Baw Baw Village
POP 25
Baw Baw is Victoria's smallest (and also cheapest) downhill-skiing resort and is a relaxed
option for both beginners and families. The downhill-skiing area is set over 35 hectares
with a vertical drop of 140m and seven ski lifts. Baw Baw is also a base for cross-country
skiing, with plenty of trails, including one that connects to the Mt St Gwinear trails on the
southern edge of the plateau. In winter the day car park costs $35/40 (weekday/weekend)
per car; during green season it's $8 per day. Lifts per adult/child cost from $65/45 per day
midweek and $72/50 on weekends; cross-country passes cost $12/7 and toboggan passes
are $8 per person. Mt Baw Baw Ski Hire ( 03-5165 1120; www.bawbawskihire.com.au ) rents out equip-
ment. For freestyle riders, Cactus Rail Park has rails and kick boxes, and there's the Big Air
Bag , where you can practise your snowboarding stunts with a guaranteed soft landing!
