We got the Aldi boots for the kids worked well. We where looking to head to Lake Mountain sometime in the season. To get some more $ out of the Aldi snow gear :) although $65 to save $.. Sounds like my wife's clothes specials this top was half price. I said still 50% more then we needed to spend :) :behindsofa:
Youd be loosing money if you didnt get that top ... 50%, are you kidding. Im with Sarah; great bargain.

(am I helping?? :p)

Was a lot of snow up Mt Hotham the other week although the kids sled run was next to where the skiers came through.
Even though the chair lifts where not open people where skiing so they both ended up at the same exit point. almost a few crashes a few snow boarders flew down the hill..

Hey Bluey just spotted that you have left the LNB arm on the dish, not a good idea mate, if it gets slightly bent or twisted it means the LNB will be in the wrong possy and give you heaps of drama locking on.......mine has butterfly headed bolts and I remove mine and pack it away each time.
