The Hotham Guest Services team is dedicated to making your holiday at Hotham exactly how you imagined it. Check out what the team have been up to around the resort and if you have any questions 'just ask' - they will respond as soon as they can! Harry the snow dragon will also make guest appearances, so stay online to be apart of all of Harry's fun!

Another beautiful sunny day here at Hotham! It has been an exciting weekend with the Interschools Grand Prix and the Australian Junior Snowboard Series taking place. We feel privelliged to be able to host and watch some great up and coming young skiers and snowboarders!

The clouds rolled in last night and it's cooollllddd out there - It's a day for layers and lots of hot chocky breaks!

There's snow in the forecast, L'oreal Ladies Week starts tomorrow, Bingo on Tuesday, Harry show on Wednesday, Movie Night on Thursday... and Sunset Tours are now running!! I'm exhausted (and soooo excited) just thinking about it!

Big Favour to ask - please please please write back to our blogs, we're very sad here in Guest Services and need some love :(

See you out there!!

The snow gods have delivered over the last few days here at Hotham, bringing us 31cm of the fluffy white stuff that we love! Hotham and Dinner Plain have been transformed with a blanket of fresh snow, and it has allowed us to open more lifts and terrain.

Summit and Road Runner chairs are now open, as well as Cobungra Lift at Dinner Plain which is a great option for beginners. For the intermediate/advanced riders, The Cornice and Imagine are now open off Heavenly Valley chair.

Today, the sun is shining and the mountain is looking great. We're preparing for another fantastic weekend up here, come and join us!

Exciting news, our first sunset tour will be going ahead tomorrow night (weather dependant - fingers crossed!). We still have spots available as I write this, so give us a call (5759 4469) or pop in and see us to book! They will be running every day except Friday and Sunday.

There's something about a clear sunny morning, when everyone seems to get an extra hit of happiness - Maybe it's the vitamin D?

Today is the day to get out and take some happy snaps with your family and friends - as Harry would say "The view from up here is amazing". BUT, enjoy it while you can, as tonight will be a night to snuggle up on the couch with a hot chocky and watch the weather come in... I don't want to jinx it, but we are expecting some white stuff with this front (and by some I mean almost a lot)

Apologies in advance if you can't get us on the phones this AM, it's just too good out there, might be a day to leave the boss man the fort :) Just kidding Woodsy!

Have an awesome day!

What an awesome day for our favorite snow dragon's Birthday!!!
Overnight snow making and clear sunny skies this morning sets the scene for an awesome day on the slopes. When it's all said and done, join us at the Big D for the LIVE Harry Show (fancy working on your birthday!!) followed by an awesome party with pass the parcel, pin the tail on Harry and so much more!! As if that's not enough we've got fireworks around 6:15 and night skiing from 6:30 - 9:30 - WOW - Sounds like a typical amazing day at Hotham! xoxo

Waking was a joy this morning... OK I'll stop lying - getting out of a nice warm bed is never easy. BUT, it was an awesome walk to work, looking down and making footprints through the fresh snow and looking up to clouds building over Feathertop hopefully bringing snow yet clear sunny skies everywhere else!

Now it's just a race to get out there and enjoy the fresh tracks! Bring it on! Don't forget tonight we have our Apre Evening with wines from Feathertop winery as well as BINGO for the Kids at the Big D!
