The Maroubra Ski trip – Lets go!

23-25 Aug 2024

Hey Snow Bunnies,

Ski trip is on and we will be leaving Maroubra beach 12:30am (yes very very early morning) Friday 23rd August and bussing it direct to Perisher, parking at Smiggins and spending all day on the slopes, staying at Jindabyne Friday & Sat night, Skiing Perisher/Smiggins on Saturday and bus home on Sunday 25th Aug (detailed basic itinerary attached – click on the attach /paperclip icon).

The idea behind the trip is to reward our patrolling members who have achieved 100% proficiency, but everyone is invited. See below list of priority placements and costs for each category. Please note that ALL members MUST be financial for 2024/25 season so quick jump onto www.surflifesaving.com.au/members and sort that out first – you should have already received your invoice to renew and pay.

This is a popular trip – for beginners to expert riders, its awesome fun so spots will fill up fast, to secure your spot please ensure your SKI TRIP ticket is purchased and you complete the attendance survey asap. ENROLMENT CLOSES 6th AUG

Hopefully most of your questions will be answered when you read the attached code of conduct, itinerary and the care and safety procedures, all members and guests should make themselves aware of the clubs expectations while you are away.

No discount for self drive unless the bus is full! Kids under 14 years of age may only take part in the ski trip if in the care of a parent member that is also attending the ski trip. The parent member will be solely responsible for their own child while on the slopes – and only if there is availability after priority placement.
