Plus at Hotham we want to share the excitement of snow with everyone. It's a sport that all ages can enjoy so we're keen to introduce kids to skiing and encourage seniors to return to skiing or continue skiing for as long as possible. Kids 5 years and under and adults 70 years and over get FREE skiing at Hotham for the duration of the season.
So with a range of passes to suit, what are you waiting for... We look forward to seeing you hit the slopes at Hotham this winter.
Falls Creek 2010
Falls Creek in winter is one and a half hours by car but an easier drive (more child friendly).
Activities include, skiing, snowboarding, tobogganing, tubing, kite boarding, snow biking and full and half day childrens' program/lessons
For season 2010, Falls Creek will transform Australia's longest green run into Australia's newest night skiing and boarding playground. Wombat's Ramble is a Falls Creek favourite and we have lined the entire trail with lights so on Wednesday and Saturday nights you can enjoy skiing and boarding well after dark. Now you don't have to pack away your skis once the sun goes down, gather the family, grab some mates and enjoy the thrill of skiing under lights.
