One of our Facebook followers posted a link to this one. Stupid, yes, but you’ve got to like the idea behind it (maybe).

You can ride these at the Snow Stuff park at Hotham. Its down at Wire Plain.

A guy called Steve runs the park there and it caters for tobogganing, tubing etc etc. He also has Snowmobiles for kids to ride and these things for big kids.

He has really filled a hole in the market for peeps who don’t want to ski or board or others looking for something different when the weather is crap.

Steve & Elizabeth are awesome people and have invested lots of $$$ into this venture. This year they will have snow stuff parks at Dinner Plain and Falls Creek.
