Good morning from up here!
Another cracka of a day weather wise on its way.
Our natural snowfall is not great at present which means the XC trails are now mostly back to green season condition. There are some small stashes of snow to play in but essentially for reporting purposes we are at under a cm in our testing areas on average.
Ski slope is also closed but the good news is the toboggan slope is open as the snowmaking technology can run in most conditions!
An ideal day to get out there and breathe the fresh mountain air!
Peashooter (our toboggan slope) is open (10am-4pm)
Save time and purchase toboggan tix online.

Use of the toboggan slope is prohibited when closed as machinery may be in use to snowmake and groom, not to mention unsafe conditions.
Snow on the ski slope will continue to be made when conditions permit and it is prohibited to use toboggans on this slope.
Cross Country Operations will start when conditions allow (still not enough snow)
Winter road operations are now in place and one way traffic is in force on Big Muster Drive between Halter Lane and The Roundabout. Chains need to be carried and fitted where directed between Harrietville and Omeo. Please do not park on the grass or on sides of roads as it hinders snow clearing operations and destroys vegetation.
Welcome to winter 2026!
