BACKCOUNTRY SLED TOURS

About the experience

A custom designed snowmobile sled accommodates 4 people (ages 5+) pulled behind a large Wide/Long Tracked Snowmobile. Pickup is at SnowStuffPark (Bus Stop 12), meander down the resort management access tracks to the Snowplay Area at Wireplain.  From there, head into the real back country of Hotham and onto the top of Possum Flat where there is an ideal opportunity for a scenic shot.  After a short break to hear a little bit about the history of the Dargo Valley and Hotham, then head down into a snowy tree lined gully motoring through some deep stashes of snow, conditions permitting, then take ride through to the Dargo Lookout,  then it’s a pull up SnowStuff Hill back to SnowStuffPark.

Duration is 30-45 minutes depending on snow conditions. There is also the opportunity of a sunset tour that last approximately 1.5 hours.
