Anything left at Perisher?
We have a trip planned for next weekend. Sadly, due to life things we’re going late this year, but I think we’ve missed it.
Is it worth getting lessons and booking gear? We have 4 days of prepaid passes, so that money is long gone. We do ‘t want to just pour money in if there is basically no snow.

RC rock Crawlers
A somewhat niche request.
Last year I bought my son and I RC rock crawlers, 1/18 scale. They’re great but over the last year we’ve exhausted the rockery in our garden, and are looking to expand our driving. They are slow, quiet, and easy to control. Anywhere with rocks, channels, tree roots around 5-15cm high is ideal, but they are surprisingly capable little things.
Does anyone have ideas for publicly and easily accessible (not a long hike etc.) places to drive them?

First trip
It was hard but fun.
I OVERPACKED
My sleeping bag is overkill my mat is underkill, so I was still a little cold.

Loaded test ride
Fully loaded test ride with the alpine kit 5 season tent, -23c bag, and plenty of spare warm stuff. 35km in the stormiest of storms with a loop around some local xc mtb trails. All essential equipment stayed dry and the flask was hot several hours and many cups of tea later.
Very pleased.

Planning first snow ride
I’m in Australia and snow is hard to come by, so I’m planning my first snow ride. Starting in an evening when it’s colder and having multiple stop points at huts, and I have some above alpine experience in multi-day XC skiing and snowshoeing trips.
The bike is pretty well ready with a Surly ICT, on Johnny 5s (studded), and with pogies and boots but what will I need, if anything, that’s different to a snowshoe or ski trip?
Cheers.

Wheels from Nextie
Hi folks,
I’m looking to go wider on my tins and just considering a brew set of wheels, has anyone had experience with Nextie building the whole wheel. It seems very convenient. Interested in the communities experience.
Cheers

Over ten years skinny, I’m fat again.
Just over ten years ago I sold my Pugsley, and I regret it. Now I have an ICT, and I’m a happy rider again. This is her stock on a 43km gravel ride.

Okay, I need help.
So, I maybe promised my 6 year old a jet ski and a helicopter. We have the helicopter and have been having a great time sailing somewhere and doing a couple of loops round in the GC. He spots the landing zone, any bugs to zap, and the elec house. I just cannot get the quest for the jet ski to spawn. I’m on the island with “the signal” quest to get the 4 units to open the door, through the underwater tunnel. Is this the right island?
At a loss, but loving the gyro copter.

Parker 75 Flame
The most recent arrival to my Parker collection.
I am amazed by how shiny and light this is. My first gold nib, too.
It is amazing to write with, so smooth and effortless. I was worried about it being an extra fine, but it has a nice, if a little thin, line weight to it.
