It seems to be the trend that my ski seasons are increasingly bookended by early autumn and then late spring Baw Baw systems. Whilst this winter's snow season has been abysmal (the first in long time where I couldn't be bothered driving up to any of Victoria's 3 main resorts), I have still managed to ski each calendar month since May, including a fun 4 days at Thredbo with the boys, so not all bad.
The storm on Friday into Saturday was always going to be a Baw Baw special, and I got up at 4am to get there early so the snow would still be cold. There was a heap of trees down and crap on the road from the wild weather, and I needed to put chains on to get up the hill.
The usual BB beauty, a complete rime forest, with some pretty light coming through later in the morning. The snow quality stayed fine, with some particularly lovely lines off Big Hill in very fine snow.
I had about a dozen runs, my achilles was starting to ache after a vertical kilometre of climbing, and you tire of transitioning for the short runs.
As usual the hill to myself apart from a couple of snowboarders and some tourists enjoying snow-play.
