With the snow season soon to be in full swing, Mount Hotham is once again a premier destination for skiers and snowboarders looking for thrilling alpine experiences. Known as the “powder capital” of Australia, Hotham offers a diverse range of ski runs that cater to every skill level — from beginners to seasoned experts.

For those just starting out, Big D and Summit Run are ideal. These wide, gentle slopes are perfect for building confidence and mastering the basics. Big D is also home to a night-skiing option on select evenings, adding a touch of adventure for families and first-timers.
