Frequently Asked Questions

Does Lake Mountain offer ski lessons?

Cross-country skiing lessons are not offered for the general public at Lake Mountain.

For information on School Excursions, click here.

Are there chairlifts at Lake Mountain?

No. Lake Mountain is a Cross-Country Ski Resort only, so we don’t have chairlifts.

What’s the difference between cross-country skiing and downhill skiing?

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 25 kilometres of trails winding their way through trees covering Lake Mountain.
