Falls Creek Ice Plunge to Welcome 2023
Mountainwatch | Press Release
Are you brave enough to face the chilly challenge of the annual Ice Plunge? This ritual sees fancy-dressed clad locals and visitors take a dip in the frigid waters of Rocky Valley Lake.
This tradition is always performed on the first day of Winter as an offering to snow gods to secure a bountiful winter season. This year is extra special as four-time winter Olympian and Falls Creek local, Britt Cox is taking the plunge too!
All event proceeds go to support the incredible work of Fight MND in battling Motor Neuron Disease and searching for a cure. There are many ways to show your support. Plunge for just $10, donate directly or purchase an official Big Freeze beanie or pair of socks (available from our Visitor Information Centre from next week).
If that isn’t enough, local businesses have donated over $2,000 worth of prizes up for grabs for the brave participants who catch a duck! Warm up with a hot cuppa and a barbecue breakfast around fire pits post-plunge.
If three-degree water and tiny swimming trunks isn’t your thing, come along to watch the spectacle and enjoy a breakfast roll cooked by local SES volunteers.
Bring your swimmers and join us to celebrate the winter and raise funds for Fight MND.
When: 10am – 12:30pm, Thursday June 1st
Where: Rocky Valley Foreshore, Falls Creek
