Ski fields were only made accessible for Melburnians at the weekend, but some visitors without tests were turned away at checkpoints.
"In line with updated government advice, Melbourne guests are still encouraged to get tested before visiting," the Mount Hotham Alpine Resort Management Board said.
"We will continue to maintain a presence at the Harrietville gate during peak periods."
The checkpoints will be used for snow-chain-carrying compliance with visitors urged to be prepared.
Victoria Police Chief Commissioner Shane Patton told 3AW police had assisted with compliance at the resorts when Melburnians weren't allowed and would be establishing a "soft border" to watch for travellers from NSW.
"Given the concerns with the red zones in NSW, we have now implemented a new operation ... specifically up around Wodonga, Wangaratta and around there because of concerns about an influx to the snow fields," he said.
"We've sent up extra resources from here, we've sent up our automatic number plate recognition vans."
Commissioner Patton compared an offence detection rate of 1.14 per 1000 cars checked during the hard border closure in December, to 48 offences per 1000 cars during roving police patrols when Melbourne and regional areas had different restrictions.
"There's benefits to both models and it's subject to what the restrictions are and what the assessment of risk is at the time," he said.
Victoria Tourism Industry Council chief executive Felicia Mariani said ensuring Victorians could visit the snow for the school holidays was crucial.
"All things going well, within two weeks we will be back to pre-lockdown 4.0 settings, which is critical for businesses operating on a financial knife edge," she said.
But Victorian Chamber of Commerce and Industry chief executive Paul Guerra said restrictions pre-lockdown should snap back now.

"We should be taking a giant leap ... but instead we continue to limp out of restrictions, meaning our recovery will lag at a pace that is unacceptable with no virus circulating in the community," he said.
"The state government should remove the density limits for hospitality, events and entertainment and also remove the requirement for masks to be worn inside workplaces."
