Top Active Leisure Sport in Australia

If you want to try snowmobiling, go with a guide! I went solo and wasted time trying to figure out the routes. Join a group for better access to awesome trails and insider tips on where to go.

I suggest getting there early, like around 7:30 AM. The runs were empty, and I could actually enjoy skiing without dodging too many people. Later in the day, it got a bit hectic.

My advice is to grab a locker for your gear. It saves you the hassle of lugging everything around. I didn’t use one the first day and regretted it when I wanted to hit the bars later.

Make sure to check the weather; it can change fast! I didn’t and ended up caught in a blizzard. Snow goggles or a mask are a must if it gets windy. Trust me, your face will thank you!

Layer up. It can get pretty chilly up there, especially if the wind picks up. I wish I had brought a light jacket.

I recommend booking your ride in advance to secure your spot; it gets busy, especially on weekends. I didn’t, and ended up waiting longer than expected.

If you can, try to go in the late afternoon, around 4 PM. The heat was much more bearable, and the sunset views were just stunning.

Make sure to wear sturdy shoes and comfortable clothing. I wore sandals, and it was a bit of a struggle – my feet weren't too happy after the ride!

My advice is to bring your own food and drinks for the day on the slopes or trails. The prices at on-site cafes can be steep, and packing a lunch can save you a lot!

Consider buying a multi-day pass if you plan on skiing or biking for a few days. It can save you a chunk of change versus single-day lift tickets.
