The forecast snow for last night didn't eventuate......again. A few flurries forecast today and snow likely tomorrow down to 1100m so should be in good shape for the weekend.
As it stands 4 lifts turning and 38cm average in key areas i.e. Hut, Tank, Carpet. 4cm of natural snow. Frosti open but rated poor.
St Gwinear has no snow........:-(
Baw Baw is still running 4 lifts today with 38cm of man made snow in key areas. There is 4cm of natural across the resort so only fair to good snow play. Snow expected today and tomorrow so everybody needs to snow dance so we can get more terrain open and start the cross country stuff.
St Gwinear still only has patches at the car park so more suited to sight seeing
I often get asked why Baw Baw doesn't "just turn on the snow machines"..........In a nutshell its all about the conditions. It has to be at least 2 degrees below zero. Humidity and wind speed must be perfect. It is a fine art with Baw Baws old equipment. They do their very best and make snow every time possible. Please feel free to Email a politician and ask for increased funding for Mount Baw Baw so they can buy a "SNO FACTORY" This machine would guarantee snow on the toboggan run at least as it operates in temps up to 16 degrees above zero.
That means the lift lines are short and the snow is good. The team at Baw Baw have been hard at it again overnight making sure the runs are in tip top shape with man made snow. Currently scheduled to have 4 lifts turning. Hut Run, Tank Hill, Summit and Magic Carpet all operating today on 38cm of man made snow. Frosti Hollow also operating for the kids and big kids on toboggans.
St Gwinear still has no snow but forecasts are predicting low level snow over the next few days so cross your fingers
Baw Baw has had the snow guns going overnight in key areas so expect a fresh ungroomed cover on Tank Hill, Hut Run and Magic Carpet as well as Frosti Hollow for the toboggans.
St Gwinear may have a few icy patches left at the car park and will still be pretty but limited to sight seeing
Baw Baw has only picked up 1cm of fresh snow overnight but that's keeping them in the game. As it stands 34cm of man made and Tank, Hut and magic carpet to operate. Frosti is open for toboggans. Fitting chains at time of report
St Gwinear is unlikely to have much (if anything at the carpark other than sight seeing and snowplay. Don't expect toboggan runs but do expect chains today
Baw Baw still has 3 lifts. 32cm man made. 4cm natural on average. Consistent low freezoing point below 1200m over the next few days should see snow again. Expect to fit wheel chains all weekend.
St G still has none at car park but expect tomorrows report to deliver good news
Good news to wake up to this morning with 25cm possible over the next 7 days. Snow dance time folks as all resorts struggle under those pesky highs that keep pushing the good stuff south.
As it stands Baw Baw has 34cm of man made snow on Hut Run, Tank Hill and Magic Carpet for skiing and boarding. Frosti Hollow has a good man made cover for tobogganing. Kids club for free in Village Central from 2-4pm and don't forget the huskies.
St Gwinear has none at the car park but the keen hiker will find some for snowplay and sight seeing. Again snowdance time and hopefully it will pick some up
Baw Baw has had a cracker of a night making snow bringing man made total AVERAGES to 34cm in snow making areas. That mean Hut Run to tower 2, Tank Hill all the way and the good old Magic Carpet for the beginners. Frosti Hollow will be open with a fresh ungroomed man made cover meaning heaps of fun for the young and young at heart.
St Gwinear still has no snow unless you like to walk but don't let that put you off. Grab a donut at Alfies food Van and head uphill for some sightseeing and snowplay
Another 1cm of snow overnight at BB means we are still going ok. 3 lifts running. Hut run to tower 2, Tank Hill and magic carpet. All lessons are filling fast so get in quick. Average snow depth of 4cm across the resort means snow paly and sightseeing are good. Toboggans on Frosti Hollow and kids club all happening. 24cm ofman made on areas open.
St Gwinear has remnants of snow at the car park. A bit of a hike up the trails will reward the fit with enough to toboggan on
Conditions are great today at Baw Baw but expect a cold one. Temps should allow for some snow making today to keep things fresh. Good totals on Hut Run, Tank Hill and Magic Carpet mean great skiing and boarding. Lessons are full steam ahead and toboggans will be pumping down Frosti Hollow. Still lots of free activities like kids club if your kids are tiring allowing you a couple of hours alone on the slopes while they get entertained in Village Central from 2pm till 4pm.
Baw Baw has 6 cm of natural and 26cm of man made. 3 lifts but Hut Run will be a tower 2 unload.
St Gwinear still hasn't got enough at the car park and Parks are not in regular attendance but will patrol throughout the day. Sight seeing and snow play up the trails only
