LOCATION/DESCRIPTION: Snow trip to Mt Skene via the Jamieson Licola rd. Activities will be dictated by the amount of
snow but hopefully some interesting driving and an opportunity for tobogganing. We will have a go at building an igloo if
there is enough interest. Sunday will be home via Mt Terrible to Marysville by approx 3pm.
Accommodation is up to each participant to book for themselves. The Hotel has rooms that were available for this
weekend. There is also the caravan park and some local b&bs.
We will arrive at the pub about 9pm on Friday night. Let me know if you will arrive on Saturday morning but be there
before 8:30.
You should bring chains and know how to fit them. If you are not sure ask for help before we head up the mountain. If we
have heavy snow then we will need to do some recoveries so bring all the toys with you. We will run low tyre pressures if
the snow is soft and you will need a compressor or a mate with one.
Bring your cameras, toboggan, wet gear and plastic bags to put all the wet shoes and clothes.
I recommend layering up clothing to keep warm.
If we build an igloo it is mandatory to go inside it and have your photo taken!
MEETING ADDRESS: Meeting point is out the front of the Court House hotel in Jamieson @ 8:30 Saturday morning.
Please make sure you have a full tank of fuel or at least sufficient for 400km. The distance covered (from Jamieson) will
only be approx 250km but (hopefully) some will be in low range.
