Skiing and snowboarding
Snowboarding and skiing are close at hand --you can be on the slopes at Ohau Snowfields within 30 minutes from Lake Ohau Cottage appreciating the uncrowded conditions and fabulous awesome views.
Ohau Snowfield was featured in a "Getaway" programme on Australia's Channel 9 Travel Channel (see article: Skiing in Ohau). Or, there are other snowfields in the Mackenzie area: Mackenzie snowfields.
