Snow time to wait – we’re recruiting first responders at Mt Baw Baw
 
Are you ready to start your day with the sunrise, breathing in the fresh, crisp mountain air? As a member of our ski patrol team, you'll have the important task of opening and assessing the ski areas and toboggan runs, ensuring an incredible day on the slopes for our diverse guests who are eager to soak up some snow time.
