Welcome back, epyic crew!

This week’s epyic explorer is all about getting out there, whatever the terrain. Our featured adventure takes things up a notch with a two day backcountry ski course at Hotham Heights, perfect for anyone ready to push past the resort boundaries. Prefer your adventures a little warmer? We’ve got scuba dives, local hikes, and rolling bike trails ready to go. Winter or not, there’s something waiting just outside your door.
