Snow waiting for adventurous

THOSE seeking some winter action will be pleased to hear Lake Mountain and Mt Baw Baw are excited to be opening for the first time this year on Saturday, 11 June. With a little snow falling on the mountains, and more forecast, many will soon head up the mountains. Lake Mountain will celebrate with the official opening of the brand new ‘Bunton Riglet Park’. The park is designed to introduce youngsters (aged 3 to 6) to snowboarding in a safe and controlled environment. The park uses natural features designed to aid in the development of balance and board movement. Pictured is Lucas, 4, from Boronia, getting in his first toboggan ride for 2016. 155278_01
