2025 Season Update

Despite predictions of this years winter being one of Victorias “warmest yet," mother nature showed us just how unpredictable she can be. Unlike the previous two years where snow cover was scarce and many runs constantly struggling to remain open, 2025 has seen a consistent and healthy amount of snow from opening weekend onwards. We’ve had 371cm total for the season so far and a depth of over a metre before the calendar switched to August. This fortune has meant the lodge has had over 1900 bed nights and with 118cm of snow remaining, its expected we have good skiing well into September.
