#mthotham — Public Fediverse posts

I've finished up for the 2026 Australian snow season. Decided to do a quick writeup of the trips I went on, share a few photos, and a few stats of what I did at the resorts.

Still buzzing after our annual snow trip with friends to Mt Hotham in the Australian alps. Snow cover wasn't as great as previous season but good friends always make up for it. Took the opportunity to do an "Intro to Freestyle" lesson and apparently the instructor called us "certified park rats" which I'll take as a huge compliment.

Crazy how the video didn't catch all the airtime I thought I got...

Ah yes, that amazing time of year when I scroll through the #MtHotham jobs list for the upcoming 2026 winter and dream of spending an entire winter at a ski resort, before reality hits and I remember that my body is pretty drained after 3-4 days of being at altitude and in very cold weather.

Heavy snow "caught travellers unaware".

What??

It's been forecast for a WEEK.

They need to pay for the emegency services used.

Hi Jen! Good question!!

Generally Australia does not experience wide spread #snow falls during #winter but we do have what’s knows as our #HighCountry in the State of Victoria.

We do have #snowfields, good skiing in general. Most of Victoria's alpine resorts lie to the north-east of Melbourne. Anywhere from say 2 to 4.5 hrs drive from our capital city Melbs.

These are a few of Victoria’s snowfields: #LakeMountain, #MtBawBaw, #MtBuller and #MtStirling, #MtHotham and #FallsCreek.

These👇are stock photos (source: https://www.visitvictoria.com/see-and-do/outdoor-and-adventure/snow-and-skiing/mt-buller and various), and #snow will start dumping early next month im guessing.

#newsouthwales has awesome snowfields. The largest ski resort in the #SouthernHemisphere is #Perisher. It has 47 lifts, plenty of runs, five terrain parks and around 100km of cross country trails. In #Thredbo you can ski Australia’s longest runs.

The Australian State of a #Tasmania, the island located to the south of Victoria, experiences flurries and snow falls throughout winter too. It’s closer to the #SouthPole. #Tassie is a gorgeous part of our country. 👏👍

PS I’m sure I’ve left out a load of other locations.
