Cross county Skiing, Beginner Snowboarding and and Snow-play excursions for school groups
There’s plenty to do on our little mountain and loads for your school kids to learn. We’re Melbourne’s closest alpine resort, located just two hours from the CBD so getting here is a just a bus trip away.
With over 35km of marked ski trails, our mountain has all bases covered from short, beginner loops for newbies and more challenging terrains for those with more snow experience.
We also have lessons just for primary schoolers who need some extra guidance on mastering the snow on skis and learning to balance on boards.
There’s loads of other activities too like our Ski Orienteering Program that teaches kids to navigate a map while out on the cross-country trails or fun tactical games of Laser Skirmish that focus on teambuilding. If your group are first timers and just wanting to experience the snow, you are also welcome to simply spend your day sliding down slopes and slipping down our tube runs.
