At Hotham, we understand how crucial it is to dress appropriately for the ever-changing mountain weather. That’s why we’ve teamed up with Icebreaker to bring you the Layer of the Day. With a wide range of layers to choose from, Icebreaker's Layer of the Day is specifically designed to help you pick the optimal layering combination based on the current weather conditions at Hotham.
Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday our snow report story will include detailed recommendations from Icebreaker, so you can start your day on the slopes with confidence, knowing you are well-prepared for whatever winter conditions come your way. You'll also find a banner on our Snow Report every day with the best recommendation for that day. Our recommendations are tailored to four distinct temperature levels, ensuring you never misjudge your layering needs.
You'll find Icebreaker available to purchase at Pinnacle and OneTree Sports in Hotham Central.
