    Apparently this is one of the busiest sales Aldi does all year (got a friend who works for Aldi), so might be worth getting in early if you're looking for something specific.

      • RI4V4N on 09/05/2018 - 09:29

        They have a ton of stock so usually stuff won't sell out in any size on day one.

        • ATangk on 09/05/2018 - 09:32

          Aldi at Cooma has more stock than any Aldi and they still run out, but unlikely on day one as you say.

        • RI4V4N on 09/05/2018 - 09:35

          @ATangk: yeah. I usually head in like one or two hours after the store has opened. It's busy but there is no pushing or shoving.

        • Quantumcat on 09/05/2018 - 09:52

          Depends what item, I wanted glove liners and a balaclava one year, went on at 11am and they were all gone. The next year I lined up and got them, but nearly didn't. Popular things will disappear like jackets in average sizes, boots in normal sizes etc.

          @ATangk: based on experience in previous years, they send the unsold stock to the Cooma store. You may not want to risk buying stuff on the way to the snow in the July school holidays but it’s worked out OK a couple of times for my family.

      I had a blended bottle of 25y a few years ago which was about the same price which I got as a gift. It was very nice so I wouldn't hesitate to try a 25y single, but I wouldn't expect a $100 bottle to exceed any of the more expensive, big distillery 18y examples (FWIW, highland 18 is my jam).

      Amazing that they are able to purchase and supply a 25y single at this price point. Not sure if it's a case of pure buying power, or it being a less desirable product…

      I bought a ski jacket last year for a 10 year old and the zip broke just outside the 60 days refund period.

      I sent a copy of the receipt and an image of the useless jacket to their head office and the head office response was (paraphrased) "we don't refund in these circumstances, suggest you try your local store manager"

      So we tossed it.

      • RI4V4N on 09/05/2018 - 09:32
        +8

        See I'm the opposite. Have had an aldi ski jacket for about three years, used it for skiing and on hikes a lot. Nothing is broken.

        Remember the set out aldi 60 day refund period is in addition to your rights under australian consumer law. Considering you don't buy a jacket and expect it to last 60 days and the zip not closing the central part of the jacket would be a major failing of the product, they would more than likely need to replace it or fix it. If not possible they can opt to give you a refund instead.

      • WatchNerd on 09/05/2018 - 09:37
        +6

        The 60 days is a satisfaction guarantee period, it has nothing to do with Aus Consumer Law which would have covered you for a full refund. Aldi Returns Policy

        I'm also still using my ski jacket from 2016 sale both snow seasons and planning to use it this year too. The inner jacket is so thin and warm I wear it without the shell pretty regularly for shop trips and errands I the winter.

    • BadGiraffe on 09/05/2018 - 09:38

      I've only heard the stories. I've managed to find a jacket my size a few days after the start of the sale. Maybe not the exact model I want, but it was light enough for daily wear, and probably heavy enough for wearing in the snow.

    • wittyusername on 10/05/2018 - 08:41

      I went to one in Mirrabooka (WA - pretty low income area) last year. Everyone was lined up before the store opened (maybe 50 or so people), we got in and everyone was friendly and would pass you back stuff if you couldn't reach. I'm sure results vary store to store but I was pleasantly surprised, the news always blows these out of proportion.

    any advise if it's a good value, maybe somebody got one from a previous sale?

    • [Deactivated] on 09/05/2018 - 10:20

      For these prices and Australian climate you can't expect 100% down feathered shell like you get with other brands like feathered friends etc.

      You'll easily pay $600 sale price or even over $1000 for a down shell. Such as these:

      Not only that you will boil in even our coldest winter day.

      Without me researching, the Aldi ones are 20k/20k and I highly doubt SuperDry can provide you the same specs at that price.

    • 8azinga on 09/05/2018 - 13:21

      If you mean the superdry jacket from the deal a couple of days ago, it will wet out very quickly if it rains or you fall a lot. They are splashproof at best

    I feel like the Aldi Ski Sale is a social experiment in brainwashing. Aldi have successfully convinced the little people en masse via A Current Affair that they need to fill their cupboard with ski gear they'll probably never use. And then buy it all again the following year because they changed up the colours.

    • wkd on 09/05/2018 - 11:59

      depends how often it rains.

      if it rains a lot then i'd get the 20k/20k

    • 8azinga on 09/05/2018 - 13:17
      +1

      Premium has a higher waterproof rating of 20K vs 10K for normal. The premium is a shell jacket with a removable liner for insulation. The normal has insulation built in to the jacket so the premium is more versatile and can be used as a rain jacket without the liner for other activities when it is warmer.

      • georgesc on 09/05/2018 - 13:25

        thanks for that bit of info! and assuming you got one,
        any comment on the actual quality/usability of it on normal daily scenarios (not during snow activities)

        • 8azinga on 10/05/2018 - 09:34

          Havent got one but thought about buying a premium pant as a back up. Also, the removable insulation only applies to the jacket. The premium pant is just a shell and has no insulation.
          Quality looks good from what I've seen in store and read on forums.

          I have used a similar jackey on a hike when it got cold. In sydney, I'd only use it if I needed to be outside in the rain.

      • simulacrum on 09/05/2018 - 15:18

        also higher breathability from memory

  • hazoir on 09/05/2018 - 12:16

    If you there an hour after opening, the left overs are usually shell jackets (with reduced cold/water proofing), apres boots, sleds, random odd sizes in most items.
    Helmets and goggle go instantly. Beware of 6 member families descending on an ALDI… they will split up, and target everything at once.

      I did this last year. Didn't need anything too special. Just the usual layers. Skiing during the day I only needed a spray jacket and a polar fleece t-shirt (sportsdirect $7..they are great. Only wore my actual ski jacket snowboarding at night, but left it open. Still haven't found a time to wear Aldi thermals. Nights were -5. Trackies were fine in the camper. Mornings are when u feel the cold but it was never that bad. Put the stove on and cooked bacon n eggs. Great trip. NOTE. It only rained once dumped and was never windy, so that would change things. It was a great trip, great people, great scenery. Park somewhere protected. Get a van with shower n toilet and park wherever u want.

    • Jdb on 11/05/2018 - 08:39
      +1

      I think fit, snowboarding is puffy and longer.

      Google says: The main difference between a ski jacket and a snowboard jacket is the fit. Snowboard jackets are a lot looser than ski jackets and tend to be longer in length. The extra length helps keep you warmer when you are sitting in the snow strapping your board on.

  • Sammyboy on 10/05/2018 - 14:12

    Googles are crap. Probably the first thing you will upgrade if you decide you like skiing or snowboarding and go a few times yearly. Lens quality and clarity is poor. Soft shell pants soak up water like a sponge. If you are just starting/beginner and spend most of your time falling and sitting on your butt, do not get these, as these will soak though within 1 to 2 hours. Gloves are terrible. Helmets are good value. The premium jackets and pants are very good value. Will last 2 to 3 seasons easily.

  • Jdb on 11/05/2018 - 08:36

    Hi, can someone please help wth what an outfit per person would be? Is it:
    - Ski jacket + pants + thermals or
    - Ski Shell + ‘mid layer’ aka jumper + pants + thermals?

    Are they they choices (in other words does a “ski jacket” not need the mid layer?) and what’s the deal with soft shell vs ski shell?

    Plus I assume gloves, goggles, beanie etc, boots (and helmet if you don’t want to hire)?

    Skiing for the first time in NZ for a week, we re having a few indoor lessons before we go but expect no skill ha ha

    • 2ndeffort on 11/05/2018 - 09:11
      +3

      Yep you've pretty much nailed it. If you wear a shell jacket you can customise what you wear underneath. Colder day you can wear a couple of layers. Warm day on the hill you can wear a thermal top or even just a t-shirt underneath. Insulated jacket you normally dont need much underneath, even on cold days but obviously that is a relative assessment. Ive skied in Canada the US at -15 where it's been cold enough to need a few layers even under the insulated jacket. I dont know what these Aldi jackets are like but most of my insulated jackets have 'Pit Zips' (zips in the armpits) that you can unzip on a hot day to dump some heat. Insulated jackets tend to be more popular with the resort skiing crowd and most people tend to wear just a thermal top underneath. Shell jackets tend to be more popular with backcountry skiers who tend to prefer the ability to change-up the layers underneath to suit the conditions. There are no coffee shops or ski lodges to duck into if the weather gets gnarly the Backcountry.

    Small word of warning for Snow Newbs. Pretty much only snow newbs wear those ridiculous snow/apre boots at the main ski resorts. 99% of people wear sneakers/boots/outdoor/hiking shoes etc. All of the cool kids at the pubs are normally wearing soaked sneakers. Wearing the Apre boots is like painting a sign on your chest that says I am new to the snow. I am sure there's a grizzled old 40 year ski instructor somewhere that loves the things but by and large few regular skiers and boarders buy those Apre boot things.

    Had no trouble at the St Kilda, Melbourne store this morning. Was there to line up at 7:45 am and the first person in the store, about 100+ people at the opening time. Got more than what I planned to get. The crowd was very well behaved, helping each other for sizes and reaching out to grab things that were out of reach. Lots of stock left when I was leaving just before 9:45 am, so people who came in after store opening also got plenty. Nothing like I've heard before about this sale and its hype.

    I'm super pleased with everything I bought and it was all mostly cheaper than to rent (except pant & jacket) and rest was the basics.

    Unfortunately, I'm only 152 cm tall and the ski pants are quite long for me, so might have to return :(

I was surprised there was still some left though, albeit odds and ends sizes. Found a nice Ski jacket with 12k waterproof/10k breathability - pretty happy with the fit and specs. Wasn't planning on getting anything but now have a nice coat for wet weather.

    So, don't fret if you couldn't get in early, you might still find something.

    Went in today unaware I would find anything and walked out with pants, gloves, goggles, Merino top. Plenty of stock and jackets left. All ready for winter gardening now
