The following are examples of trips we run, all depending on snow conditions:
Beginners' weekend
If you're new to skiing, or just want to have a social ski weekend,
this is for you. We will provide some basic instruction and help you on
your way. We will be providing dinner for the Saturday night. The place we are staying
in has quite a few beds, but it's still a good idea to book ahead, as
this is a popular weekend.
Dinner Plain week
This trip at Dinner Plain is suited to people wanting to stay a whole week in the mountains.
There is no formal program, so take your pick of ski touring, skating, snowshoeing, or Telemark practice on Mt.Hotham. Some people ski from Dinner Plain to Hotham and back.
Others ski one way and catch the bus the other way. Depending on snow conditions and skill level, we may run tours around the Wire Plain trails, to Mt. Loch, to Derrick Hut, or along the Razorback.
Snow Camps
This is how you can really experience a true backcountry tour. Get away
from the crowds and have the hills to yourselves. If snow conditions are right, we run a beginner's
trip for first-timers, so if you're thinking about trying it, this
would be your best chance. Generally, we share as much of the equipment
we have between us, so don't be worried if you don't have all the gear.
Talk to the leader and find out what you need. We also have other
trips, which get you into places you can only go if you snow camp.
Day Trips
We aim to run regular day-trips throughout the season. You can hire
all your gear if needed at the location or on the way. We generally
leave early and get back to Melbourne in the early evening.
New members and visitors are always welcome but we recommend you contact the Trip Leader to discuss your skiing ability before booking on a trip. People who have never skied before should first ski with us on a beginner trip.
