THE COURSE

21km Snow Rake

Designed as a stepping stone to the Merino Muster, the 21km Snow Rake is a very achievable challenge for novice to intermediate skiers, while still offering plenty of variety for more experienced skiers.

Starting from the Snow Farm stadium, the course heads around Highlander and into Mary’s Trail, before continuing out onto Hanging Valley. From there, skiers cross Musterers Flat and make their way to Meadow Hut.

The route then turns back through Tranquillity, along the Top of the Loop and returns to the Snow Farm Base Area and finish.

The course route may vary from year to year depending on snow levels, snow conditions and weather. The final course will be confirmed before race day, with safety and skiable conditions always the priority.

A great introduction to the Merino Muster experience — come and challenge yourself on the Snow Rake!
