Went up for a bit of a look at all the snow that had fallen last week and was totally surprised by the amount and quality. A very good day of skiing was had in dry(ish) snow! Had a bit of fun with the suby in the snow a swell:p

Brrrr, actually think the snow fell in April ?

Gees, Thomas your L DOES look good! Almost thought you'd gone up in a Pug, didn't realise you'd done the job. Are they the hard to find 390mm or the 14 inchers?

take a shot of the damage from the woman driver? Gonna show us ???

Very good! My brother was excited to hear there was skiable snow when we got back from kokoda - he then went canoeing near Mt Isa in some comp.

From what he heard from his mates who work in the snow with him Mt Buller was opening for weekend skiing from last weekend. And apparently Mt Hotham had 40cm of snow! That's skiable for sure...

I really hope its going to be a bumper year, I'm headed to Hotham late August, just hope if it is a bumper season we don't get snowed out!

I'm taking Ruby Scoo again but will swap the welded for the open on that trip

Cheers

The 390mm are not particularly hard to find and fairly cheap to, but you do not want them because of the tyre issue. The 14"ers are fairly easy to get a hold of to. Have a look in the for sale parts section of http://www.aussiefrogs.com .

Neither, they are the 15"ers. 390mm are the metric versions and then there are the 15" imperial versions.
