25.01.2022 We’re thrilled to announce we’re offering up Australia’s best tobogganing terrain this winter. Not only that, we’re bringing back skiing and snowboarding too. F...rom the school holidays, every morning from 9am to 1pm it’s time to ski and snowboard with the Cobungra Platter ski lift. From 1:30pm, our ski slope becomes Australia’s longest dedicated toboggan run. We can’t wait for winter, now there’s just one more reason for you to be excited too www.visitdinnerplain.com.au *As always, snow activities are dependent on conditions. Keep those snow dances going

24.01.2022 Dinner Plain remains OPEN for business as usual We are pleased to announce that we will be continuing our on-mountain operations for all regional visitors not i...mpacted by the lockdown, for the next 6 weeks and beyond. 75m Cobungra Platter Toboggan Slope Cross Country Trail Grooming Food & Beverage Venues Nordic XC Skiing, Snowshoeing & Sled Dog Tours As always, there are no entry fees to visit Dinner Plain and capacity limits apply to activities and venues only, not to general access. We are working hard to support our industry and local operators, now it's our turn to ask you to do the same. Now is the time to turn 2020 around and experience the magic of winter at Dinner Plain.

22.01.2022 In light of Stage 3 restrictions, Dinner Plain is farewelling visitors for the time being. The Alpine and Mount Buffalo national parks, Mount Hotham Alpine Reso...rt and Falls Creek Alpine Resort are all closed to the public. Under Stage 3 restrictions, there are now only four permitted reasons for leaving home while abiding by hygiene, face covering and social distancing requirements. The Dinner Plain toboggan run has closed for the season, but we can’t wait to welcome everyone back for some fun next year! We are heartbroken to say goodbye to our visitors once more. We are so thankful for everyone who has travelled to our region and supported our local businesses in 2020. From our region to you, stay safe and be strong. We can’t wait to welcome you all back again. Stage 3 Restriction FAQ > www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/travel-regional-victoria-covid-19

21.01.2022 Snowing at DP! We've kicked off tobogganing today & are ready for more this weekend. If you're coming up please be aware of the rules in place to keep tobogganing at DP COVID-Safe Full details www.visitdinnerplain.com.au/tobogganing-2020

19.01.2022 It's National Science Week and as many of you know, Hotham is home to a unique and diverse range of flora and fauna. Years of scientific research facilitated by... Resort Management has helped us learn and understand more about our many native species. While the climate can be harsh and cold, Hotham's flora and fauna has adapted to the environment. Vegetation covered in an insulating layer of snow, known as the subnivean space, allows some animals to remain active during winter. One of these is the Dusky Antechinus (Antechinus swainsonii) with this one recently spotted by Aviya and Bev from our environmental team. Like the Dusky Antechinus the Broad-toothed rat (Mastacomys fuscus) moves around between the surface and the bottom of the snowpack. At this time of year, wombats can also occasionally be seen around the village along with echidnas on the ski slopes.

18.01.2022 After the weekend's snow, it's been prime time enjoying Dinner Plain's XC trails. Our 35km network stretches all the way to Mt Hotham, the perfect option if you...'re itching to get skis on your feet this winter. Conditions are still patchy in parts so you might be best switching to snowshoes. Once the next big dump comes, it will be time for our groomers to do their brilliant best https://www.visitdinnerplain.com.au/snow-report/

17.01.2022 Spring Snow! Not quite a restart of winter but definitely a reset for School Holiday snow time this weekend . If you’re travelling up from Regional Victoria,... be mindful this snow is falling as low as Harrietville. Pack snow chains, use them when directed, and take special care during blizzard conditions today Pics: Hoys Skis P/L Blizzard Brewing Company The Stables at DP

16.01.2022 Lifts aren't turning? Don't worry, beer hoppy! There are still plenty of things to do up here at Dinner Plain Alpine Village while you get your snow fix (or j...ust escape into solitude from the craziness). Here is a good start: Breakfast at Mountain Kitchen Coffee at The Stables at DP Tobogganing on the Cobungra slope (opposite the brewery) with Snowstuff Park Australia A quick snack with Cafe Play, adjacent to the toboggan slope A refreshing beer from up here at Blizzard Brewing Company cause you're thirsty by now Lunch at High Plains Hotel A cross country ski and/or snowshoe through our beautiful snow gums with Traverse Hotham Rent your gear from Hoys, or maybe get a fat bike. Then it is definitely Beer O'Clock and a hand crafted cold one at Blizzard Brewing Company is required to whet your appetite for dinner. Grab a slab to take with you for later on Then dinner at Dinner Plain Hotel or Ramada Resort by Wyndham Dinner Plain, followed by cocktails at the one you didn't dine at! Day 2, and travel further afield, up to Mt Hotham Breakfast at The General, Mt Hotham Grab a coffee and a snack at Chill Bar and Cafe Get some skins or XC gear from @Base N Edge Hotham before going back country around Hotham summit. Lunch at Jack Frost Restaurant & Bar Time for a cocktail or a Blizzard beer at Miss Mary’s Bar and Eats wind it up with delicious and authentic French fondue at Alpine Nature Experience Don't worry that you wander too far from the brewery, these Hotham venues all have some Blizzards for you! Repeat. Pile on any venues / experiences we have left out..... Cheers - together we can beat the COVID and enjoy our Garden in the Snow...

16.01.2022 This may be the end of the 2020 snow season for us, but this isn’t good-bye! As you may or may not be aware, Alpine Nature Experience is a small family business... run by two staff members and myself. I still personally run every tour and thoroughly enjoy welcoming you at the eco-village. The recent NSW border closure has taken me away from my young son and 7-months-pregnant wife. Despite this, I have fulfilled my engagement to all guests, and all the businesses which depend on us, as much as I possibly could. This season we were going to run our last tour on the 12th of September, leaving me just enough time to be back for the arrival of our new baby. Unfortunately, these new lockdown measures mean that we will not be able to continue operating for this winter, but we will be back as early as this Summer with an exciting new offering. @tentsile I'd like to particularly thank all the businesses we collaborate with for the wonderful support and kind words I have received. Some of them are still running and offering fantastic things for our Alpine community. Make sure you have them on your bucket list on your next visit! @snowstuffpark @blizzardbrewco @mt.hotham.resort @mountainkitchen @nordbakery @platform9coffeeroasters @campbellswines @scionwine @jamesandcowines and many more! Bring it on 2021!

14.01.2022 ATTENTION all Mt Hotham, Dinner Plain, Harrietville, Bright & Omeo residents & guests near & far. Hoys Harrietville & Hoys Chains Omeo will facilitate chain hir...e for essential travellers from Thursday 6.8.20 until the end of the Victorian lockdown period from 9am 5pm daily. There will be mobile numbers on the shops’ front doors or call to arrange in advance Harrietville 0357 592589 / Omeo 0427 597 211. As all snow play & snow sports are now restricted (except XC skiing for on mountain residents) Hoys Mt Hotham, Jack Frost & Hoys Dinner Plain shops are closed and Hoys mobile chain service has now ceased operating until restrictions are lifted. We hope to be able to open mid September but no lifts will turn again until 2021. We are most grateful for all the support we have received from the community & our very valued guests to our Australian family business. Special mention of gratitude to all the operators including Alpine Spirit & mountain staff & snow clearing crew that have tried to stay the distance; the Alpine Shire & Mt Hotham RMB & the Australian Ski Industry Association for trying to keep the snow dream alive. Last but never least - enormous & heartfelt thanks to all Hoys staff for trying so hard to help us get people safely up the mountain & enjoy the snow (what little we've had!) operating during these difficult times. We hope to see you all safe & well as soon as we can. #staysafestayhome Mt Hotham Dinner Plain Alpine Village See more

09.01.2022 Alpine Shire Council acknowledges the directive made by the Victorian State Government today enforcing a 6 week lockdown for metro Melbourne. This will inevitab...ly mean a number of our visitors will be required to leave Dinner Plain in the coming days and others with future bookings will be unable to visit. We will provide further updates to what impact this development will have to our winter services as details become more clear. For now, we thank everyone who has visited our village and advise that operations of the Toboggan Slope will continue unchanged.

06.01.2022 OPENING WEEKEND OPERATIONS Tomorrow we open the snow season at Dinner Plain for 2021. We can't wait to welcome Regional Victoria and interstate visitors to our ...village, and Melbourne once restrictions allow. Please ensure you only visit if your local restrictions allow.

Our snow report is now updating daily at www.visitdinnerplain.com.au/snow-report From 10am to 4:30pm Cobungra Platter will open daily for tobogganing. QR Code sign-ins will be required along with ID checks. Cross Country Skiing and snowshoeing will open on ungroomed terrain - grooming will commence as conditions allow. Accommodation, dining, rental and retail outlets are open across the village. The Dinner Plain to Mount Hotham Shuttle Bus commences operation from Saturday June 12. We anticipate having morning skiing and snowboarding sessions this season on the Cobungra Platter slope in Dinner Plain. We expect the lift to open in time for school holidays from 28th June, subject to weather and snow conditions. Peashooter slope will open for tobogganing when snow conditions allow.

04.01.2022 It's the first day of winter, and we can't wait to open the snow season. Keep those snow vibes coming our way & we'll see you all as soon as we can Pic: Karl Gray

03.01.2022 The green season is here and it’s always a unique experience visiting areas you would normally ski or board. Once this wet weather is gone our tracks and trails are yours to explore.

01.01.2022 We are OPEN! Better snowfall than expected overnight means we’ve been able to open the toboggan slope today! Be prepared for contact tracing in place and timed sessions to manage capacity - full details at www.visitdinnerplain.com.au/tobogganing-2020

01.01.2022 So here we are, day 1 back in 'stage 3' lockdown. It's been a long road with many hurdles (and borders) just getting here this season only to operate for two me...asly weeks with very limited snow. Thank you to those lucky few who made it up here for a lesson or experience with us during this short time. As of today Hotham is now CLOSED to visitors. Therefore we've ceased operations in both Hotham and Dinner Plain (which didn't really start anyway) for the time being. However so long as this lockdown does the job on COVID and there's enough snow, we plan to offer as many cross country lessons, Nordic/XC tours and snowshoe experiences as we possibly can to cabin-fever afflicted Victorians in the latter half of September. Stay safe, keep your distance and maintain your sanity with hopes for some Spring snow adventures.
