26 June) makes a 5 day pass cost only $62.80 per day. Further, if you were skiing today a one-day pass would cost only $85 for an adult and $47 for a child. September pricing also kicks in from the 7th, which again reduces pass prices. Other special offers also exist such as the Perisher Card that reduces lift pass prices as well as gives discounts on a range of products. Perisher Card holders skiing this weekend can purchase a 2 day pass for just $99. Perisher plans to open Mt Perisher tomorrow, which will see a significant amount of terrain open to the public both groomed and off piste. So, the lead in price can be misleading, however this doesn't speak to the majority of visitors to Perisher. Martin,
