Daily Update

A good base layer (such as thermals) is key to keeping warm in the snow. If you don’t have thermals, don’t stress! Just make sure to layer up with warm and comfy clothing. The weather conditions are constantly changing up on the mountain, layering your clothes means it’s easy to add or remove clothing as needed. For even more protection, it’s wise to pack a waterproof layer just in case.

For more information about what to wear at the snow, read our article on clothing essentials for your first trip to the snow.

Tip: Avoid dressing kids in gumboots/wellingtons as they do not have any insulation; kids feet will freeze after a short amount of time in the snow.

Due to hygiene regulations, we do not offer gloves, socks, goggles and beanies for hire. We have a range of kids through to adults gloves and beanies for sale in our retail shop, with gloves starting from around $20.

Here at Lake Mountain, snow or wheel chains are not required unless it has been declared a “chain day”.

For declared chain days, all 2WD vehicles must carry chains until advised to fit by Lake Mountain staff, with 4WD and AWD vehicles needing to know how to engage that setting when required.

For more information, visit Mountain Safety.

Chains can be hired from any of the Ski Hires (Lake Mountain Ski Hire, Cross Country Ski Hire or Marysville Ski Centre) before you begin the climb to Lake Mountain. The cost is approximately $30- $60 (subject to change) for the day and you will be shown how to fit the chains when hiring them.
