EOI VIC snow trip

[Winnie]

Well I think we're due for another meetup gents? And it is winter...... Vic High Country snow trip anyone!?
Not experienced in snow driving or anything related to snow really..... when would be the best time to go (when there is the most snow)? Next month some time? Where would be a good location? Maybe a Friday/Saturday night thing? I'm keen to give it a go! Who's in?
Suggestions of time/location?

[Bloodyaussie]

Think I might be up for this????

[Bloodyaussie]

I think I will say yes but my birthday is on the 18th Aug and if it is then and the boss wont come then I will be in trouble??

I think we all need a breather from the daily grind and meet up and do what we do well!!!!!!!!

[Winnie]

This can be your bday present!

[AB]

I have a couple of birthdays in August but should swindle something.

Yeh i'll do my best to stay more then a day but i need to save up over 1500 for my insurance so accessories i had planned on getting are on the back burner......

[threedogs]

FYI Beware of yellow snow,
The 4x4 club I'm in have "the nude tunnel ballers club" and do the snow trip once a year
Thought the Video was Pen and Teller lol re check it

[liftlid]

I'm in, need a couple of weeks to put bits back on my car, how hard do you want to go?, i'm happy to meet up at a campground (swag trip) south of lake Eilden Friday night then head for the snow sat night, done a few of these trips love em, cant wait, dates in aug would be great.

[liftlid]

some photos to inspire you!

[Winnie]

That's awesome! That's the type of thing I'm talking about!! Where is that and what time of year was it? Thinking that depending on number of people interested we could try snag a hut? Might be a few too many people though

[Bloodyaussie]

Cmon winnie set a date..... I have a family I have to suck up to plus a few mechanical things to sort...9th 10th 11th suites me???

[threedogs]

You do know you can kiss the twig and berries goodbye, zero degrees is not fun sorry.
Ever seen dumb and dumber on the mini bike. Liftlid seems to know what its about,
might need to have a get together to get a rough idea where to go, with a plan B and Plan C
just in case. too cold for me I even hate going to the Chalet, give me Darwin any day

[lhurley]

If it was the weekend of the 17/18 i would love to come. I will be in melb, for a snow trip, and wanted to do some 4 wheel driving down there. Room for a northerner to tag alone??

[liftlid]

Don't need a hut, everybody takes a bag of fire wood, I had my swag in the tent as I had bronchitis and I got too hot. I can tell you what to take if that's what is decided to do.
ask mudrunner if he has any photos of his car stuck? I couldn't find one so I posted one of my car stuck, snow was deeper here than I thought!!!

[Winnie]

Okay boys lock in the 9th, 10th and 11th into your calendars! Where are we going?

[liftlid]

What. Standard of trip do you want to run medium/hard/extreme?
We could meet up and camp Friday east of marysville or night run over mountains your call

[Winnie]

Well I would say hard? Certainly not extreme but yeah probably medium/hard. I honestly have no idea where we'd be able to find snow, you sound more in the know there? Sounds like a good central location though that is not too far for everybody to travel. I think we'd be better off camping Friday night because I know that some of us (like me) will not be able to take Friday off so will not get there until late and will be grumpy, tired and hungry lmao.
Those photos that you posted though mate look awesome and that is exactly what I want to do?

[liftlid]

9/10/11 aug is fine with me also

Winnie set the location then start a new thread with all the details.... or do you want me to show you how to arrange a meet up mate!!!!! he he!!!

[MudRunnerTD]

I think I would need it later in the month.

[Winnie]

Nah Daz just put more hours into the GQ she'll be right mate! We could do Mt Useful? There'd be heaps of snow around, and camp somewhere along McEvoy's track.
What do you think Liftlid? How much snow would be around the areas you're talking about?

[MudRunnerTD]

Yeah I think I have a clash that weekend?? Need to check the diary. Also juggling the GUIV right now too.

Don't be silly Daz, bring the GU up here mate I'll straighten that puppy for you....BAHAHA

[Winnie]

Another suggestion is Dargo/Licola area. Heaps of snow further up Tamboritha Rd towards the Pinnacles.

[Winnie]

Hook two GQs up to it and drive full noise in opposite directions...... LMAO that would work I'm sure of it!

[liftlid]

Looks like Friday night is sorted , plenty of places to camp, decide when number of car's going known. Where to go sat will depend on weather. Call it a medium / hard trip I guess. You don't need a comp truck to do the snow just some lift and decent rubber. First car does all the hard work.

[Winnie]

Okay my vote is to go through Licola towards the Pinnacles. These photos are half way between Licola and the pinnacles a few weeks ago. My brother in law (nissan) and his old man (toyota)

[Sir Roofy]

I wont be there the calender is full a fishing trip then a week in the gatta

[boots]

When are you goin in the gatta roofy ?

[liftlid]

Amount of snow will depend on the weather a couple of weeks before we just need somewhere to camp Friday night

[Sir Roofy]

when are you goin in the gatta roofy ?

the 17th till the 24th

what does everybody think of this?

[Bloodyaussie]

Yes.... make it so Winnie and they will come... dont give em to many options or they will never agree!!!!!

[Winnie]

Just need SOME feedback lmao. I would be able to go for a drive the weekend before to suss out the situation with snow and pick a campsite too.

[lhurley]

Change the dates mate and come on down...more than welcome!!!


i could go for a day trip on the 10th. Cant really camp as i have others with me, and have to go to the ski fields on the 11th.

Failing that, if anyone is keen to go the next weekend for a day trip anywhere in melb i would love to come.

[liftlid]

You just need to know where the snow line comes down to and where you will camp close enough to Melbourne Friday night, there will be enough people with experience on the trip to sort out the rest on the day. Once you set the date it will happen.

looks like I would also be available on the 23/24/25 aug

[Winnie]

Licola is a good 3 hours from Melbourne.... Camp sites are another ~30 mins from there.

[Alitis007]

Coz i dont have a lift does that mean if i came i would be a pain in the rrrss and compromise the fun ???

[liftlid]

if your willing, so am I, in deep snow the big trucks push down the snow, making the road, want good rubber though. might not be any snow you never know.

[MudRunnerTD]

23 is probably going to be better for me too guys.

Might even try and have the GQ ready for this.......


GQ? What GQ?

[Alitis007]

Mate call me Mr plow! Lol i'll give almost anything a go unless i'm told otherwise if the boys think i'm not going to be a burden then i'll be there.

Rubber is not an issue i've got a play set of 33" bfg's......

No i have a Club trip that i signed up for 4 months ago. cant pull out now. Accommodation is booked.

I would be able to go later in the month and would be trying to get the GQ for that.

[liftlid]

we could all visit mudrunner at the woods point pub sat night!!

[liftlid]

hi Guys, I've been wondering if the date should be 23/24/25 aug, that way mudrunner could also come, he's been on all the snow trips I've run and is experienced driving/camping in the snow, the weekend of the 9/10/11 Aug. is the Geelong clubs snow trip at woods point. They could have 20 car's driving the same area we are proposing to drive. Snow line would be expected to be approx.. 1300-1400 MT so it can get crowded on the Mountains with snow. We've been up there when there has been 4 convoys trying to pass each other in 2 ft snow. not much fun, took 2hr as they were just getting stuck. What does every body think?

[AB]

I'm happy for whatever day gents!

Sorry mate but if we keep changing the dates when somebody can't make it this will never happen. 23rd is too far away and I am getting toey for a trip.

[threedogs]

@ Liftlid could be a PINB taking Newbies up the snow at the height of the season, especially with all the extra traffic.
don't know what the answer is though, hope you figure something out, Tell Daz to pull his finger out. LOL

[MudRunnerTD]

All good my end. I will be in Woods Point with the family in the GUIV assuming its back.

I will be doing a few swag trips up that way in the coming months so no big deal for me. Next time maybe.

All good.

Ohhhh thanks definitely no problems taking newbies, more the merrier on a trip like this.

Honestly I'd be happy to set up camp and stay there the whole time, but I'd be even more happy doing some wheeling in the white stuff!
