They have gone one step further now and want all chains to comply with the "O" Norm 5117 standard https://www.tirechain.com/ONORM.html

There has been quite a shift in what people are buying in recent days, for some reason people have been buying the Konig chains for their cars over cheaper brands, and even for the 4Wd's they have...

With the announcement yesterday to allow day trippers to go to the ski resorts in Victoria I can see lifts opening much earlier than I first thought, the question is will they make snow for what will...

I tend to agree, this looks like being a very good start to what could be a great season, not sure if any lifts will open before late July though.

So far I have heard it will be much wetter and even colder than average, hopefully we will get some of the season in, even if it is just August and September.

I am hoping for a really bad season if this virus is still around and we are forced into being shut, knowing my luck though it is sure to be one of the best ever.

We are currently selling the smaller sized ladies fashion Sorels at prices below cost.https://www.paulski.com.au/shop/apre-boots/sorel-boot-womans-joan-of-arctic-nori/

There is a lot of talk about heavy snow next Thursday, I await hearing what the Frog has to say on this.

This was a good idea I thought, Epic forum was purchased by Vail ski resorts and then shut down, it was a fantastic source of knowledge about boot fitting. There is a need for such a forum even...

15mm Shell gap is the way to go at present, very few skiers can tolerate anything less, and for Alpine touring I have found closer to 20mm shell gap keeps the customer happy.

I am hearing bike shops now charge a fee for anyone wanting to try on bike shoes, I think this is due to so many getting bike shoes online once they know their shoe size.

I am on to my second set of Nokian tyres, in my opinion they are worth every cent, having a second set of rims so they are only on for the winter months helps get more years out of them.

I love how Perisher always open that day earlier the Buller, a great friendly rivalry.

The kind of people that will use the runs with this man made snow are the ones who spend money, they usually rent everything and buy a day ticket, compared to the guys who wait until the steeper...

I see on the cams that Buller, Baw Baw and Lake mountain all have big piles of man made snow / ice from their snow factories, it is a pity that both Hotham or Falls Creek don't have a snow factory,...

In that case I agree with people being upset, at present those spots are for day parking, people with young kids and for those who make the effort to get up there early, now those people will have to...

This one is causing a bit of a discussion with some people saying they will boycott Falls Creek, I don't own a BMW these days so it will not give me free parking. I cant see anything wrong with...

We may be relying on snowmaking for a ski at this years season opening by the sound of your long term forecast Pete.

I was up skiing a few years back with my Polar C lens goggles in really bad light and my son who was wearing a pair of Salomon goggles with the Hi Vis yellow lens had way less trouble seeing then I...

I was up there last weekend with a couple of the current members, a great hut with off the grid electricity due to solar panels and batteries, gas for cooking and if needed lighting, a great wood...

Yes it was good, I was up at Mount Wills for the weekend walking around in the fresh snow, we didnt get a lot at Wills but I could see Bogong and it appeared to have a good cover.

Sorels are losing sales in a big way now to brands like Kimberfeel, just as good at a much lower price. Our best selling boot in recent years is the Beverly, has laces and a zip, your choice...

For the winter of 2020 onwards all Victorian resorts will require snow chains to comply with the O norm 5117 standard, Aldi chains do not comply and neither do a lot of others, so if buying chains...

The obvious one is a K2 poacher, a good twin tip that performs well in the park and also as an all round ski. Rossignol would have an equivalent in the Smash 7 or the Scratch.

It looks good, they certainly needed a lot more seating up there, it was always hard to find a seat we found even in September. Now that Vail has such a strong hold on Aussie resorts the other two...
