22 degrees, Strong winds.......yesterday

As mentioned the warm temps and high winds knocked things around but we had such good snow early this week that we are still in business. Baw Baw has 30cm of natural snow, 45cm in key areas with man made. 4/7 lifts including Tank, Hut, Summit and Carpet. Both toboggan runs are open but only rated fair. Excellent snow play and sight seeing

St Gwinear took a hit, losing half of its snow in 24 hours due to the warm conditions. Currently 10cm at the car park. 20cm average across the plateau. Fair to good cross country skiing and 1 toboggan run open.

A few snow showers forecast today with a top of 1 degree forecast

Blue bird days

Warm and sunny up top today softening things considerably. We need some nice cold nights to freeze things up. As it stands Baw Baw has 30cm natural 50cm man made. 4/7 lifts and both toboggan runs open

St Gwinear has good snow play conditions at the car park and soft snow for skiing. Both toboggan runs open with 20cm at the car park and complete cover across the plateau averaging 38cm

Sooooo goooooodddddd

I spent the day uo at Baw Baw yesterday and the conditions are so good I want to go back. 37cm of natural snow across the resort and 53cm in key areas. 5/7 lifts operating all rated excellent except for Maltese rated Very good. Tobogganing and snowplay rated excellent with plenty of soft snow across the resort for lots of fun.

St Gwinear has 25cm at the car park. 40cm average across the plateau. Excellent cover for cross country skiing and snow shoes plus both toboggan runs are open as well as the food van.

Seasons best just got better

Truly a powder day today on the mountain. Its so good, I'm going boarding.

Baw Baw picked another 15cm of fresh dry powder bringing totals to 37cm of natural snow and the man made stuff has cracked 1/2 a metre with 53cm in key areas. It is the best day of the season so far..... There will be 5/7 lifts operating.

St Gwinear got hammered yesterday too but I don't have a firm total but expect similar numbers. At least 15cm at the car park 40cm plus up around the rock shelter. Excellent skiing and snow shoeing. AMAZING snowplay and tobogganing. See you all there

Fitting chains at time of report.

St Gwinear has 5cm at the car park and the toboggan runs are open. Good to very good skiing across the top.

Great conditions

Baw Baw has picked up another cm of snow overnight bringing totals to 19cm natural and 35cm man made. 4 lifts turning and snow forecast throughout the day down to 900m. Fitting chains at time of report.

St Gwinear has picked up another 5cm at the car park so both toboggan runs are open and its pretty as a picture

WOW

Currently Baw Baw has 19cm of natural snow and 35cm of man made, 4 lifts turning , both toboggan runs are open and The Battle at Baw Baw is open and on tonight from 4pm

Nothing official from St Gwinear until after 9am but hopefully similar numbers overnight. Parks staff will be in attendance and I will update Facebook and Instagram ASAP after I get a report.

Expect to fit chains to all vehicles today

Blizzard on the way

Hopefully......Looks like we will pick up some good snowfall over the weekend so brush up on the chain fitting skills. Overnight we got a little teaser with a dusting of snow keeping it fresh but not adding much to the totals

Baw Baw has 6cm of natural (+1cm change) and 22cm man made. 4 lifts turning and fair snowplay and tobogganing.

St Gwinear may have a dusting at the car park but tomorrows forecast looks promising. Parks staff have announce they will attend and facilities will be open including the St G Food Van

Incoming

Lots of talk and hype around the incoming snow and I am crossing my fingers it lives up to the hype. Modelling still holding up for around 20cm over the weekend for Baw Baw and hopefully St Gwinear but time will tell

As it stands -

      Baw Baw has 5cm natural. 22cm man made. 4 lifts turning for good skiing and boarding. Frosti hollow is open but starts from halfway down.

St Gwinear has no snow at the car park. insufficient cover for skiing. Parks not attending until the snow arrives again.

Snow making overnight

The crew at Baw Baw have had success overnight with snow making conducted. Net gain in key areas so 4 lifts will be turning. Hut, Tank, Summit and Carpet. 28cm man made and 5 cm natural.

Don't forget the battle of Baw Baw this weekend and lots of snow forecast so it should be huge.

St Gwinear has no snow at the car park. Walking will reward the dedicated with some snow play possible up the hill. No Toboggan runs and Parks staff not in attendane
