Mt Baw Baw, Victoria
Mt Baw Baw is the closest downhill ski resort to Melbourne at just 157km which equates to about 2.5 hours drive. Clearly one of the "smaller" resorts Mt Baw Baw has a lot to offer the beginner and improving skier/boarder. With a huge variety of beginner and intermediate terrain it is a great place to learn, perfect your technique or just have fun in general!
Mt Baw Baw offers 7 lifts (3 T bars and 4 Platters) as well as 10km of groomed XC trails and snowplay and toboggan areas. The more experienced XC skiers can follow trails all the way to Mt St Gwinear 5.5km to the east. There is a lot on offer for snowboarders with heaps of natural hits and many of the runs off the Malteese Cross T Bar forming natural half pipes. Mt Baw Baw offers a fully qualified ski school with local and overseas instructors.
Mt Baw Baw targets the family skiiers and boarders with significantly cheaper lift tickets and a family resort atmosphere bred from the large number of private lodges on the mountain. The spectacular scenery on offer from Baw Baw has to be seen to be believed with stunning views across the LaTrobe Valley to Western Port Bay and Wilsons Promontory.
