- If you have a vehicle with over 9 seats, you will be required to complete a bus manifest and pay a per person fee. Book the Resort Entry "Mini Bus - Adult Passenger" product for each person in the vehicle. For vehicles over 12 seats, follow the Tour Groups procedure.

The best approach for staying off hill is to buy Day Entry for each day you plan to visit. This means you can catch the free Day Carpark Shuttle to the Village (or Northside Express if snow permits) rather than purchasing a Ride Share from the overnight carpark each day, as shuttles do not connect to the overnight carparks.
