NEWS ALERT – 9 June 2011
HOTHAM ALPINE RESORT WELCOMES A SNOWY SEASON OPENING… WITH THREE LIFTS OPEN!
With at least 30cm of snowfall in the last week and further snowfalls forecast, Hotham Alpine Resort and Dinner Plain Village are gearing up for what promises to be a chilly but action-packed Opening Weekend from 10 – 13 June.
Hotham’s snowmaking team has also been hard at work supporting Mother Nature by producing over 40,000 cubic metres of snow with the snowguns still going! The most exciting news is the resort has confirmed at least three lifts will open – Big D, Summit Trainer and Playground (to mid load) – with lift tickets at $49 ($24 for a child or $39 youth).
“We are very excited about this week’s snowfalls at Hotham, providing us with a fantastic start to the season and our visitors with another reason to celebrate this Opening Weekend. As well as three lifts open and heavily discounted lift passes, we’ll also have snowsports lessons running and fun events for the whole family,” says Belinda Trembath, Hotham Skiing Company General Manager.
I spoke to my contact in the Department, they were quite clear that this is the minimum that they will be planning to operate, and if further snowfalls allow they will definitely assess at a later date and open as much as possible for the weekend.
