Snow trip?

[Rossco]

The only reason I mentioned it, was cos it snowed when we were there 12 months ago... Maybe the horrible white stuff follows me ? It also snowed when we did Mt Margaret TK and it was 22c in Licola. And Moscow Villa is massive !!

You better come on this trip, then we'll be guaranteed heaps of snow!

I have a possible spot that I had as a back up if I couldn't get to skeene haven't had to try it but it's supposed to have snow when skeene has snow, last year I think we were on the wrong side of the range

[liftlid]

Yeah there has to be a way we can get to Skene

I think 4wd tv got a permit a couple of years ago, and they don't fit into the purpose of the club access for MvO tracks.
Part of the reason 4wd Vic was able to negotiate access to Jamison Licola rd was that "club members" were more prepared to tackle the track conditions than the members of the public that were being rescued by the police at the time.

Yeah agreed. There were a few incidents where people driving solo unprepared had to be rescued, i think one instance the police got stuck too and had to spend the night up there. Worth putting a case forward and seeing how it goes. Take it from there. . .

This sounds good, where is it? . . Or is it a secret. . .

Yeh that's right a couple years ago a guy in a forester following his gps got stuck over Mt Skene, then the police had to go rescue and ended up stuck there overnight with only day time clothes... I think the permit process is a good concept, however it does become restrictive to those not in a 4x4 club

Best not to advertise where you could be up there!

Ha ha, Snows awesome cant wait. Would have been snowing today in the hills i reckon.

Had a bit of a look at the map around moscow villa. It's fairly high (1500m) a bit further up into the hills bit looks like it's seasonally closed. Does look like pretty nice country, definatly have to do a trip up there soon.
