        I voted for both. I haven't been to the snow before and I don't want to pay $150 to hire gear so this is a bargain for me.

    I wonder whether stores outside of TAS, VIC and NSW will get much? Or if they get tonnes, I wonder whether they'll have to discount it all to get rid of it.

        Good luck! - both with Aldi Perth stocking ski gear (if they do, it will end up in the discount bin), and with decent snow on Buller.

        If you are going to fly thousands of km to ski, why not go a bit further to Japan or NZ? Or at least Thredbo etc!

        • King Steuart on 09/05/2017 - 14:32

          Buller bought a $1.6M machine from Italy for this season, but i think it's just for Bourke street

        • SaberX on 09/05/2017 - 15:46

          I've only ever gone to Buller first time (2014, got hooked) - 15 I went to whistler (Vancouver) - even more hooked, and by my 3rd trip snowboarding I did a few days in Hakuba (japan). I agree, the Buller paled in comparison after, but heck for someone from Perth any snow is a godsend. You take it for granted when you live within driving distance haha.

          I too would be curious for some 'snow' gear for the parents and mrs (we're heading to Sapporo - will only get two days to snowboard but better than nothing). I am also worried Aldi perth wouldn't stock this either given we're nowhere near snow. Do aldi discriminate on stock selection based on geography?

          p.S. I heard NZ is great. but isn't it real expensive?

          @SaberX: In my limited experience, NZ is about the same price as Australia, the snow is marginally better, but not heaps. You're better off going to the northern hemisphere.

          I work at an Aldi store in Perth and I can say that we will be getting everything in and plenty of stock of it all. The management over here are expecting it to be just as crazy busy as the east coast but in my opinion I dont think it will be.

        I agree with manic. Victoria's snow isn't great and Mt Hotham and Falls Creek are at least better than Mt Buller. If you can, change your trip to one of those two Victorian locations.

      I've been boarding for quite a few years now (still not that good) but I don't see anything wrong the Aldi gear, I've never had any problems with mine. It's held up just as well as branded gear. Never had any tears, and no major issues with heat or water.

    • JimB on 09/05/2017 - 16:47

      I think I got some Aldi jacket last year, equal to the stuff I previously purchased from the Surf Dive and Ski, just much cheaper.

      It doesn't really bother me, going to the snow is expensive in Australia.

      Plus we only go a couple of days a year.

  • Kuro on 09/05/2017 - 14:17

    • kale chips suck on 16/05/2017 - 22:26

      Get the merino thermals. Bloody cheap for what you get, & very warm. Personally I wouldn't worry about the rest just for combating 'ordinary' cold.

        Ha, I doubt you ever see the best in Aldi. It's pretty rough and tumble even on a normal day. Watch them open a new register and see what happens.

        On topic, I've seen these jackets and I'm like…..meh. They're kinda crunchy. The only thing I think is genuine value at the snow sale is merino wear, other than that, you get what you pay for.

        • King Steuart on 09/05/2017 - 14:34

          Maybe they should hire a shitkicker 14 year old in every store and pay them peanuts to have an extra register open even when not in high demand. The guy that serves me at my local is like 50.

      Buy this. Even if it costs you a little extra, you get to have your own, new, gear, you're not wearing the clearance stock from 2014 that got recycled into hire gear.

      If you can get your own boots then even better. Having good fitting boots is THE most important thing (IMO).

      • plasmapuff on 09/05/2017 - 18:46

        Thanks mate. What would be your basic gear list?

        • violin on 10/05/2017 - 07:36
          +4

          Must own: Gloves, goggles, beanie, scarf/face mask
          If committed to skiing: Ski boots, ski jacket, ski pants
          If very committed: Everything else

          Tips:
          1. Don't forget to bring and wear sunscreen, lip balm and moisturiser.
          2. Wear layers, not one thick thing. You can get very warm even in Japan, especially for all the falling and getting back up you do as a beginner! Skis are heavy to carry, too.
          3. I layer one pair of long thin socks inside and thick socks outside. Keep my toes warm.

          @Ughhh:
          If snowing heavily and skiing, goggles with low light lenses can help keep your face dry and less cold. But just walking around when it's sunny, sunnies I think would be enough.

          Always ski with a helmet, there's no excuse not to. I used to ski without one back in the 80's and 90's but I love my helmet now, much warmer, keeps my goggles in place and presumably safer if i fall over. I cant think of a single reason to ever go back to skiing in a beanie.

          @VickiePumpkin: I took my Helmet to Niseko in Japan, there were folks skiing without helmets but I didnt feel like I stood out from the crowd too much. My main complaint with Niseko was that apart from a few school groups the place was full of drunken aussies, felt like 'Snow Bali'. In the US and Canada almost everyone had a helmet aside from the few obviously 'counter culture' fashion conscious boarders for whom a beanie, oversized pants and a jacket made to look as if it is a hoodie or flannel shirt seemed to be the prescribed uniform. In Europe most people had helmets but there were the obvious 'old school' types.

        +1000 re: good fitting boots. I skied in Europe on two different one week trips last year (France and Austria), and rented gear on both occasions. Both times, it wasn't until the 3rd day of skiing I was able to get a proper fitting pair of ski boots, and by then my feet were aching and bloodied, and I'd spent half the week in pain while skiing. If you're gonna own only one bit of ski gear, make it properly fitted boots.

        • macrocephalic on 10/05/2017 - 09:43

          Yeah, I've had trips where I felt completely uncoordinated, and in pain all the time - it turns out it was just having boots which didn't fit well. Once I got nicely fitted ones every thing became easier.

      You are going to need a warm jacket getting around japan in January anyway, at the snow or elsewhere. I would recommend a decent shell jacket and then you decide which layers to wear underneath based upon how cold things get.

      Snow Sh!t

  • freddofrog42 on 09/05/2017 - 15:14
    +4

    Always been very happy with Aldi ski gear. I did a full winter season in Chamonix back in 2007 and it survived just as well as my wife's mega expensive stuff - she was a ski instructor. We also decided to take up snowboarding from scratch on her off days so it got a full beating that way too.

    This was the year that Aldi also did snowboards for $199 and it was quite a laugh starting off at the top of the Aiguille des Grands Montets using such good value gear.

    The only problem I had was that the shoulder "cap/pad" or whatever you call it come loose from carrying skis every day - an easy stitch job.

    Other comments in general re ski clothing:-

    Don't wear too much too soon, it's easy to overheat, particularly when you're a beginner and then you sweat lots, get dehydrated etc etc.
    Often a fleece is fine, perhaps tied with a light windproof. Pay attention to the weather forecast! Take a backpack if in doubt for spare clothing and some water.
    Wear layers rather than single bulky items.
    Googles are essential in some conditions but many find their view restricting. I use sunnies 90% of the time, Aldi often have sunnies aimed at cyclists for $10 that come with 3 sets of lens.

    • 2ndeffort on 10/05/2017 - 13:56

      I skied at Chamonix in jan 16. My mate was skiing in some Aldi trousers. We had a day there where it rained non-stop all day. As it was day 1 of the ski trip and having come all the way from Australia we stuck it out until lunchtime. My mate's Aldi pants were soaked through to the skin and he refuse to leave the cafe, I had some Goretex pants on and was OK. Clearly my pants cost much more than his Aldi stuff did but people should understand that conditions dictate the best equipment. For the right conditions Aldi stuff is good value for $$, I have also skied Backcountry in Canada, Japan and Colorado and i wouldnt risk my life on the weather changing out there to an Aldi jacket.

  • Kossac on 09/05/2017 - 15:30

    is this stuff actually any good? like quality wise, how does it compare to say Gortex gear.

    • freddofrog42 on 09/05/2017 - 15:41
      +1

      Gore-Tex is a fabric rather than a brand of gear - it's aimed at allowing sweat to escape whilst preventing water ingress.

      Personally I've never found it to work for me. I've also sweated a lot no matter how fat/thin/fit and it just didn't cope. Everyone is different though.

      In light rain/snow I just use a fleece coated with a water-proofing agent like Nikwax.

    • [Deactivated] on 09/05/2017 - 15:55

      The gear is decent, but the shit-show at the store is awful.

      You can normally find another snow gear clearance, which will get you snow gear at a decent price. It might not be the latest season or best style, but who cares, if your on a budget.

      Last year,I think their premium pants and jackets had a rating of 20K which is on the higher end of the scale. Goretex is about 28K if I remember. I know one brand that does 40K.
      Standard stuff from Burton and other major brands are only 10K.
      I have a pair of their premium pants as spare but never used. The material isn't as soft and nice to wear but expected for the price u less you get brand name stuff at a good sale.

    Any experiences with standard vs premium?

    • 8azinga on 09/05/2017 - 16:37

      The premium pants aren't insulated so you may need to wear an extra layer underneath. The premium jacket had a removable liner for colder days which makes it more versatile.

        I was fine with a merino wool base layer down to -20 C on the mountain.

    Why does kids ski gloves cost more than adult ones?? Anyone else find this odd?

    Thermo boots good for general wet weather/winter use? I need a pair of waterproof shoes for the cold and wet days.

      I use some for early morning dog walking when the grass is still wet. Good to keep your feet dry & warm, but the soles aren't very hard wearing, so I wouldn't recommend them if you do a lot of walking on asphalt or concrete as they will wear out pretty quick.

      U need spikes if ur walking on ice. These shoes are not good for walking on ice. They are good for keeping ur feet warm and snow out of your shoes, since they are high cuts.

        Im talking about using them in the city, not snow.

      Get some water resistant hiking boots that are above ankle. Whatever brand suits you. I have a pair of Colombia ones (not a hardcore super expensive brand) which I got from anaconda, which I reapply a water proofing spray to, and they work fine for wet weather (water beads off them), cold and snow. I wore them while walking through snow at Hotham with thick wool socks and they were fine.
      Not only that, but you can use them when actually hiking, obviously.

    First aldi snow sale for me. Do different stores receive different stock levels? Have 2 stores close, 1 at a major shopping centre and the other at a smaller suburban type centre. Was thinking the smaller one may be better due to less people unless the bigger store gets a lot more stock.
    Thoughts?

      Each Aldi has a dedicated 'specials' area, which differs in size depending on store. That same floorspace will be used to stock whatever is on special that week, and this would include the snow gear. If you check now and compare the size of this weeks specials, you can make a rough judgement on stock levels.

      As a special note, the Aldi at Cooma always has like 10x (exaggerated) the amount of gear compared to any other Aldi, since its on-route from Sydney to the Snowy Mtns. It has plenty of stock even with huge numbers of people sweeping the stores all the time. That said they still do run low if you're late to the party.

    I've seen a few Gumtree ads for Brand New gear for a fraction of these prices. People who bought from ALDI but never used. Try that first

  • Kkuba on 10/05/2017 - 07:54

    Can anyone, very simply, explain the difference between:

    • Jacket
    • Soft shell jacket
    • Premium ski shell jacket?

    I'm pretty sure I bought the Jacket last year, but now I'm wondering if I purchased the right thing for me. I won't actually find out for myself until this coming season though.
