As you’re parking below the snowline each night there’s not much you have to worry about. All the vehicle prep stuff only really comes into play if you’re leaving your car on the mountain overnight for an extended period.

As for wheel chocks, yes, I have seen cars slide before when the ice melts, but certainly not in Australia. Fortunaly our engineers here had the foresight to not build our carparks on an incline!

Personally I never worry about alpine fuel for day trips, but it’s available at several pumps in Mt Beauty and is easy to get.

In VIC all vehicles must carry chains.

Yeh you will be fine with out Alpine fuel if u are heading up from Mt Beauty each day. Like AJ said legally u still have to carry chains but doubtful u will need them. Look forward to going for a slide shaka
