First Light Boards brought the splitboard festival to Victoria for the first time, with an event at Mt Hotham last weekend.
Things kicked off with a showing of the Backcountry film festival at The General on friday night.
On saturday morning a small but enthusiastic group meet at Mt Loch carpark before heading out to do some runs at Eagle Ridge, then had a long walk out to Mt Loch and Machinery Spur to check the runs.
