Mount Hotham, Australia - Victoria
:: RESORT SPONSOR ::
Mount Hotham summary
Mount Hotham has a justified reputation for good snow. With an airport just 20 minutes drive from the resort it is the most accessible of the Australian resorts. There are about 10 flights a week from Sydney, at present. 13 lifts serve a wide variety of runs at Mount Hotham that should keep most happy, from the long cruisers at 2.5 km, to shorter but steeper terrain for advanced skiers. One interesting point to note is that Mount Hotham resort is topsy turvy! The car park is at the top and the slopes lead off below it. So, the last run of the day will be on a lift, try doing the same in the Alps! Even better is the free snow cat tow service into the backcountry! You may also pay about one hundred AUS dollars to get a chopper ride to Falls creek resort to access the 18 lifts. However, it is understood that Falls Creek can be accessed by car during the winter. Mount Hotham village has a wide range of accommodation and some bars and restaurants in which to recover from the day on the slopes.

Visitor Reviews of Mount Hotham
Tony Harrington from AUSTRALIA writes:
Mt Hotham is certainly one of the best ski resorts in Australia - particularly if you are a good skier and don't mind some adverse weather (which brings the best snow). The challenging terrain, plenty of tree skiing and atmosphere of the place makes it a seriously fun mountain. Ski in, ski out, great dining and bars make for a traditional Aussie alpine experience. If you are after epic conditions day in, day out, go ski Colorado - but if you are after a true blue Aussie spirited snow holiday, this is certainly the place to find it.
