The highest mountain range in the nation, the Australian Alps run through Victoria and New South Wales and boast a diverse range of environments, including a smattering of snow-capped peaks perfect for skiers, snowboarders and tobogganers.
In the midst of this snow-flecked expanse lies Mount Baw Baw, a looming peak dotted with gentle terrain and slopes, scenic cross country runs and family-friendly play areas. Hit the powder with today’s Groupon for: Mount Baw Baw.
The Experience
Just two-and-a-half hours’ drive east of Melbourne, Mt Baw Baw Alpine Resort offers snow bunnies a portal to a whole new world of pristine powder and frosty fun.
Groupies strap on their skis or snowboards with a one-day midweek lift pass. Downhill junkies tear up the resort’s 35 hectares of immaculately groomed runs, with seven ski lifts offering access to a wide range of slopes perfect for peeps of every skill level and preference. 
Buffeted by snow gums and offering some of the most immaculate scenery in the state, littles have as much fun as the oldies with three snow play areas to enjoy as well as Husky dog sled tours.
Folks weary from a day of carving pow-pow and busting killer moves can unwind in the village, which boasts a range of facilities including restaurants, shops, a rock pool spa and sauna and ski hire for those who dont own their own. Groupies can buy multiple lift passes and hit the slopes again and again or bring along a bunch of boarding buddies.
Reviews
What a relief to have on-site staff doing everything they can to make your visit as pleasurable as possible. I have rarely experienced a group of people so eager to please. We stayed outside snow season and although a little pricey we would happily come back to Mt Baw Baw for a weekend stay. It sure beats the ho-hum attitude of the transient staff at other ski resorts in Victoria

We went there to have fun and that's what we all did. It was my son's first experience with snow and his only tryst so far had been with the ice from the freezer. He kept on licking the grounds all the way until the toboganning park.
