Cross Country Skiing
Lake Mountain has more than 30 kilometres worth of well signposted and groomed trails, offering some of Australia’s best cross country skiing.
Ski Trail Conditions
Please be aware, that snow conditions of the trails change everyday. Sometimes when Lake Mountain has not received any recent snowfall you might have to walk 10-20 minutes from the resort to find the snow line or perhaps there might not be any snow. It is highly recommended that if you are coming to Lake Mountain to Cross Country Ski you check Nordic Pulse (above) for everyday reports or if you are already on mountain ask our snow sports team. If trails have been groomed there is enough snow for skiing and snowshoeing.
No visitors are allowed to walk on ski trails without proper snowshoe equipment, as we strive to preserve the snow, making it last longer so more people can enjoy it.
Our lessons are booked for on the day in the snow sports department. Lessons start in the Village Centre, north of the resort, practising the fundamental skills for skiing and then to put them to use we head out on the ski trails, subject to snow conditions.
Come along for some fun, on cross country skis!

Answers to all your cross country skiing relating questions.
As there are no lifts at Lake Mountain, skiing here takes a little more effort as you need to propel yourself up and down the ski trails.
Don’t worry though, the trails aren’t steep like regular downhill ski trails. There are over 30 kilometres of trails winding their way through trees covering Lake Mountain. If you’re new to Cross Country Skiing, at our Snow Sports area next to the rental department, you can book a ski lesson in on the day. Lessons run flexibly according to the demand.
If wanting to hire gear on mountain for your lesson we encourage you to get your equipment one hour before. Equipment for your lesson includes a full day hire.

Resort entry tickets are only required during the declared snow season (June 8th to October 6th 2024).
Resort Entry tickets can be purchased at the gate on the day or pre-purchased online via our website.
Lake Mountain Alpine Resort is subject to closure once the car parks have reached full capacity. This generally occurs over the weekends during the Victorian School Holiday period. To avoid disappointment during these high demand days, we recommend pre-purchasing your resort entry ticket online a few days prior as there will be no tickets available to purchase on the day if the carparks have been filled. Once filled, entry will be based on a 1 in 1 out system which can involve an extended wait time of several hours.
There is no shuttle from Marysville to Lake Mountain in the winter season.
