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