The first arctic blast across Victoria last week brought dreams of swathes of powdery white stuff coming our way - and finally hitting the ski slopes after two years of interrupted seasons!

We're talking about icy sunsets and mid-afternoon hot chocolate breaks, road trips you're your mates or getting the little ones up on the skis. 

This year, why not tick off an epic road trip up the Great Alpine Road through Gippsland on the way to Mt Hotham and Dinner Plain? The Great Alpine Road offers a gradual ascent to the ski fields and the rustic mountain village of Omeo is the ideal base. Omeo offers affordable accommodation, ski hire and alpine fuel, just 45 minutes from Mt Hotham.

Accommodation in Omeo is booking up fast – so if a trip to the snow is on your radar this year, you better get your skates on!

Weekend and mid-week packages are now available in Omeo. The Omeo Ski & Stay Packages include accommodation, ski hire, chain hire, resort entry and fuel discounts, for full details see below or online at visitgippsland.com.au/omeo-ski-and-stay-packages.
