So my friend and I bought our tickets online and went to the top to pick up our tickets from the cafe. We get down to the carivan park with time to spare. Shuttle rocks up and we get asked for our booking name, give it to him and ticks us off his list and is about to hand us the same wrist bands we got at the top haha. We're like we already picked ours up and he's like sorry we're still sorting all this out. All g, next time we will know.Would be great if there was an online booking or somewhere in Marysville to get a shuttle pass/wristband for a shuttle up/ride back down to the car scenario.
It's just an inconvenience having to buy at the top.
Sounds like Lake Mountain doesn't have their wits about them for this. We collected our tickets from the cook, the assistant working the register didnt really know what he was doing. And yeah to have found out we could have collected our pre-paid shuttle passes from the shuttle operator. Ah well.
The shuttle operator sounded very clued up and expressed he understood the desire for more gravity oriented trails serviced by shuttles, he understood thats where the money was. I think if he gets more of a say in what goes on Lake Mountain could be one of the best destinations for MTB'ing in VIC if the willingness to run shuttles remains. I'd make the journey every weekend for that kind of terrain and quality of trail.
