Following good early snowfalls and excellent snowmaking conditions, we are excited to be the first resort in Victoria to announce lift openings for Season 2012.
On Saturday June 9, three lifts will open - Big D Quad Chairlift, Summit Trainer Poma and Upper Playground Double Chairlift.
To celebrate the season opening, a special deal on lift only passes will see $5 from every Adult Lift Only pass donated to Merlin Entertainment Group's very own charity, “Merlin’s Magic Wand”. Merlin is the new owner of Hotham Alpine Resort.
Merlin’s Magic Wand is a global children’s charity, aiming to provide magical experiences for those who are seriously ill, disabled or disadvantaged. At Hotham we hope that the funds raised may assist some of these children to access our beautiful resort this winter to enjoy a skiing or snowplay experience. The funds also go towards transport for the children to Merlin attractions.
Opening Weekend lift pass prices are:
1 DAY LIFT ONLY
Adult:  $49 – with $5 from every ticket to be donated to Merlin’s Magic Wand
Youth:Â $39
Child:Â Â $24
