OFFICIAL SNOWTHREAD

in hakuba this year i got lucky and lived in staff accom for 120,000yen ($1400 roughly) for the season...then sold my bed off to another girl who moved in to my room.... but alisterio is right backpackers in echoland are $30-$40 a night...but beware! with backpackers comes australias and new zealands worst inhabitants, so many cockheads stay there, u might get lucky but yeah from my experience this season their wasnt many good people who were staying at the backpackers in hakubas echoland

yeah man lol aussies tourists god bless us alot of us seem to get into the cunted state of mind and make absolute cocks of ourselves overseas

does any one on here know any cheap places to stay at falls? im talking super budget nothing fancy, just a bed and some cooking facilities, for 4 people.
any help or suggestions would be sweet, cheers :)

bradlie if you want to stay their super cheap between 4 of you your probably better off staying down in mt beauty and driving up or at bogong village which is half way up the hill to falls...cant think of anything off the top of my head thats super cheap on the mount which isnt private/member only lodges

maybe this will help

What resorts are still taking job apps? I know Threds is closed and hotham/falls has fuck all.

Anyone know about bawbaw/selwyn? Not keen on buller lol..

fuck yeah plenty of night work, so would you recommend just winging it and heading over without planning anything? i like doing random adventures but dont want to head over and get fucked round.. say if i learn a little japanese before it shouldnt be too hard to find cash in hand jobs?

and has anyone done or knows anyone who has gone through boobooski? i was checking some videos about it and one guy said to not waste your visa if your only doing it for 3 months over uni.. i may just buy a one way ticket over and try find some cash in hand jobs and if i get stuck just buy a ticket home..

yeah, i would definitely try to learn some jap before heading over.. i wish i did..

when i was there, it seemed like every second bar had signs in the window wanting staff
i dont know how much they care about working visas and whatnot.. but if things are the same next season as they were last season, you'll have no trouble finding a job

yeah, i wouldn't waste your visa for 3 months.. not worth it

if you're buying a one way ticket, they are probably going to ask alot of questions.. and you dont really want that
i would get a return flight for an 89 day stay, and then if you have to leave early, change the flight dates

Thredbo will have a bigair bag this season.
hype!
