Snow Reporter Comments: Today at Mt. Hotham
26 Aug 2026 – Last night's rain has left its mark on the snowpack, and while today has turned mostly sunny with lighter winds, most of the mountain is running on limited natural cover this morning. It's currently 0.6°C with a light 6km/h breeze, a big improvement on yesterday's wet, blustery start.
Road Runner, Summit Quad, Summit Trainer and Pup's Playground (kids lessons only) are turning, serving Easy Street, QC, Sun Run, Summit Run, Summit Trainer and Basin, all showing fair to very good groomed cover thanks to snowmaking. Village, Big D, Blue Ribbon, The Drift, Gotcha, Heavenly Valley, Keogh's, Orchard and the Dinner Plain lift remain closed this morning, along with Bunderool, which is running for snowsports lessons only until 12:30pm. Big D and Summit Terrain Parks are both open, though the Ridercross Course stays shut.
Hotham Hub Toboggan Park is closed today. Cross-country trails around the village and out toward Dinner Plain remain accessible, though cover is patchy in places. Both the Harrietville and Omeo approaches are open with no chains required.
