Just used the snow guarantee at the Arlberg for this weekend frown

I do have a backup plan if things change dramatically by Friday smile

if it's like falls, many independent accommodation places have the snow guarantee. you have to check your intended place specifically. if they have a website it should be there, or a brochure, or ring/email them. clubs are less likely to have it

What accommodation booking is covered by the Snow Guarantee?

Is it only accommodation booked at Mt Hotham through the Hotham Holidays service?

toboggan runs way more dangerous than skiing

whilst it was fun, the one at wire plain last year was carnage

Did you notice the poles on the left hand side of the dp poma for tobaggons, carnage waiting to happen. That little pitch will need a hospital. [/quote]

Yes, I was thinking the same thing myself - most times whilst tobogganing down that slope it is never in a straight line.
Might have to pull up a deck chair and be entertained! laugh

[quote=bdenny4]Was a top weekend up at DP - didn't go to any of the dinners / lunches, but enjoyed walking the village with the dog and catching up with familiar faces. Weather was brilliant for those pursuits - now some white stuff is needed.

I try and keep away from the baby fennel myself, it has a nasty habit of creating gas

A couple of changes since last season in the food scene - hope it all works out.
Snowstuff setup looks good too.

Road up was jaw dropping - spooky even in the aftermath of the fires & landslides.
I have decided that if there is any hint of inclement weather on the days I am due to travel up, I will elect to go via Omeo. From my place it's only an extra half an hour.

Looking forward to some fun times this season

My lost/stolen mobile device had a great top-to-bottom run at Stevens Pass on it. Apart from my contacts, it was the only thing I was really unhappy about.

Apologies for the offence. I'll just get back in my fully sick Subie and head on back to Broadie.

Gee whiz. Sorry to offend. In our house, resto is the French abreviation. We dont live in The west, are of reasonable intelligence and dont generally wear baseball caps (except at the dinner table). Of course we wouldn't be ashamed of any of these things were the contrary true, you fg snob.

Was at that dinner. That was one of half dozen courses. Can't rate it highly enough. Do yourself a favour and treat yrself to meal at Graze this winter. Lucky to have high quality restos at DP this year!

How many landslides will it take before the GAR becomes more like the Perisher Expressway?

Popped in today, its ugly up there.





But i think we all knew that.

They work they did on the road for the land slide was massive, so much of that must have let go. Im impressed they got it fixed. They have also done a whole lot of tree clearing too. Given how sparse the trees are, i get the feeling there might be a slide or 2 this year in other places.
3/6/13 - 2:34pm
The road is in good nic, just watch some of the exposed areas where the tree have been felled as now subject to more ice.
Yesterday morning come down some felled trees slid and blocked the road for half an hour. Ongoing issue for a while imo.
3/6/13 - 1:47pm
Our daughter drove over the top last night and said the road was all good.
3/6/13 - 12:57pm
Does anyone know if all the rain they have had recently has impacted the roadworks?
Vicroads doesn't show any new notices.
