Hotham 2013
Word on the web is Summit Trainer and Upper Playground will open today.
Apparently, some amazing work by the snowmaking team and groomers to get Hotham out of that fund draining nightmare called Snow Guarantee.
Fingers crossed for some natural stuff soon. Hotham has really missed out so far and the businesses up there are hurting bad.

Hm not sure whether to be glad about that or not. If they’ve just scraped up enough to get those 3 lifts running, and not even HV, it’s going to be pretty crap riding. My wife’s already got her finger on the snow guarantee trigger. On the good news front, there seems to be some optimism for the weather system due 5-10 July. They reckon that has potential for a week of snow.
whats the deal with the snow guarantee? Does it affect me in anyway if i have a hero pass? (too lazy to google)
This time last year I already had 4-5 days on my pass.

Not sure about Hero Pass, I suspect you have to cop it.
Holiday Snow Guarantee
If, due to lack of snow, there are less than 3 lifts (inclusive of at least 1 lift that services an intermediate trail) operating at Hotham 2 days prior to the check-in date of your snow holiday, you may choose to receive a credit or full refund on all pre-paid accommodation and lift company products. If you decide to wait less than 2 days before your check-in date to see if further lifts open, the credit or refund will be granted based on the number of lifts operational due to lack of snow on the day you request a refund. You may not cancel your holiday on the check-in date. This snow guarantee only applies if a lift cannot be opened due to a lack of snow on the major trail it services. The guarantee does not apply if lifts are on windhold – i.e. not able to be opened due to high winds, low visibility or a combination of these weather elements or undergoing temporary maintenance.

Oh that movie… 
Classic!
Hahahahaha i literally watch that once a week
I saw it last weekend… It’s up there as one of my favourites!
and so hotham now has a park! albeit a rather sketchy and somewhat dangerous park with lots of punters, features too close together and on a slope too steep. keep on trying though guys! i’m impressed that anything is up given the lack of snow so far…
