Commentary
Headline A little more snow makes everyone happy!
What a nice surprise! We've woken to a light dusting of snow across the resort. The snow is currently falling with up to 2cm predicted and it looks like winter again here at Hotham and Dinner Plain.

Fine weather is predicted for most of the day with more snowfalls coming in on Thursday.

All lifts are open at Hotham with a good firm cover that softens throughout the day. Groomers picks for the day are Brockhoff for advanced, Snake Gully for intermediates and The Big D for beginners.

Hotham's Spring Cup is on this weekend with fun ski races on Saturday 13 and golf on Sunday 14 at Bright. A great weekend for all the family - combining the two favourite sports of many ski enthusiasts! To register call 03 5759 4456.
