2025: What an Adventure

As the lifts stop spinning for another year, we’re taking a moment to reflect on an unforgettable season. It all began with a 70cm snowstorm over the King’s Birthday Weekend, setting the tone for winter. From crisp bluebird days and perfectly groomed runs, to the best powder turns we’ve had in years plus world-class events that lit up the mountain, 2025 really delivered. We also opened a brand new Snowplay Hub at Wire Plan - becoming a lively district for families, day-trippers and snow adventurers.

We hope you got to be part of it, here’s our look back at the season that was...

If that doesn’t have you counting down the days until next season (FYI, approximately 243 days to go), maybe some stats will get you excited…

2025 EVENTS

Speaking of events, we hosted some amazing ones this season, here’s some of the highlights…It all kicked off at the Pirate Life Rail Jam, showcasing the new Big D Terrain Park under lights in all its glory: vibes were high, and the tricks were large.

The Freeride World Tour events battled some tough weather conditions (but amazing snow) to showcase some of the best on our iconic freeriding terrain.

The Hotham Banked Slalom returned to its spiritual home of Gun Barrel and didn't disappoint. Then, Australian Olympic hopefuls descended on the boarder cross track to battle it out in the Australian New Zealand Cup in both Skier Cross and Boardercross.

Finally, late August saw some of the best Junior Alpine racers tackle the steeps in the Snow Australia Children’s Carnival.

We partied into spring and brought the après vibes back to Hotham. Epic Appreciation, Pride Weekend and Retro days were the highlights, with The Bird deck going off.

Finally, we held inaugural Hotham Bird Bath Pond Skim! The weather turned it on, the community was out in force, and we finished the season with a splash!

We’ve cherished every turn, every powder day, and every shared smile that made 2025 so special. Thank you for being part of our mountain family and creating the magic with us. 💙 Until next winter, keep the stoke alive, we can’t wait to welcome you back in 2026 to do it all over again.
