Early snow heralds winter's arrival at Mt Hotham

Posted 9 May 2023

Snow in early May is a harbinger of winter, and with 20 cm already fallen over the past week, we’re ready for the thrill of the chill! It’s time to get the winter woollies out and prepare for the season opening on 10 June.

Don’t forget to sign up for Hotham’s daily snow reports.

New at Hotham for 2023

Hotham is great already, but we have some exciting news for 2023. First up – fireworks! Every Wednesday through July and August, the sky above Mt Hotham will light up with a fabulous pyrotechnic display. Keep an eye on the Hotham website for details.

Miss Mary’s is expanding. In 2023, you’ll be able to relax with their signature cocktails at their new bar area overlooking Heavenly Valley and Mt Feathertop.

And Zirky’s welcomes Steph Graham, from the iconic Donovan’s Restaurant in Melbourne, to curate their winter menu. Sign up for Mt Hotham’s Resort Reports and stay tuned for some gastronomic delights!
