Similar to its neighbouring sister resort located slightly further northeast, the Hotham team has announced their readiness to activate the ski lifts and welcome back winter sports enthusiasts for the 2023 season. Lift operations will commence at 1 pm, offering access exclusively to the summit area. This region holds the advantage of being the highest elevated point in Victoria, ensuring the presence of the finest quality snow in the entire state.

According to the forecast, a significant cold front is approaching, anticipated to bring an additional 45 centimetres (18 inches) of natural snowfall. Furthermore, the snow-making team will contribute to the accumulation by producing artificial snow throughout the week. With any luck, by Monday, we can expect the opening of more terrain, and if conditions permit, Heavenly and Village may commence their operations with sufficient snow coverage.
