The Wild Weather Arrived and Continues.
Well, the wild weather Bill eluded to yesterday certainly showed up and is continuing this morning. I probably could have chosen a more inspiring day to file my first report for the season. Stick with me though, there's better days to come.
It's currently foggy, there's a strong wind out of the NNW and the current temp is 4 degrees which is also the forecast max for the day. Temperatures have unfortunately been on the wrong side of freezing and we have been receiving rain showers over the past 24hrs which are forecast to continue today.
Summit Quad and Summit Trainer have been placed on hold due to strong winds. Please keep an eye on the Lift Report and Hotham App for real-time updates.
The weather looks set to improve tomorrow and Friday for more user friendly conditions. Today could be the day to get all your gear out and check it all over to make sure it's ready to go for when the proper mountain weather arrives.
Cheers, Burner.

Backcountry Conditions
The cover is very thin and marginal in the backcountry. Only the higher elevation areas are skiable (just) in places, but beware of south facing and shaded slopes that may be icy and slick. Take care.
The toboggan slope was groomed again last night and will be open for lots of fun sliding today. Take the free bus to bus stop 12.

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
