But wait, there’s more….

Just when we all started packing up for the 2009 winter, 15cm of fresh snow has been dumped at Lake Mountain early this week. The ski trails are now in good shape and all toboggan runs are open and it looks like it should stick around for the weekend.

The other big news of the week is that Cross Country Ski Hire retained the title of having the fastest toboggans after a clean sweep in the open category at the annual toboggan race series last Saturday on Lake Mountain. The Wilkie family from Bacchus Marsh did us proud on our super carve toboggans. Dad and the young fella picked up the silverware. Well done guys. Minor places were also filled by a couple of dudes on our super carves. Photos coming soon.

My advice is to get up here early for one last crack, grab a supercarve toboggan and enjoy the best of the snow conditions before it gets too chopped up with the crowds.

Fat lady to sing at Lake Mountain this weekend?….

Posted by Greg at 6:06 pm

After a pretty frustrating season with above average temps and heavy rain, Lake Mountain appears set to pull the pin on the 2009 snow season this weekend. However, the toboggan race series planned for Saturday 22nd August will still go ahead. The mountain has been stock piling snow for the week and will lay it out on the village toboggan run for the event.

After supplying the winning toboggans for all races in 2008, we’re ready to give it another crack in 2009 with our fleet of super carves. Easily the fastest toboggan on the hill. Swing by the shop early as these bad boys will be in hot demand. I’ve got mine all waxed up!!!!!
