Hotham

It’s a great app that I use 90% of the season but could do with some changes and upgrades. The older version in 2022 where we could see all the resorts trails under each lift was super useful but now not every trail is included especially the ones in the extreme zone so it’s hard to tell if they are open and even the ones that you can see often don’t get updated till the next day unlike the lift status which updates every 10 minutes. Another thing that could be good is something like the American epic mix app that lets you see all the resorts in the US on one app. It’d be an alright idea having this for Hotham, falls and Perisher. This is all just me being a bit picky but it would be great to see these things happen.

Hmmmm snowboarding. Was bullied by entitled skiers during my time at hotham but still a great mountain. Staff, facilities and lifties all friendly and good.

There’s a lot of wording that is very difficult to read without glasses, eg; snow report. Please make font larger.

I love the Hotham app it tells me everything I need to know

Quite disappointed in number of lifts and runs open on the mountain. Kids in ski school can’t even get a lift to ski a run. Good but very limited runs for experienced skiers And even less for moderate skiers

Overall a good app however I regularly find myself looking at the Hotham website page for the following reason. -app is really clunky, it often doesn’t work very early of a morning, just when you want info to decide if it is worth going up the mountain today. -snow report and weather conditions are not dated, so you don’t know if you are looking at todays or yesterday’s report that hasn’t be updated yet!!! -chain status needs more info like the website. Not just if chains are on but the location bay being used for 2wd and 4wd when they differ. -lift status often just says unknown for all lifts Please fix the glitch. Thanks for having a go at an app for Australia’s best mountain, with a bit more work you can make the app the best as well. Update for 2024 The weather conditions are time stamped and then the mountain report is listed below. Trouble is yesterdays report isn’t taken down nor does it have a date so if you are looking at the report at 630/7 and thinking of heading up from the valley there is no way to know if this is todays or yesterdays report. Is it possible it could be dated-simply in the reporters text, like “here is the snow report for Monday 8th July”, or delete it automatically at midnight, or have the app time/date stamp the entry. Option one would need no change in coding. Could a comment be made about terrain park status as well. Many people choose between Hotham and falls depending on the park status, especially when terrain is limited early and late in the season. Otherwise generally works well this year. Thanks heaps!

This is the second time we family of four come to ski. The place is friendly and safe. People are really helpful and lessons are well organized. Most importantly it has various snow conditions such as powder snow. The only thing might need to improve is the grocery shop which is a bit tiny( comparing falls’) while more choices from restaurants. Overall we will come back again.

Needs a good upgrade, and better webcams

This helps with seeing what the temp is and seeing what lifts are open

As good or possibly better than the other Vic resort apps ……. could be better with more resort/personalities skiing footage & interviews etc. to promote the resort. Check out USA & Canadian resort apps!
