Off peak means less people and cheaper prices Stay on the mountain in a lodge. I've previously stayed at http://www.aeski.com.au/ the place is fine and will cost $125 for the two nights stay. Each put in some petrol money and con the person with the biggest car into driving us all to Mansfield at bottom of mountain. The cars can be left there for the weekend and we can be taken by bus up the mountain $40 return. Last bus up on Friday night leaves at 9.30pm so we may have to get out of work early. For details and timetable see http://www.buslines.com.au/mmbl/ 2 day lift ticket costs $165, 1 day costs $85 Cant remember how much equipment hire is ...
