Lift Tickets

Lift tickets can be purchased through the Registration System and as such must be purchased by Tuesday 11 August.  All Lift passes include use of training courses and coaching from Race Department for two hours prior to each event or daily 2hr lessons (any level). 

LIFT PASS PRICES SLASHED!!

AUS has dropped the price of the 4 and 5 ½ day lift and race training/lesson passes to be even more competitive and reduce the cost to participants. These combination tickets are now cheaper than you purchase a lift only pass from Thredbo directly.

Option 1:               4 day Lift Pass and daily 2hr race training or lessons, Now $370 was $390. Now save over $120
Option 2:               5 ½ day Lift Pass and daily 2hr race training or lessons, Now $420 was $440. Now save over $130

For those student athletes that have a season pass for Thredbo we are offering you the opportunity to partake in event specific Race Training by purchasing a race training only pass. There are two options available depending on how many events you are competing in:

Option 3:               2hr Race Training only pass – Single Session, $40
Option 4:               2hr Race Training only pass – Unlimited Sessions, $100

These Race Training only passes can be purchased through the Registration System.

Accomodation and Transport

More information on accommodation and transport will be available soon.

Reduced National Park Entry

AUS has confirmed that through the support of the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service that they will offer a reduced National Park Entry Fee to all AUC Snow Sports competitors and team management.

Standard rates of $27 per car (from 1 to 8 people) or $11.45 per person per day are massively discounted to a flat rate of $3.60 per head. So for two people travelling in a car together the saving would equate to nearly $60 each if staying for 6 days.
