Near the top of the mountain the road forks to go to Snow Park or Snow Farm.
Snowpark is where Ken Block and DC filmed this video.

looking from Skifarm across the valley towards Cadrona Skifield on the next range



Some kite skiers at Snowfarm





At Snowfarm thy have winter testing facility that all the top carmakers use. To prove this story, here's a few maserati's I spied!!







After mucking around in the snow it was back down the mountain and home we went





If you ever get down to this part of the world, I definitely recommend driving these roads, the scenery is stunning!
