Good morning from a very snowy Dinner Plain!
We got a nice dump of snow over the last 24 hours mixed in with big winds and a little moisture.
So, apologies for the slightly late report today. Its been quite difficult to get an accurate measurement given above.
The best I can do (erring on the side of caution) is a base of 25cm, however there are some deep stashes of over 40cm in the village. Its still snowing and will continue for most of the day. It will be windy and snowy so rug up!
XC grooming has been complete and reflected below. Been awhile since drinks so a big thanks to our grooming team!
The toboggan slope will be operational today in good condition.
Please note in regards to the cobungra platter ski lift, Mt Hotham Skiing Company runs the lift and the status can be found at

Status on this report will default to stand-by, so updates should be checked there.
Reminders, there is no tobogganing permitted on the ski slope or cross country tracks. Please park in designated spaces for your accomodation. Parking on side of road hinders snow clearing operations. Overflow parking is available at scrubbers end. Details are available through your accomodation provider.
