A great way to keep costs down ×
Skiing in Australia is expensive. Cross country skiing is no exception, although of course, it is not as expensive as alpine skiing. Our club has decades of experience of finding and booking relatively inexpensive skiing accommodation.
Our ride sharing system helps to keep transport costs in check and our collective knowledge about ski gear can help you keep the cost of gear in check. We also have an online gear exchange where you can buy and sell gear within the club.

The Club organises free group lessons on some weekend trips and often runs a come and try day at Lake Mountain. Learning in the club setting is a fun and friendly introduction to cross country skiing. Experienced members are always happy to pass on advice and tips on an informal basis.
