Where to for Beginner Skier?

[Foreigner]

If a complete beginner skier, I still think it would be best to drive for a weekend away in NSW or Victoria before venturing further afield.
I just checked some prices and 2 days lift pass, 2 x 2 hour lessons inc ski/boots/poles is $211 at Selwyn, $352 at Thredbo, $360 at Perisher.

If I had never been on skis and wanted to get a feel for it before shelling out big dollars this is what I would do. I appreciate others have a different view.
After many Aussie trips, multiple NZ trips and this years trip to Whistler, we are saving our points like crazy to go back to BC as it was amazing

Sounds sensible to me. Thanks everyone for feedback.

Fabulous price. I agree totally. Hard to beat especially with accommodation at Cooma for under $100 a night. Add the $27 per day park fee and bit of fuel from Sydney and it makes it an enjoyable weekend escape and given a nice covering of snow this year, would make a great introduction to the world's best winter sport!
