HOTHAM 2010 - Live From the Mountain
yeh lucky i got off the mountain on friday because it POURED down sooo much today its insane! My town is partially flooded and complete football ovals have turned into lakes, roads are now rivers.. Its crazy weather atm! Btw i live in Bendigo
Mount Hotham Ski Co asked ski.com to remove the pic from their site.
It is very wet, historic day at Hotham. A wee bit of footage from this morning
That’s crazy! 
How much damage did the rain do to the snow cover?
What exactly is happening in that photo? Is that part of the tower pulled down, or is there a slide underneath it? Looks gnarly!
OK, the story goes, as far as I can make at from various sources.
A large amount of snow / ice / water & other matter came down from Golden Point (see background) the building you can see has lost its walls. One staff member has been hurt, but will be ok. People had to rescued from the lift as it could not be run. All reports are that the lift itself is OK, but needs further investigation.
It has been an amazing weekend of weather in Victoria this weekend, sadly the amount of rain took away lots of the cover and damaged infrastructure.
I highly recommend reading the thread on ski.com in the Hotham thread, quite an entertaining read.
Check out this video
Oh yeah, the bus at the start of the vid I posted is bogged !!!! Straight out the front of the Alberg, bus stop 2 for those that know Hotham
How’s the damage fairing at hotham after the carnage of the rain and flooding?
Hope everyone’s safe and well up there!
Sorry, forgot to post this yesterday…
