Despite being situated just under five hours from Melbourne, Mount Hotham is always a popular
choice for a weekend away.
The one time highly criticized mountain has been busy for the best part
of a two decades now, investing money into infrastructure and
developments to help make the Mount Hotham experience like no other.
Today the resort not only offers some of the best facilities but also
delivers some ideal conditions for skiing and boarding.
Thanks to the falling slopes into the stunning sheltered valleys, Mount
Hotham often offers some great skiing and boarding even on the most
atrocious of days.
