How bad an idea is this?

We’re headed to Marysville next week for a few days, absolutely not intended to be a snow trip, but we do own a toboggan, and I was thinking given the poor season start, it might be reasonable to just go in jeans, jumpers and rain jackets for a day of fun. If it’s just ride down the slope, then walk up a grassy/muddy hill, presumably it won’t be too bad?

Or am I an idiot and we’ll all be soaked and miserable in 30 seconds?

Obviously wouldn’t bother if it’s raining or snowing.

TIA

We currently have gas only for instant hot water and our stove, and so wanting to get off it completely and save the daily charge, which is the majority of our bill. Been looking at the Vic government rebate site and it seems that only accredited companies can claim the rebates, the list for induction rebates it pretty small, and the overlap with that list and the how water list is even smaller. Is that really all the choice we have?

I know which induction cooker we want to get (90cm freestanding oven, so not heaps of choice), but would need to get a plumber to disconnect current gas, electrician to upgrade circuit to 40A (current breaker for the over is 30A), plus both trades again for hot water, etc.

Seems like a perfect opportunity for an electrician with a plumber mate to offer a full service, but with the list of accredited companies so small, I feel like I must be missing something.

Do I just need to purchase the oven and a hot water service, and try to line up everything on the same day myself, and hope for the best?

Please tell me what I'm missing here, or recommend a company (south east vic) that you've used that helped you out?
