Ben Lomond Alpine Resort Unveils Ski School and Snowmaking Expansion for 2026

Ben Lomond Alpine Resort (BLAR)

Tasmania’s premier lift-operated ski area, Ben Lomond Alpine Resort (BLAR), is set to elevate its winter experience with the launch of a new ski school and expanded snowmaking capabilities for the 2026 season. These developments aim to make snow sports more accessible and enjoyable for visitors of all ages and skill levels.

A Ski School Tailored for Beginners and Families

For the first time, Ben Lomond will offer an in-house ski school, designed specifically for beginners and first-time skiers and snowboarders. The program focuses on creating a welcoming and affordable entry point into snow sports, providing expert instruction in a supportive environment.

Families visiting the resort will benefit from structured lessons, guided practice, and friendly instructors who ensure a safe and fun experience on the slopes. Pricing details for the ski school will be announced in late April ahead of the season opening.

Enhanced Snowmaking for Reliable Early-Season Coverage

BLAR is also expanding its snowmaking infrastructure to improve early-season reliability and extend the skiable terrain. Upgrades include a new pump system and additional snow guns, arriving in May, which will enhance snow coverage across the resort. These improvements promise better conditions for skiing, snowboarding, and family activities right from the start of the winter season.
