  cheap tows, space to build kickers, a rail or two here and there, some burley roof drops, some sick back-country riding, and an on-mountain pub make Lomond the best place to ride or ski in Tassie!!!

  Ben Lomond is the largest of the two fields in Tasmania. It has some 8 tows covering the mountain which is an easy 1 hr drive from Launceston.
  It is a small field that focuses on fun...cheap lift tickets and easy access to the runs, which make Ben a favorite among locals, and a playground for the states north. It has one resort on mountain offering accomodation and a number or private lodges. There is a bar and restaurant and changing facilities, but the drive up is steep and winding, so check the forecast before you head up, and throw in some chains!!

  Well if you want to get good at skiing or boarding Ben's the place to go!. You can hone your skills avoiding all the rocks that generally poke up out of the snow. You can also get very skilled at using the T bars, as the runs are so short you'll spend more time on the lift that on the runs.
