Josh Marshall has been involved with snow virtually since the day he was born. He has done lot of skiing and snowboarding in his 20 year-life, particularly on Ben Lomond, one of Tasmania’s tallest peaks. His dad is a volunteer ski patroller.
Josh has a wonderful collection of snowmobiles dating from 1965 (the first ones were made in 1958) to 1989. All of them have been associated with the Tasmanian ski fields – either Ben Lomond or Mt Field, and some have worked in Antarctica. Josh has 17 snowmobiles so far, and each one has a story. He thinks he’s the only person to have a collection of this type in Australia.
So far Josh has not been able to restore the mobiles to concourse condition, partly because most of them need a lot of work, particularly the ex-Antarctic ones, which he found in the bush north of Hobart.
