Back to EpisodesMount Baw Baw's Future Uncertain
Description
Mount Baw Baw alpine resort in Gippsland faces concerns over insufficient government support, with dwindling resources since the Victorian government took over management. The resort, a beginner-friendly spot, serves as a crucial entry point for new skiers and families, boosting local economies. However, the resort now offers limited accommodation, staff, and summer activities. Locals fear losing an affordable haven, while a new adaptive sports program for people with disabilities highlights the resorts role in inclusive winter fun. Alpine Resorts Victoria reports a thirty percent deficit reduction, but the resort still operates at a loss. Stakeholders hope for quick clarity on the lease and sustainability to keep Mount Baw Baw thriving as a key feeder for Victorias snow scene.
