  • Tip for anyone going to the snow for the first time and likely to spend time actually IN the snow and getting a bit wet (or making the most of your day no matter how miserable the conditions get) - get the 20,000mm stuff.
    It's not much more expensive than the 12,000mm but you will stay much drier for longer.

    Shame the colours are a bit boring, but the quality is pretty good (at least it has been in past years) - especially for the price.

    • Fully agree! They last pretty well, great value for money and better to spend a little more to get the better waterproofing/breathable stuff

    • Agreed on the colours especially for men, they always cycle between boring colours black, dark grey or dark blue

    • Dont need waterproofing if you never fall. At least I've learnt that from all the guys wearing full fluffy costumes at the snow.

    • Most snow brands are pretty bland these days. Aldi has always been bland in adult gear, I mainly stick to the pants, still rocking a pair from 15 years ago.

      Was wanting to get a new jacket before a Japan trip last year and everything is plain or beige. Harder to find colour or patterns.

      • Yes I learnt to ski in the fluoro days of the eighties and early nineties. Soon to be Mrs entropy had bright yellow/green gaiters over her boots, super tight leggings and a shiny white jacket with neon pink and green and yellow highlights tightly gathered at the waist. Those were the days.

    • I would also suggest..find a way to identify your family, cos there will be so many people in the same gear

  • Anyone used these for hiking in alpine environments? Or any recs?

    • They're fairly heavily insulated so not great for hiking. Look for a technical shell instead and set up a 3-4 layer system. Eg technical shell jacket, Macpac nitro, fleece or lightweight puffer, merino base layer.

      • Not sure about the current versions, but a few years ago the premium (20,000mm) ones were more of a shell with a zip-out warm layer, but the 12,000mm ones had all the layers stitched in.

        For pure hiking or other active sports, there are better (but more expensive) options than the premium Aldi shell. But as a starting point, the Aldi one is still a great buy (as long as the new version can be made into shell-only format). You can then use the warm layer it comes with or swap out for your own preferred layers.

        • last year the premium jacket was an insulated parka style not a shell unfortunately. I don't think that style is coming back this year

          • @DJR9000: What a shame.
            I am a t-shirt and shell person. Upgrade to long sleeve t-shirt when it gets blizzardy. Get too hot and stuffy with anything extra :-)

            • @clintdb: mid-late september when it's 11 degrees and you can go in a t shirt and shorts is the best skiing sometimes… till it turns to wet slush instead of fun slush

              • @DJR9000: Yep - that's the point I take the shell in the backpack (or around the waist), just in case the wind picks up and makes it a bit chilly :-)

          • @DJR9000: My wife and I got the premium jacket + pants this year but yes, they are just padded parkas and seem not as good as our older Aldi premium gear which was a vest + shell. :(

  • Wish aldi sold lift passes. Have all the gear but can't afford to go up any of Australia's extremely overpriced ski mountains!

    • I register an account to vote this

    • Unfortunately, it's a giant monopoly.

      Prior to COVID - I could get a lift pass for $135 a day including the train up and down. It was $240 last year. Almost 100% increase in 5 years.

      The only way to fix that is a joint effort from all of us to boycott the snow season.

      • last time I went to the snow you could get a scoopon/groupon for $99 a night at the station per person (minimum of 2 people), which included a lift ticket.

        • That wouldve been out 10 years ago right? I remember that deal. Absolute bargain.

    • From the linked source:

      Looking for a winter escape to match your new gear? ALDI Holidays is offering 5-nights at the Stillwell Hotel Charlotte Pass from $999. The offer includes accommodation, breakfast and a 6-day lift pass for two (valued up to $2,400 per person). Learn more about the fresh deal here.

      Wish granted? 😂

      • That's actually a pretty good deal, ALDI does it again! And that RRP on the lift pass also proves the point, ridiculous inflation!

    • Cheaper to go to Japan

  • Legit question - is there anyway in VIC to go skiing as a family of 5 without spending an absolute fortune? Bonkers money for a single day at Buller……

    • Not downhill skiing. Cross country is another option though

    • Lift passes at some Japanese resorts are only ~$70 pp and some places kids lift pass are free.

      Cheaper to fly your family to Japan to ski than at home in Australia.

      • Definitely not the case…

        • Appikogen - kids elementary age get free lift pass

          • @xavster: The flight costs make the difference, not the skiing costs.

      • For those thinking about skiing Japan, avoid the touristy resorts, go to the local Japanese skiing mountains, stay at Ryokan inns. Use chatGPT for translations. You're welcome.

        Lift pass: ~$65/day
        Ryokan inns: ~$80/night
        Gear rental: $65/day (boots + board/ski)
        Food: ~$40/day

    • Agree. Boycott Mt bulla. Its ridiculous overpriced.

    • Epic just launched this product for this season: https://www.epicaustraliapass.com.au/passes/epic-beginner-bu…, 3 days with lessons and rental for $499 each and you can go to Falls or Hotham and maybe stay off mountain in Tawonga/Mt. Beauty/other near area.

      Otherwise Buller had midweek tickers for $140ish last season. Not cheap but it's the cheapest option and much quieter during the week. At least you can get up and back within the same day.

      • Actually I just read the conditions you don't get full mountain access but this might still be suitable depending on ability. I typically just buy the full pass.

      • Boo say no to Vail monopolisation

        • Yeah I mean I don't disagree with you but 3/5 mountains here are Vail owned and NZ has been terrible lately. I will be visiting Thredbo this year though so I'm saying yes to one independent mountain.

    • save. Go to NZ. Much better in all respects.

    • I was long time yearly, for 1-2 weeks, attendee of Falls Creek.

      My folks even lived in Tawonga South for a number of years and the free accommodation (and visiting the folks) was the only thing keeping me riding Aussie winters.

      We took our daughter for her first ski trip to Japan this year, even with staying in Niseko it was still cheaper and better than the equivalent in Australia. Thought about visiting some friends in Bright and timing it for a ski trip, nearly fell over seeing the daily ticket price. You can get 3 or more days in Japan and the snow is going to be significantly better.

      If I lived in Vic or southern NSW I'd be getting the early season pass which I think still pays itself within 7 days.

    • its an expensive activity, you might just want to go tobogganing

  • Side question, what is the best place to get the advanced view of aldi catalogues?

    I used to use best aussie markdowns on facebook but they have stoppped posting.

    Not sure i want to follow this mouth of mums group by the looks of it

  • ALDI size range really suck. They would do better with larger sizes.

    • Yeah I’m gonna be heartless and say I highly doubt someone who is morbidly obese is going to be doing snow sport or even spectating much.

      They know their market.

      • I don't call 3XL morbidly obese, lol. Besides, it's the same for all their clothes, not just sport gear.

        • A doctor probably would call it morbidly obese.

  • These used to sold out quickly until few years back. But last couple years they were available for lot more days and even further reduced prices. Cost of snow places entry and skiing prices gone high too much.

    • Yep easily get cheaper after a few weeks

  • There's nothing wrong with Aldi Ski Gear. Back in the day they even sold snowboards in Aus - we still have two of them. My wife was a BASI Instructor (Int Level) and for leisure we just used this kind of thing for a whole season at a time in Chamonix etc. I could match her on any slope but not as pretty but was used by BASI to "teach someone a lesson" from time to time but her technique destroyed mine..

    If you do fall you will get wet, ditto if you are trying too hard and sweat too much - both make you feel cold. If you don't fall then anything goes, I even used to use shorts and a fleece come Spring. Edit - space between top of boots and shorts is perhaps 200mm max and nothing to dry out in reality.

    The trick is not to overload in ALL the gear. Most people don't need thermals, at least in this Country. Places like Canada are different… If in doubt just pack some things into a light backpack. You'll probably want one for a phone, keys, wallet, purse etc - far more secure than jacket pockets..)

  • How much is a ticket lift these days.

    • $236 a day for perisher last year

  • I've been scoffed at by my friends for buying Aldi snow gear, but they (ski jacket and pants) are legit. I visited Svalbard last January, temperature ranged between -10 to - 20 degrees celcius and constant snow + wind. The jacket and pants kept me warm and dry!

    • Can't vouch for other Aldi snow equips but I had the Aldi snowboard jacket for 8 years now and still going strong, I've done at least one snow trip every year and at least 2-3 times in the last 2 years. Have used it in Thredbo/Perisher, Queenstown, Hakuba, Hokkaido, exactly what you've said, warm and dry.

  • Premium stuff and their base layers are good. Did probably 15 days on the hill at Perisher last year plus some backcountry in their premium pants and they are still in very good condition. Just remember to wash them properly and re apply waterproofing at some point with something like Nikwax .
    And it's not a bad idea to get an extra pair of gloves since they are cheap if you are taking kids , they are always losing gloves somehow

    • And if/when they get wet (leading to cold fingers), you can swap them out for a dry pair without spending time at a bathroom hand dryer.

  • It’s unlikely to be a good snow season. Long range forecast for winter is drier and warmer than average.

    • yeah, but snow guns. Not ideal but at least decent for making it less patchy

  • I hope they're doing the thermals too — good for motorcycling as well.

  • How's this compare to the arctix gear on Amazon? I see a lot of the larger sizes on resale for under $20 for pants.

  • Was going to pick up the ugg boots but they were snapped up by a few eager buyers who I think might be dealers as they were buying all sizes and grabbing what they could. Is there not a limit on how many pairs someone can buy?

  • No boot dryer this year.

  • Much less stock this year, I guess after last year they struggled to sell all of it it looks like the stocking levels have been reduced. Shame as I did want to get a pair of the premium pants and gloves for my son but by 11 my local store was out.

    • Bought a pair of pants in the morning at 9, but when I got home I found out they were broken… By the time I went to exchange it everything was gone.
