Mt Hotham

Jul 12 2026 06:25 AM: This is worth coming back for! We've had an average of 17 cm of cold snow overnight and there is still the odd burst being blown through by the strong northwest wind this morning. The current temperature is minus 4, and the forecast is calling for the snow showers to intensify later in the day. This snow has certainly improved the cover below the road and I'm hopeful that we'll be able to get The Village running today. An assessment will be made at first light, and if it's a goer, all the operations teams will be doing what they can to have it spinning as soon as possible. And I suspect the strong wind may play havoc with the upper chair lifts, so keep a close eye on the lift status this morning. I'll hopefully see you cutting a few laps of The Village Loop today, but regardless of how things play out in the short term, we are definitely heading in the right direction. Enjoy. And thanks heaps for covering me while I was busy doing other stuff lately Burner. I owe you! Cheers Bill
