Toboggan Race Day – Lake Mountain Cup



I love the snow - that white wonderland.

But just like when you go to the beach it can be a bit bland in paradise, after the initial beauty wears off, unless there is something special to do.

Which is why the annual Toboggan Race Day at Lake Mountain is such a great day out. There is plenty to watch -- all those races - spills and thrills, giggles and gawkiness.

Plus there are a range of events which everyone can get involved in, young and old, professionals and amateurs, the hopeful and the hopeless.



The event has been running at Lake Mountain Alpine Resort since 2009. It is a great family day out with organised toboggan races held for every age and level of ability.



Family rules apply, so it is youngest first, then through to the adults. But the race that everyone loves to watch is the last one for the day, which is the Lake Mountain Staff Race - they'll show you a thing or two about speedy tobogganing!



There will be trophies and prizes to be won. For the kids, Lenny the Leadbeater's Possum, who is Lake Mountain's mascot, will hand out show bags and sweets. To the kids delight, Lenny also takes part in the Lake Mountain Staff Race.

Here he is below skiing.



And it is not just tobogganing. There are lots of great family activities including face painting, snow sculpting and colouring-in competitions.

Toboggans can be hired on the Mountain or in Marysville.

I rate tobogganing at Lake Mountain as one of those quintessential childhood experiences that all local kids should try at least once.

Car entry and family packages can be prebooked.
