Mt Skene Snow Adventure – 18th – 20th July 2025
Join Geoff, Clint and the Club for the first of two Snow Trips to Mt Skene… Last year’s trip was Epic so we’re hoping for some more great snowy weather this year.
Mt Skene Snow Adventure – July/August 2024
Join Geoff, Clint and Club 4×4 for a Snow Trip to Mt Skene…
We will run 2 trips, one from Walhalla to Jamieson (South/North) and the other from Jamieson to Walhalla (North/South). We will get bookings now and submit for the Trip with FWD Victoria as soon as the Permit System Opens. The Trip could happen a week or two either side of the allocated date depending on when we can get the permit for. We will book up to 20 vehicles with two groups, one heading from Jamison south and the other heading from Licola or Walhalla North. We will be camping at Mt Skene so be prepared to camp above the Snowline.
The South/North trip will meet near Walhalla or Licola Friday night and head off on Saturday morning north to the Licola-Jamieson Road via Aberfeldy and Mt Selma. We’ll then follow the Licola-Jamieson Road to the summit of Mt Skene where we plan to camp. On Sunday we’ll head down to Jamieson.
The North/South trip will commence from Jamieson and tackle the route in the reverse direction.
Participants will be allocated to either trip as we get closed to the date. This allocation will be so that there is a mix of experienced drivers on both trips.
The Search for Snow – 28th – 30th July 2023
Join Geoff and Club 4×4 to search for some Snow, we’ll access the conditions closer to the date as this may dictate the route that we take. It’s going to be great fun so let’s hope that the weather gods are on our side…
The search for Snow – July 2017
Join Geoff and Club 4×4 for a day trip up to Mt Matlock on the search for some early season snow.
The weather looks cold and wet for mid next week, lets go and see if we can find some snow. Mt Matlock is the current location but if there is better snow elsewhere we’ll change the location.
Itinerary
There is a short 4WD track up to the summit of Mt Matlock (it is easy but just letting you know). We might go for a short drive north of Mt Matlock to have lunch before returning home in the early afternoon.
If anyone is interested we might stop at the Buxton Hotel on the way home for an early dinner.
Snow Driving Trip – July 2017
Club 4×4’s first snow driving trip of the season is on. If you have never driven in the snow before, it is a very special experience and a lot of fun.
Itinerary
The plan is to camp below the snow line on Friday night. We’ll find some snow on Saturday and return to camp below the snow line again on the Saturday night. Sunday we’ll do a short drive then finish the trip.
The Location of the trip will be determined by the weather conditions and where there is snow. However it’s likely we’ll have a 2.5 – 3.5 hr drive Friday night and the same to return to Melbourne on Sunday.
Club 4×4 Snow trip (Falls Creek) – July 2017
Join Chris and Club 4×4 in group skiing/snowboarding fun on the snow trip to Falls Creek. Whilst not essentially a 4wding trip, it is a chance for a group of like minded members to get together and spend a few days on the mountain at Falls Creek. Staying in the fringes of Bright, we will drive up to Falls Creek and spend the day each day on the slopes before catching up again for a meal or two in the local restaurants/pubs.
Obviously there are varying levels of skiing/snowboarding ability and you are under no obligation to stick together whilst on the slopes, it is more a case of getting a group together to share stories of the mountain adventures. Please refer to the trip notice below for further information regarding accommodation, car passes and lift passes. Lessons are available for those new to skiing/snowboarding through the Falls Creek ski school. Kids are more than welcome and daycare and kids programs are available on mountain.
This is the first time that we have run a trip like this and please be aware that personal insurances are recommended for on snow activities (skiing/snowboarding) as the club’s insurance does not cover injuries as a result of these types of activities. All on snow activities are at the member’s own risk and the club nor trip leader are liable for any injuries incurred whilst on snow.
Boys Weekend (Woods Point) – August 2017
The Boys Weekend 2017 will be a camp out, near Woods Point. Join Brenton and Club 4×4 for a weekend of camping, laughs, big campfires and a little 4WDing. We may even see a little snow if it’s cold enough. This annual event is always a great weekend away and the Saturday night spit roast is always a good feed.
Boys Weekend – August 2016
Camping out near Woods Point, sounds fun. Join Brenton and Club 4×4 for a weekend of camping and a little 4WDing. We may even see a little snow if it’s cold enough.
Mt Matlock in the Snow – July 2016
Join Geoff, Chris, and Club 4×4 for a day trip to Mt Matlock. It’s been cold and rainy lately so we’re hoping that there will be lots of snow.
