Skiing Out of Falls Creek

The high plain country just beyond the resort town of Falls Creek is a great place to enjoy the pleasures of cross country skiing.  Be careful! A white out can quickly obscure visibility.  If you have spare few days, you can even ski from the Bogong Rover Lodge.

there is snow as far as the eye can see a cross country skier makes their own tracks skiing up Watchbed creek can be hard work in thick snow
ice covers the water of the Rocky Valley Dam if your legs get tired .. use a para sail Be careful .. the white out is always ready on the high plains
