Hotham fired up the snowguns overnight following some favourable conditions presented by Mother Nature. With only 7 sleeps to go, the snowmaking has commenced in preparation for next weekend’s season opening.
Snowmaking started around 1am on Saturday morning and has been running since then. The Main Line (Heavenly Valley and Village areas) and Big D Systems were started and around 400 cubic metres had been produced by 6am.

What Is Power Balance?
Power Balance Performance Technology has been embedded with naturally occuring frequencies found in nature that have been known to react positively with your body’s energy field to amplify cell to cell communication. When cells communicate better, the body works better-improving balance, flexibility, strength, endurance, stamina, focus and overall wellness.
How Does Power Balance Work?
When Power Balance comes in contact with the body’s energy field, it resonates at a low-level frequency that improves the flow of energy throughout the body and helps regulate its static energy. Like a tuning fork, Power Balance creates cellular harmony that allows you to perform at your optimum level.

Hey Everyone,
Are you getting the itch to strap on your snowboard after a long hot summer? Well now is your chance… Head to Mt Baw Baw.
A New Dry Slope has been erected for your year round ripping needs.
What’s Dry Slope?
Dry Slope is a material designed to simulate sliding on the snow, and won’t wreck your skis or snowboard in any way. Think of it as looking a bit like fake grass, but as slippery as the white stuff.
Official launch is Australia Day Weekend – in conjunction with the Down to Earth Festival running 23rd and 24th January.
Awesome activities include: A mad BABs (big airbag) to perfect your Rodeos, Wicked mini terrain park and always fun, dry slope tubing.
Other declared dates for the Dry Slope to be out at this stage are:
Â
February 13-14th – Valentine’s Day Weekend.
March 6-7th  - Labour Day Weekend
April 3-4th – Easter Weekend.
Dry Slope activities cost $25 for half day access pass.
Â
With the sprinkling of snow that is falling as we speak, should be loads of FUN!
Â
Check out the photo’s.
Â
So, no excuses, get ahead, grab some mates and learn new skills for the upcoming season.
WHOOP!

With the little amount of snow at Baw Baw at the moment the park guys have done an amazing job keeping most of the features on the mountain in great condition and open ,as you can see from these photos that Shel from Baw Baw kindly sent to me, things are looking fantastic, well done Baw Baw crew. Baw Baw Melbourne’s closest and cheepest mountain is well worth the drive and hit the park. Check out the virtual tour of Mt Baw Baw. Dont forget The Invitional a comp for the Bros not the Pros presented by Mt Baw Baw and RPS on the 22nd August click here for more details
Yer Yer we know, it’s like Thursday and we haven’t posted any Battle at Baw Baw updates yet………sorry about that but we have been like super busy (ride everything day yesterday) and have been waiting for our friends at TSC to edit this clip, and we must say I think they have done a super fine job too. Check out these young guns ripping Australia’s finest stair rail
Must say, the quality of the young riders this year was a highlight of the event. Yes Robbie was there and yes Mitch and Alex SMOOOOTHED the rails all arvo and yes Ben ALMOST landed that forward flip on the down, BUT I must admit to see those juniors hit that feature without any hesitation was an inspiration to us older mature not quite so young guns. A special thanks to TSC for the clip too, is rad………… (more…)
Well I no is late but we always leave the best till last. Everyone noes the results, well done Robbie, Mitch, Chris and all the riders that competed in what was a great display of snowboarding. Well done to Tim and the park crew for putting together an amazing stair set in very limited snow. Over all it was a huge weekend and very well done to Forum and Mt Baw Baw on putting together a great comp. Im still trying to put the weekend  together after the masive after party. Im sorry but you will have to wait a little more,  we should have photos and a movie up later, trust me it will be good.
2009 is shaping up to be the biggest season on record, which you may say is a big call considering up until a day or so ago we didn’t have a whole lot on the ground, but anyway thats in the past, IT’S GONNA BE BIG!!! Speaking of BIG, the annual Battle at Baw Baw is on again and this year really does promise to be a great event. Our mates at Forum tell us the interst for this event is massive this year, which does not supprise us at all given the great press we have received in the past and the feed back from some of Australia’s best riders. OH YER, keep an eye out for a NEW FEATURE this year………………….cant say much, but do suggest you get up and take a look.
