Welcome to Winter 2026!
I hope you've had a beaut summer and are now excited about the season ahead. Who knows how it'll pan out, but I'm certain there'll be lots of fun to be had both on and off the slopes.
The Summit Trainer is set to spin this morning, and the operations team are working around the clock to have more lifts and terrain open as soon as possible. Stay tuned for updates.
The sky is a 50/50 mix of cloud and clear, and there is a moderate breeze from the southwest. The current temp is just below zero and we are heading for a top of 4 degrees. It should be a pleasant day out there today and the weather looks stella for tomorrow and Monday, so it should be a great Opening Weekend.
Dust off your equipment, get out there and stretch your legs, and get along to one of the many functions happening across the hill to catch up with your good old Hotham mates and throw around your predictions for the season ahead. The Bill and Burner show will be bringing you the good news each morning again this winter. Enjoy!

Welcome to winter 2026. We do have some snow however not enough currently to allow for grooming of our trails. If you venture out, ski with great care due to thin cover. I will keep you updated as to when grooming commences. See you on the trails when things get going..cheers Bev
