Lake Mountain 2013 - Trip Reports, Pics & Conditions Comments Powered by: Ski Forum

	TeleXC 19/6/13 - 7:53pm Some patchy snow from last few days seen, more on the upper trails In the meantime keep those roller skis spinning , sounds like it might be sunny, cold and (naturally) snowless for a while
	TeleXC 18/6/13 - 10:17am Hopefully the next system will deliver, in the mean time LM are probably busy snow making for sprint X
	teckel 18/6/13 - 9:02am Reports from the mountains are saying average depth on the trails is about 2.5 cm. Not enough to do anything, other than look pretty, but it's a start.
	teckel 18/6/13 - 7:25am Seems from this morning's cam that we've lost quite a bit of it, but nevertheless, it's a start. And hopefully, for the skiers, quite a bit more higher up.
	teckel 17/6/13 - 9:57pm Excellent
	TeleXC 17/6/13 - 9:03pm Just been told its snowed about 5cms at LM and still going!
	teckel 17/6/13 - 7:03pm It was 8 deg in Narbethong as I was driving home, so I don't like the chances of snow all night I haven't even turned the heating on - just too mild for it.
	teckel 17/6/13 - 6:18pm It was snowing in the car park tonight at 5:20pm Let's hope it keeps going most of the night.
	teckel 16/6/13 - 8:16pm Yes, at least it's something people can do in times like this
	TeleXC 16/6/13 - 8:13pm cool, will look awesome with snow on it & keep people entertained when theres little snow
	teckel 16/6/13 - 8:01pm They bought if from Baw Baw & is called 'the tube'.
	TeleXC 16/6/13 - 7:49pm Looks Like it snowed .5 of a cm, all we need is a good 10cm for a ski has anyone seen this, what is this thing? where did they put it
	teckel 16/6/13 - 2:29pm Well, it snowed overnight, and here's the evidence: Now, don't everyone rush up at once!
	teckel 14/6/13 - 6:30pm Sam, it certainly wouldn't have improved from a couple of days ago. I think we just have to be patient and keep all body parts crossed that it will come sooner rather than later.
	carrotdude 14/6/13 - 5:34pm They sure are, although today they posted a panoramic video of the toboggan area and have done so a few times. They must be having issues with them.
	SnowmanSam 14/6/13 - 1:18pm Looks like the cams are down again?
	teckel 11/6/13 - 10:42pm Weather update. I think Lake Mountain will miss out on snow later this week. I think it's one or two hundred metres too low. We may get flurries, but that will be washed away by all the rain, imo. Monday or Tuesday are looking good at this stage for something - unfortunately not much, as it probably won't be wet enough, so it will only be a limited amount of snow that falls. I can't see it being enough to call it a season starter.
	Ian D 11/6/13 - 4:50pm No reason other than it stopped working for a year and so we took it off. Never noticed it back up, will sort.
	TeleXC 11/6/13 - 4:46pm How come the car park cam isn't on ski.com.au snow cams anymore? used to be there
	teckel 11/6/13 - 3:53pm I think the XC Club - will be a room, rather than a separate building. But I've heard nothing about it. If I do, I'll post here. The trailhead cam was attached to the old ski patrol room at the back of the old taj mahal dunny block.
	Ian D 11/6/13 - 3:51pm Originally Posted By: TeleXC I never knew there was a trail cam pre black saturday times. \ Yes, first camera we installed there. Was their only cam for a number of years.
	TeleXC 11/6/13 - 3:47pm Thats great that things a finally going well for XC at LM, I never knew there was a trail cam pre black saturday times. Teckel did you hear anything about plans for a new building or ski club? last year they said proceeds from tickets/season passes went to funding a new building. That snow looks really dirty, opening weekend must have been busy, It looks like 50cm when theres people standing to show a sense of scale. Lets cross our fingers for some low level snow 14th,15th my xc skis are busting to be skied with!
	teckel 11/6/13 - 10:15am They have invested in quite a bit of new snow-making gear, and they're hoping to be able to cover 2 tobgoggan runs, the beginner ski school area and the trail head. I've also spoken to them about reinstating a live trailhead cam as they had before Black Saturday. The new CEO says there's a camera mounted in that vicinity so he'll see if he can get it operating.
	TeleXC 11/6/13 - 9:54am Wow, that's good. Has anyone seen the cams on the website, It looks like there snow making for the XC trails, probably building a base for the sprint x, let's hope there building a little bit of a base of the trail head, it gets worn out so quick!
	teckel 11/6/13 - 9:27am Had a bit of a pounding over 3 days! When they rolled it out they said 50cm
	Vermillion 11/6/13 - 9:08am 50cms deep? Real lyf?
	teckel 9/6/13 - 9:37pm No natural snow for the opening weekend, but that's no different to the rest of the country's resorts. But there is man-made snow - 50cm deep on the main toboggan run. However looking ahead - our best chances of snow over the next week look to be Friday and Saturday (14th & 15th June). At this stage I would say that we may get snow falls on those days but interspersed with rain periods. Let's hope the weather charts change for the better over the next couple of days.
	teckel 8/6/13 - 7:33pm The new CEO of the resort dropped into my shop last night on a social visit. I asked him just that question - why would anyone go with a child or family membership. He responded that it mystified him and if Belgravia are still running the show next year, he would like the whole thing changed. So yep, jump in this year while it's still going.
	currawong 8/6/13 - 12:32pm if the resort manger says so, then of course i accept it. but riddle me this - WTF does the web page mean then with the child & family prices?
	p2p 6/6/13 - 10:31pm Originally Posted By: currawong maybe I misread something but this what the website said Quote: Adults � $14.00 per month for 12 months or $168.00, (Gate Entry) Children � $7.50 per month for 12 months or $90.00, (Must be in a paying vehicle) Family (2 adults and 2 children) $39.50 per month for 12 months or $474.00, (Gate Entry for nominated car) -extra child � $7.00 per month or $84. I interpret that as meaning that it is individual membership, not for a carload. Yeah, I read it the same way so sent them an email to check and got the following back from the resort manager Quote: You are correct in that the XC 500 is for the car regardless of how many are in it so is an absolute bargain.
