YHA Lodge
+61 3 5777-6181, (http://www.yha.com.au/hos...). the cheapest place to stay is in the alpine village, which leaves you more money for recreation and you'll need it! there are mainly 6-bed dorms, but after a hard day on the mountain you won't mind. it is located right next to the main chairlift. it is open from june-september only.
