Hotham Is without doubt the best Mountain in Oz. The Runs long enough to satisfy yet not to much time spent on lifts going cold. All terrain accessable by lifts with a mass of back country to be had with a bit of hiking. Double blacks have some hidden gems with some chest deep powder had in recent years. If you get bored with the skiing(which you won't) the views are spectacular in every direction. Top Bars with something on every night somewhere. Excellent Dining at all levels. A visit is essential. Simply summed up AWSOME!

Mt Hotham is known as the skiers mountain in Australia's Victoria region. The village sits on the top of the mountain overlooking the gully runs below and the first run of a day is to ski down to the chairlift.
The resort has it's own airport meaning you can fly direct from Sydney or Melbourne and there's two towns. The town of Dinner Plain a short drive from Hotham Village. Dinner Plain has cross country skiiing and self contained style accommodation for families as well as a Japanese onsen day spa.
Hotham village is ski in ski out with a range of restaurants and bars but most people come here to ski the snow gums and steep gullies by day. Just as well as the apres scene can be quite fractured.
There's 320 hectares of skiable terrain divided between beginners (20%), intermediate (40%) and advanced (40%). On a good day, weather permitting, there is also cat skiing in the back country.
Home to Australia's steepest pitch, Mary's Slide, Hotham is family friendly with an excellent beginners and ski school area quite separate to the rest of the skiers mountain.

Hotham is without doubt near the best resort in Aus for terrain and snow quality. Powder days are few in Aus but most I've experienced have been at Hotham. Mary's Slide the double black area is maybe a slightly ambitious rating if you compared it to db areas in the US or Canada but it's still has some of the best inbounds skiing to be had in Aus. And since the alpine fires a fews years back the off piste tree skiing has really opened up and some great lines can be found around the mountain.
