What's On
Free* Skiing for Grade 5 Students
with the all new Alpine Passes
We’ve got Alpine Passes for grade 5 students in Victorian schools. Each pass must be ordered by schools and has five coupons offering free* lift tickets or snow play at five of Victoria’s alpine resorts: Mt Buller, Mt Hotham, Falls Creek, Mount Baw Baw and Lake Mountain.
Teachers can order Alpine passes online at www.alpinejuniorrangers.com.au/teachers.
Ask your teacher to get your Grade 5 Alpine Pass.
*Free lift ticket for grade 5 students with the purchase of an adult lift pass or ski school lesson for the same day. Not to be used in conjunction with any other offer. Alpine Passes must be validated by a Victorian primary school with a school stamp and the child’s name clearly printed on the pass.
Mt Hotham has more than great skiing!
Kids Snowmobiling
Kids can zoom around the slopes on mini snowmobiles at Hotham! Enjoy all the fun in a kids-only designated snowmobile zone. No license required, fully supervised and safety equipment provided.
Night sessions for 7–14 yr olds
No parents allowed! Nightly 'Easy Mac' sessions are new for 2008 and sure to be a hit with the 7–14 year olds. Available on selected nights at the Kids Snowzone, the slopes will open for supervised night skiing while inside there will be movies sponsored by Easy Mac and games. During school holidays, disco and karaoke nights for kids are also planned.

Mount Baw Baw Kids Fun
Mount Baw Baw’s Frosti Fun Club will be operating every weekend and daily during the school holidays with plenty of activities like snow sculpting, treasure hunts, craft workshops and of course, their mascot Frosti the Frog.
New for 2008 is Mount Baw Baw’s Kirstie’s Kids program. Kirstie Marshall is a notable Australian aerial skier who first skied as a child at Mt Baw Baw. During her skiing career, Kirstie won over 40 World Cup medals including 17 gold. Kirstie’s Kids encourages participation in snow sports via our Snowsports School…the program’s motto is “from little things, big things grow” and Kirstie’s success in aerial skiing is a wonderful example of this.
