To all that are travelling down tormorrow, make sure you are well wrapped up, it's bloody cold down here!! There is snow on the main road heading into the campsite, not sure about the campsite itself. The Pigroot is clear of snow but watch out for grit on the corners.

Travel safe everyone and see ya tomorrow!!!

The mountains look bloody awesome covered in the snow! Granted I was in the car with the heater going full blast

Cant believe the bastards havent bothered putting any signs out before the heavily gritted bits,when i went over the bits to the side of each car wheel track were bloody thick and i feel sorry for the poor buggers heading over tonight in the dark.

I came over in the cage as the sun was setting and found there was heaps on some corners!
