February 7^th 2009 will be remembered by all Australians as the day Fire destroyed life, property, infrastructure and natural resource in the worst natural disaster in our history.   Lake Mountain and Lake Mountain Ski Hire, Marysville were not spared from the destruction.

Fortunately Lake Mountain Resort’s main building containing the administration, shelter and Bistro were spared and the buildings and infrastructure destroyed by fire have been replaced for the 2009 season with temporary facilities as they plan for their replacement.  The trail system, toboggan runs and walking tracks have been repaired and re-signed and Lake Mountain is 100% ready for business.

Lake Mountain Ski Hire, Marysville was completely destroyed by fire and our much loved manager Kirstie and her husband Isak perished attempting to save their home, leaving 3 children behind.  Kirstie and Isak will be greatly missed.

The good news is that a temporary building has been erected at 25 Murchison Street in Marysville to accommodate all new equipment.  We will be operating opposite a temporary marquee which will provide food and shelter for visitors during winter.  We will still provide the same quality well priced equipment with friendly and efficient staff to ensure your day in the snow is enjoyable for all the family.

We are really looking forward to seeing you this winter as we re establish in 2009.
