Ski Resort
There is a ski resort to the west of the summit. There are about 30 hectares of mainly beginner - intermediate ski runs. Seven lifts that service a variety of runs, with the highest going almost to the top of Mount Baw Baw. The resort village is at the bottom of the lifts, offering ski in - ski out access. In addition to the downhill runs there are a number of cross country trails offering access to other parts of the Baw Baw plateau. Like most lower lying Australian ski resorts, the snow cover can often be variable from year to year. A reliable snow cover is regularly available for the ski season locally from about July to the end of September.

Famous quotes containing the words ski and/or resort:
“The goal for all blind skiers is more freedom. You don’t have to see where you’re going, as long as you go. In skiing, you ski with your legs and not with your eyes. In life, you experience things with your mind and your body. And if you’re lacking one of the five senses, you adapt.”
—Lorita Bertraun, Blind American skier. As quoted in WomenSports magazine, p. 29 (January 1976)
“If the worker and his boss enjoy the same television program and visit the same resort places, if the typist is as attractively made up as the daughter of her employer, if the Negro owns a Cadillac, if they all read the same newspaper, then this assimilation indicates not the disappearance of classes, but the extent to which the needs and satisfactions that serve the preservation of the Establishment are shared by the underlying population.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
