Yeah, thats correct Muddy, but they ditched that this time around.

Wasn’t there something with the original hero passes about a price lock in?

what do you mean, Tobi?  Last year I think you got a $50 discount if you were already a Hero pass holder just renewing.

I think it was “no price hike” rather than a discount. Price was locked in for the following season for HP holders in the original T&C as i recall.

They are offering a Parent Pass, for 2014.
“It’s now even easier to take your little ones to the snow with the new Parents Pass! Parents can now purchase a 2 hour pass for $59 along with either a full day or half day lift pass (lift passes must be used concurrently).
To be eligible for this great deal, you must be signed up to Snow Pass on the Hotham eStore and parents must live at the same address. The 2 hour lift pass is valid from 1pm on the day of purchase and will be valid for 2 hours from the first scan.”

As for Spring,
“Drum roll… introducing… SPRING PASS! Get unlimited skiing and riding at Hotham AND Falls Creek Resorts from 31 August right up until the season closes on 29 September 2013 for $499 per adult and $299 per child.

With an average natural snowdepth of 128cm at Hotham and more in snowmaking areas, the resort is looking fantastic for Spring riding. With over 80cm of snowfall in the past ten days, the term ‘Spring is King’ may ring true in the mountains this year… so what better time to hit the slopes than Spring? The sun will be shining and the snow is great.

Adults only need to hit the slopes for 5 days to get their money’s worth – every day after that is a bonus! SPRING is KING in 2013!”

Really? How many of those do you think they’ll sell???

“During Learn to Ski Week only you can purchase a one day beginner adult lift + 2hr beginner group snowsports lesson pass for just $69.

Throw in equipment hire from Hotham Sports for $30 and you’re set and ready to rock!

The Learn to Ski product must be purchased as a $99 bundle during Learn to Ski Week only.

Add pants and a jacket to the bundle for just $5!

This is an adult only product, available from Tickets in Hotham Central and does not include a Snow Pass Card (additional $3 cost). Equipment hire is available from on-mountain Hotham Sports outlets only. This offer is not available online at the eStore.”

Why would anyone want this?

When you know you’re only going to ski for 2 hours with a kid before they get cranky and want to go play back in your hotel room.

I mean it’s not a great deal… but it’s still 1/2 a day pass if you know you’re not going to use a full day pass.

Agree, the 2 hour cranky kid pass is rubbish.

why’s that, mate?  I guess you aren’t planning on riding more than 6-7 days (the payback point of the Hero Pass)?

But what good is a two hour pass when the other has a full or half day?

Its just bizarre!

I guess the idea is that you dump the half-frozen offspring with the other half back at the lodge.
