I know, I was absolutely shocked. I'm never skiing in a Victorian resort again. It stings because it doesn't go to Parks (resort land is managed by the RMB), it doesn't go to clearing the road (done by Vic roads) I called it the "Hotham F-k You Tax"

Next season I'll have my Aus skiing costs down to Nsw national parks passes & petrol. And lift tickets if I want.

Climbers and canyoners are pretty good at sniffing out free camping and we get a bit spoilt in the Blueys I reckon.
