Try Something Different This Winter - Go Snow Shoeing


Heading out onto the slopes these days can be a hectic affair. Snowshoeing offers you a slower paced way to enjoy the high country, and can take you far away from the noisy slopes.

A few Illabunda members, guests, and our manager Luanne have been seen enjoying this great sport over this and the last few seasons. If you are keen to give it a go too, you can hire a pair of snowshoes from one of the local outdoor stores, who can also offer guided tours at various places around the snowy mountains.

Not only is it a great way to take in the scenery, it is great exercise too! Comfortable and waterproof footwear is probably the most important piece of clothing you will need, but wearing a few layers is the way to go. So you can layer up or layer down depending on your temperature. Take your stocks with you as these really help with balance.

Most importantly, let someone know where you’re going and when you’ll be back.
Have fun!
