In an exciting development for snow enthusiasts, snowmaking services for the popular Pea Shooter toboggan run in Dinner Plain will commence this winter.
This initiative aims to ensure a consistent and enjoyable experience for visitors throughout the winter season, regardless of natural snowfall.
The toboggan run will be open for the season from 10am this Saturday, 14 June 2025.
For the first time, a small fee of $10 per day will be introduced for the use of the toboggan run.
This fee will support the operation and maintenance of the new snowmaking equipment, which will provide more consistent conditions for the toboggan slope.
The introduction of the snowmaking services is part of the Dinner Plain Activation Project - Council's broader commitment to enhancing the winter experience for both residents and visitors.
Alpine Shire Mayor, Cr Sarah Nicholas, said by investing in this technology, Dinner Plain aims to attract more tourists and provide a dependable winter attraction that can be enjoyed by all.
" We are thrilled to offer snowmaking on the toboggan run throughout this year's winter season," she said.
“Tobogganning is the entry point into snowsports and we’re excited to help provide a fun experience and introduce more people to our incredible alpine environment.”
"This upgrade means more consistent and reliable snow conditions, allowing families to enjoy tobogganing,” she said.
"The $10 fee is a small investment for a day full of fun and adventure on the slope."
With the new snow factory in place, visitors can look forward to a reliable and fun-filled experience when they visit.
