snow report
UPDATED 14/6/2026
Hi Everyone.
Snowmaking conditions are expected to improve later tonight, with lower humidity levels moving across the mountain which may allow us to fire up the snow guns and continue building snow coverage where possible.
There is some rain forecast later in the week, however this is expected to be followed by colder fronts and improving alpine temperatures which should once again allow the snow guns to operate and help us establish a solid base quickly across key areas.
Like many alpine areas across Australia this season, we are frustrated with the current weather patterns and inconsistent temperatures. That said, it is still early days in the season and historically it is often late June when temperatures become consistently cold enough for stronger and more reliable snowmaking production.
The exciting news is that another snow gun is joining our snowmaking family this week, giving us additional capacity to make snow faster, improve coverage and work toward opening more efficiently as conditions allow.
Our team remains on standby around the clock and will continue making snow whenever the weather gives us the opportunity.
We appreciate everyone’s patience and support and look forward to bringing you further updates throughout the week.

Snow Safety
INTRODUCTION: TO A FUN SAFE TRIP TO THE SNOWFIELDS
The alpine environment is a beautiful destination for winter or summer holidays and a venue for many challenging and exciting activities including skiing and bush walking. Alpine areas however, can be hazardous if visitors are careless and irresponsible. Even on the shortest visit to the snow it is important to be prepared for, and be aware of, the nature of the alpine environment.
When planning your trip to the snowfields, select a resort or area which caters for you and your group’s needs as facilities, experiences and opportunities vary widely between resorts and various parts of the Alpine National Parks and high country. Generally, the better the planning the better the outcome, more fun and less hassles.
FIRST-TIMER ESSENTIALS
The following information is essential and relevant to all visitors to alpine areas, regardless of the length of the visit or the type of alpine activity. When planning it is important to prepare your vehicle for a trip to the snow, and organise your clothing and equipment. Snow sport is more enjoyable if you improve your fitness and organise lessons. Once there, take special care with children. Arrange to leave details of your trip with a responsible contact.
Alcohol and drugs don’t cut it in the snow. Alcohol and drugs impair judgement, slow response time and reduce your ability to respond in an emergency.
ALPINE RESPONSIBILITY CODE – SKI LIFTS
There are inherent risks in all snow recreational activities. Common sense, staying in control and personal awareness can reduce these risks. Risks include rapid changes in weather, visibility and surface conditions, as well as natural and artificial hazards such as rocks, trees, stumps, vehicles, lift towers, snow fences and snowmaking equipment. Observe the code and ski and ride with courtesy to others.
OBSERVE THE CODE
Regardless of how you enjoy your snow sport, there are inherent risks in all snow recreational activities. While in an alpine environment always show courtesy to others and be aware that common sense, protective equipment and personal awareness can reduce the risks. These risks include rapid changes in the weather, visibility and surface conditions, as well as natural and artificial hazards such as rocks, trees, stumps, vehicles, lift towers, snow fences and snowmaking equipment.
Snow sports are lots of fun, but if you do not pay attention to the Code, you could end up hurting yourself or those around you. Observe the Code and share with others the responsibility for a great experience.
Respect gets respect. From the lift line, to the slopes, through the park and the resort.
SKI PATROL
From 1st July through until mid-September a permanent ski patrol is stationed at Ben Lomond in case of any medical emergency.
