35cm of dry fluffy fresh snow in the past 48 hours means the powder capital resort of Australia now has a 1 metre base and excellent skiing and snowboarding.
With more lifts and terrain set to open this weekend, Hotham is ramping it up for peak season and they’re just getting started.
Cold temperatures means the snow will stay beautiful and chalky this weekend and we expect clear sunny days, perfect for a winter weekend away.
Saturday night’s fireworks kicked off a fun night of music, food and good vibes as part of school holiday celebrations.
For the kids, Hotham’s mascot, Harry the Snowdragon, was out and about taking photos with guests.
You can sing along and dance with Harry the Snowdragon show at 4pm every Wednesday and Saturday at the Big D Kids Ski & Ride School.
