Frequently Asked Questions 

 

Q. When is the trip?

6th - 13th July 2024. 

Q. Can I still sign up?

You're keen, and we're stoked about that! Head to our membership page to sign up for 2024!

Q. Where is the trip?

Mt. Hotham, Victoria. We organise buses to take the group over. Please contact us if you have questions or comments regarding the location of the trip.

Q. What if I'm not 18 in time for the trip?

Unfortunately club policy is that all trip attendees must be 18 by the trip dates. If the trip is on the 6th but you turn 18 on the 8th unfortunately you will not be able to attend the trip. Don't fret! AUSKI has been a club since 1967, so there's always next year!

Q. How much does it cost?

Membership to the club is $15. This fee is to cover administration costs and ensures the viability of the club. Many dedicated volunteers work for free to run this non-profit club for your enjoyment.
The full details on costs will be released shortly. As a committee we want to stress that we do our very best to find the cheapest and best options to suit a trip of such a nature and luckily because there are so many of you snow-lovers we get an awesome group discount which all trip attendees directly benefit from. 

Q. What is included in the trip cost?

  • Transportation to and from the mountain (bus)

  • 5 nights accomodation

  • Breakfast and dinner

  • Lessons from qualified ski instructors on the mountain

  • Lift passes

  • Ski and snowboard hire

  • Themed nights + parties and activities on the mountain

  • Life long friends you will definitely make!

Q. How do I become a member?

Click 'Membership' at the top of this page. Please note the difference between 'student' and 'non-student' memberships, 'student' refers to those currently enrolled at The University of Adelaide. 'Non-student' refers to non-uni students or students from other universities. 

Q. Can I come on the trip if I am NOT a student at Adelaide Uni or don't go to Uni?

Yes! We have many non-AU students and non-students join us. An extra insurance fee must be paid by non-AU students and non-students through purchasing an Adelaide University Sports Association membership (AU Sport). This is necessary to cover you for any injuries or other incidents that may occur on the trip. 

Q. What if I have to take a supplementary exam?

This year we have eliminated the need to cancel if you have a supplementary exam! We have moved the trip a week back for you to enjoy the ski trip even if you have a supplementary exam. However, if you are at all concerned the trip may impact your sup exam, please get in contact with us ASAP!

Q. What happens if I change my mind?

If you change your mind you must give us enough notice, as we deem suitable, and we can only give you a refund if we find someone to replace you. All refunds are subject to AUSKI's T&Cs which can be found here.

Q. What happens if I have dietary requirements?

You will be prompted to fill out a medical form when purchasing your trip deposit, please fill in the necessary sections that relate to your requirements.

Q. Can I do both skiing and snowboarding on the trip?

Yes, we want you to get the most out of your trip! There may be an extra swap over fee which you will need to pay yourself to the hiring company on the mountain. It is usually a small fee and we can provide a definite cost closer to the trip. 

Q. What is the payment plan?

Details of what members will need to bring on the trip will be discussed at ITINERARY night (date TBA).
