Final Reminders Before You Go
Fuel Up Before You Go: There are no petrol stations at Dinner Plain or Hotham. Refuel at Omeo or Bright. Diesel vehicles need alpine diesel, available at Omeo, Bright, and Myrtleford, or use a cold-weather additive.
Know Your Terrain: The terrain accessible from The Alpine Gateway Building at Loch Carpark is only suitable for intermediate to advanced skiers and snowboarders.
Be Winter-Ready: Dress warmly and pack extra food and water for the drive - especially in snowy weather or in case of delays or breakdowns.
Dress for the Snow: Wear waterproof pants, jackets, and boots. Rentals are available in Myrtleford, Harrietville, or Hotham - search ‘gear hire’ on the Hotham website.
Toboggan Safely: Only toboggan at Wire Plain Toboggan Park or the Pea Shooter in Dinner Plain. Use approved plastic toboggans only and always ride kneeling or sitting forward - never face-first, standing, or backwards.
