Angus Smart Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 Nice, there defiantly has to be a certain caution when driving on the snow. i have not for the 15+ years i have been driving to the snow been on ice, slid on ice etc. driven on snow plenty of times and never had issues on it.. what kind of road clearing do they have in Vic? do they do all the salting etc?

Like driving to the top of Mt Perisher. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/331594-snow-chains-supplier/page/2/#findComment-5395406 Share on other sites More sharing options...
xRHETTx Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 that day they had the snow plow going non-stop, there was a line of 40+ cars and 4wds waiting for the plow to do a run and then they would follow it down. There would be lucky to be 1 day a year like that. Yeah Hotham is at the top of the mountain, you actually drive almost to the top of the highest run. 95% of runs and downhill from the road. I've never seen them ice a road in Vic, but they may do it?
