ON THE GROUND REPORT
Sep 06 2026 07:14 AM: After yesterday's wild weather temperatures have cooled and this morning we've woken up to a couple of centimetres of fresh wet snow for our final day of operations. It's currently +0.3 degrees, headed for a balmy top of 9 degrees and right now the wind is moderate out of the SSW. There's a light fog in the village however this is expected to lift and there's a good chance we may even see the sun pop out to help us see off the season. The mighty Summit Trainer looks good to go and pending assessment the Summit Quad may even get up and running too. Keep an eye on the lift report and App for updates. Also a big happy Father's Day to all the dads out there there! If you're up here today pop over to the Bird where dads will be celebrated with Apres specials, prize giveaways and tunes from 12pm. It's no secret that this season certainly was a challenging one that tested all of us. One thing that shone through however was how awesome the Hotham community was in rallying together to make the most of what we had. A big shout out to the amazing Ops team who put in all the extra work to keep us sliding for as long as possible and to our wonderful team at Patrol for having our backs out on the hill. Also big cheers to Paul, Bill and Jords for all the early morning chats and sharing of information that all goes into producing this morning waffle. Whether you're chasing warmer or cooler adventures over the coming months both Bill and I hope you have a wonderful summer and look forward to seeing you back on the hill next Winter. Thanks for reading along! Cheers, Burner.
