Snow Sports

Dinner Plain has a gentle down hill ski slope with poma lift. Perfect for beginners, or those getting 're-acquainted' with their skis, before hitting the more challenging slopes of Mount Hotham, just an easy 12km shuttle bus ride away.

Or if cross-country skiing is your preference, Dinner Plain has 15kms of trails for your enjoyment.

The local ski hire outlet "Pinnacle" will be happy to arrange your equipment and clothing hire. Phone 03 5159 6450

Cross Country Skiing - Dinner Plain

The trail is fully open.

Some important facts:

* Length: 10 kilometres
* Ski: 4 hours one way
* Track: Groomed (when sufficient snow)
* Grade: Intermediate
* Start: Hotham Heights General Store
* Finish: Dinner Plain Village

This popular and well-marked trail winds through a woodland of snow gums, with their gnarled, brilliantly-coloured trunks a vivid contrast to the white surrounds, and meanders across the snowy expanses of Paw Paw Plain, offering glimpses of Mount Tabletop and the Dargo High Plains.

It drops to Mother Johnson Flat, named after the somewhat disreputable owner of a wine shanty on the way to the goldfields, and then past the old cattleyards of JB Plain before crossing several small creeks and springs as it heads to Dinner Plain.

There are numerous access points along the Great Alpine Road, and the section from JB Plain to Dinner Plain is suitable for beginners. It is also a great walking trail during summer, when the high country is dotted with colourful wildflowers.
