Alex-

On the tailgate, does it have two red lamp compartments?

*  Unused rear fogs.  I had on another model wired em up once for a lady who drives the F6.

Buy a UN/ECE R27 standard hazard-warning triangle for your vehicle for use at crash scenes (to prevent secondary), and at breakdowns.  Store in boot area.  I suggest Hella Part Number 2901, or, Auto Accessory Shops carrying "Pro-Kit" supplier stock - Item No. RG9212.  Cheap insurance.  Superior to AS3790 & 3790B type.  WA's crash scene text:   http://www.dpi.wa.gov.au/mediaFiles/lic … _part4.pdf

why buller, small packed mountain with not as much snow as hotham.

though it is closer to melbourne.

I'm thinking about a hotham/ falls season ticket (but would want my bro to get one too so I have someone to board with, but don't know he has $1100 atm)

If I was as close to Hotham as you, I would be there in a flash!

But its not, so I will head to buller for day trips!

Hotham for weekends, or weeks.

But I am going to head to NZ this year smile

I've never been to falls, was keen to try it out this year though... it's just that bit further away (as rx was saying about hotham to melbourne)

the cool thing about falls is (well it sucks when you get there with your bags) you can ski in and ski out. the apartments are half way down the mountain. and all the home trails are awesome...! i still prefer hotham for the length of runs it offers though :victory:

I've skied falls two years in a row and love it, although there was no snow at all when I arrived last year it did snow every day of the week while I was there. Had to buy a new, more waterproof jacket! :victory:

cool might have to try a weekend trip to falls then smile mix it up a little.

yeah I love hotham too because of the long runs and varied terrain, hope we get a heap of snow again so I can board the runs from where the big D lift is (across the road) and down towards the bottom of heavenly vally smile haven't been able to do that for a couple of years

hehe maybe we should see about organising a "snow cruise" for a day / weekend trip snoboarding (or skiing if you have to)

yeah was a s**t season last year (but I still spent alot on lift tickets) bought my own gear last year (rather than hirering) so getting my moneys worth out of it early lol

I love the snow. I wish I lived a bit closer to it. would like to take the lib up there and see how well my snow hold feature works.

Love falls, love hotham, but prefer perisher.  big_smile

Dammit, why cant I have boost!!!! :mda:

yeah perisher looks awesome (have seen "9's wild winter weekend) but that is a bit of a hike.

The reason I bought a suby was exactly for that reason, to goto the snow and pack a whole heap of stuff in the back (not a whole lot of room in a nissan exa for that. though it did suffice for two weekend trips for a mate and I)

i was at hotham about 2 years ago staying at the top of that run (frosty something) and thats the track we took each morning. the onyl problem was there was exposed rock everywhere. you had to try and stay on the edge and jump over rocks. lets just say my brand new board was pretty fugged up by the end...

lol yeah, the access trail rocks are bad.

lets all hope it's a much better season than last year.

if anyone is interested I just got an SMS from Mt Buller saying free lift tickets for friday on Bourke st and Baldy (and discounted all weekend)

(though I don't think they have heaps of snow yet.

my cousins stay at the station too when they go and they say the same. But your not hanging in the chalet all day so they live with the ordinary facilities and enjoy a awesome feed after.
