Hahaha, I can't see a road trip to Alaska. It'll be the week before the NSW school holidays, so hopefully we're missing the rush. When do ACT go on holidays?

I will def take you up on the snow chains and the toboggan, we're going to hire a 4WD big enough for all of us anyway. Perisher sounds like a good idea. I'm going to start stalking for accommodation deals. We might take a night in Canberra on the way there and back too (coffee anyone?).
