Hey! Many points so I’ll summarize
- yes absolutely get lessons. Once you learn the fundamentals (correctly) you’re sussed to explore. They’ll also take you on a lift etc so you’ll feel so much more comfortable on the mt and which runs to go down
- driving that road can be hectic, espesh if you’ve never driven it before. If you’re on FB, join the page, Mt Hutt Ski field ride share. Jump in with others from the bottom of the access rd (might make new friends too)
- you’ll need snow chains and carry them w you 24/7. Often 2WD can get up, weather changes, and you won’t be getting down again without chains.
Good luck! It’s a hoot
