Good morning everyone,
Another nice day on it's way today, light winds and mainly sunny!
The village has had a light freeze overnight so roads will be slippery, take care walking and driving.
Snow will soften during the day.
XC grooming has been paused today due to thin cover.
The toboggan slope is open today along with the cafe at scrubbers shelter. Don't forget to get your tickets at the shelter prior to heading down. Given temps forecast for today, the surface will start semi firm and soften quickly during the day.
Please note in regards to the cobungra platter ski lift, Mt Hotham Skiing Company runs the lift and the status can be found at

Status on this report will default to stand-by, so updates should be checked there.
Reminders, there is no tobogganing permitted on the ski slope. Please park in designated spaces for your accomodation. Parking on side of road hinders snow clearing operations. Overflow parking is available at scrubbers end. Details are available through your accomodation provider.
