Closest to Smylies at 25 min by car into the carpark ,great family field to advanced level ,great back country at this stage in Crystal Valley
Mt Cheeseman
Nice family field will be even greater once Tarn Basin opens in 2012 ,make sure you have chains or use our transfer service to get there
Mt Hutt
Chairlifts and big facilities ,for the ones who need the creature conforts after T bars, good alternative to the clubfields but with the crowds
Cragieburn
steep terrain , rope tows ,if you want international braggin rights you need to have skied here
Broken River
