There is 20odd km of cross country tracks here. We had been to this area previously last year pre bushfires so we were interested to see how badly the bush was effected.  First time on skis so a lesson first then see how many bruises I could collect.

Arrived at Lake Mountain at 9:30am after a brief breakfast stop at the Marysville Bakery.
Collected out ski gear and luckily got a lesson booked in at 10am.

Lake Mountain

Our instructor went through the basics of how to put the skis on, how to steer, how to fall and most importantly how to stop. After a few practice runs near the snow making area we were taken up the main track and after 1 hour we were let loose.
