Skiing in Australia has gotten a lot more expensive.<\/strong> Between ever-increasing lift ticket prices, soaring lodging costs, and fees for driving to most resorts, a week of riding the slopes of Australia\u2019s snowy mountains might cost you a small fortune.<\/p>\n

So why is skiing Down Under so pricey?<\/strong> First and foremost, as is the story for many North American resorts, the cost of day passes has skyrocketed. At Perisher<\/a>, Australia\u2019s most visited and largest resort, those not looking to splurge on a season-long Epic Pass are forced to cough up $172 USD ($249 AUD) for a peak-rate single-day ticket at the window. That\u2019s more than double the price of a few decades ago, even when adjusted for inflation.<\/p>\n
