SNOW season has come at last, with Lake Mountain Alpine Resort opening its gates for its first weekend of winter, bringing eager visitors from around the state.
Crowds of visitors flocked to the mountain’s opening day on Saturday 6 June, for an opening weekend that included toboggan runs, snow-shoe trails and cross-country skiing.
Children were well catered for, with the resort expanding its Snowman’s Village and running activities such as a flying fox and outdoor laser skirmishes.
Resort manager Scott Gamble said there was “something for everyone” at the resort, and that going to the snow didn’t have to mean strapping on skis and taking on snow sports.
“New snow-shoe trails are a perfect introduction to snow sports and suitable for children and adults,” Mr Gamble said.
“There are short trails or all-day hikes, and is a great way for anyone to experience the beauty of our renowned cross-country trails without having to ski.”
The resort features 40 kilometres of snow trails, and this year opened its Fischer Nordic Demo Centre, where budding skiers can learn skills before hitting the slopes.
