Only 2 more sleeps to go before the annual toboggan races at Lake Mountain and we are out to retain the title of the ski hire with the fastest toboggan for the third year in a row. As part of our cunning plan we have purchased an additional 46
super carve toboggans! These bullets are easily the fastest going around. Get in, shit down, shut up and hang on. If plan A of flooding the field doesn’t work then we may resort to waxing a few! Look out for these brand new boards just out of their boxes and grab one as you pass by the shop on Saturday.

Well the big dumps have continued throughout the week. Monday night saw Lake Mountain receive the biggest falls in Australia. The powder capital of Australia? Maybe not quite but pretty impressive all the same. Tomorrow falls are expected down to 700 mt which should see snow on the hills around town and with 35 cm currently on the groomed areas, how good is it going to be for the weekend?!

Sadness in town this week as the first of the 18 main street oaks that died in the fires was removed. However the local tree huggars can now rejoice as the replanting was carried out today with a like for like. Onwards and upwards.

Celebrity watch this week saw ex AFL Roo boy Mick Martyn in the shop getting kitted out with family for a day up the mountain. Yeah, you don’t look so tough these days with a 3 month old daughter in your arms Mick. Not that I was going to point this out to him as I handed him some pretty frigging big clothes to wear. Congratulations to Mick and family on the arrival of number 3 and thanks for the support.

Loads going on up the hill this weekend so get in early if possible. We’ll have extra staff on trying to get people through quickly and remember, keep the kids warm and dry and mum’s happy, and if mum’s happy then dad’s happy!

Cheers Grego.
