Doc Fraser hit the trails today and reported back that the skiing was definitely still good. The snow line was coming in near the water tanks but from there was able to have a good skate. The trails are currently not being groomed due to a bit of debris starting to appear but there remains good coverage around the upper muster and panarama region.
For the tobogganers, the home run remains in good shape and with snow making and temps getting down overnight it’s definitely worth getting up there early for the best of the conditions.
Down town in Marysville we’ve got Gemma out and about in the Cross Country Cafe Van. She’s a whiz with the latte art so put her to the test.
Cheers. Grego

Last Sunday Marysville played host to a couple of true sporting legends in Greg and Chris Evert Norman.
They were flown to the golf club via Lindsay Fox’s helicopter and spent an hour being chauffered around the town in a bus. They mingled with locals and showed genuine interest in the redevelopment of the township. With my love of golf and Lianne’s of tennis, we both managed to get a photo or two with our childhood idols.

Lianne made the nightly news giving Greg a kiss and now she says there’s another Greg in her life! Such a wonderful couple and to give up their first anniversary together in order to be with the people of Marysville says it all really.
The afternoon was spent at the Heritage Golf and country club where the Marysville and Triangle community were invited guests at a luncheon in a large marquee. Who should come out on stage for 3 songs but Simon and Garfunkel. Unbelievable! We had some fun with Hamish and Andy and enjoyed listening to Kate Ceberano and James Morrison. Also in attendance were Megan Gale, Wayne Arthurs, ‘Dipper’, John Brumby and others.

A huge thank you for their ongoing support for the Marysville and Triangle region must also go to Andrew Forest, Mick Best and the Fox family including Andrew and Fi. All were just so genuine and nice and a simple thank you doesn’t seem adequate.
What an amazing day and one that truly lifted the spirits of the people from Marysville and the triangle.

On Wednesday 1st July, a fire within the day centre of Lake Mountain caused significant damage to their hire shop. As a result, Lake Mountain management has issued a notice via their website that they are not able to hire any clothing or ski equipment until further notice, and that people travelling to Lake Mountain are advised to hire and/or purchase their snow gear from the Marysville shops.
That’s us. We have got heaps of new gear at great prices (and we’re cheaper than the mountain anyway) and will be hard pushed to run out of clothing and toboggans, so you won’t need to pre-book.
On a positive note…
It’s been snowing heavily for the last 24 hours and there’s a heap more forecast so should be a great weekend. Furthermore, it’s free entry up the mountain until services are returned to normal. Gotta love that!
