Best month to go
August
August is the best time to visit Mount Hotham with sufficient snowfalls occurring. With the school holiday period over, mid-week skiing will have reduced crowds, however, weekends will still have peak visitation. The Australian season is comparatively short and even by early September you will often see conditions softening considerably during the day.

Mt Hotham, or Planet Hoth as it's known, has everything. It can get other parts of the world type powder, with tree runs for days, off piste little cliff drops to boardercross, amazingly huge park and beautifully groomed runs. Whether you're a die hard extremist or it's your first time, you will definitely find something to give you the biggest... Moreintermediate snowboarder

Family friendly resort that starts with easy beginner pistes and that evolve into some of the most advanced back and side country in Australia. Ski in, ski out accomodation with dining facilities that range from pizza and fries to gourmet delights that would have any gourmand tipping their one, two or three hats. Come and get raucous with the staff... Moreexpert snowboarder

"The best snow is what's under your skis" applies at Hotham. Often windy with hardpack or slush and drizzle, it's still great to get a ski day here in with family and friends. ... Moreadvanced skier

Amazingly terrain as far as Australian alps are concerned - however isn't great value for money with very little discounting ever done, practically ghost town end of season, would really have benefited from discounting tickets/resort entry, to encourage participants in an already alarmingly expensive endeavour in Australia - spending 2 weeks...

Mt hotham is a skiers paradise, it offers far more terrain that all other Victorian resorts and has half the crowd. Made up from a range of valleys, hotham offers advanced skiers and boarders line after line of challenging terrain and fun, when you get sick of that (you wont) just head out to the back country and youve got hundreds of kilometers of...

Great resort once you're in, a nice range of black runs, lift lines can be a little long at times. Roads in aren't good though and parking is not the best. On a nice day it's the best resort on Victoria!Superb!5 / 5Oct 16, 2017

Mt Hotham has a broad range of accommodation and getting around the mountain is easy. Some great black runs and extensive off piste area well. Weekends can be busy but ski mid week even during the peak season and you won't be queuing for lifts. It's a short season to pick your times well. August usually sees the whole resort operating and opens... More
