Good afternoon,
The temperature dropped to a chilly -4 degrees at Hotham this morning and the snow making team were on hand to fire up the snow guns for the first test run for the season. It was the perfect opportunity to test the summer snowmaking pipeline upgrade project with everything working perfectly.
“The pipeline install went well and everything is now connected” said Jesse Ruming, Hotham Snowmaking and Grooming Manager. “We got a really good morning here with cold temperatures and really favourable snowmaking conditions. It’s great to test the guns in lead in to the season so we’re ready to make snow at every opportunity as we get closer to the scheduled season opening.”
Hotham’s Mountain Operations team will continue to watch the weather and make the most of any snowmaking windows as we lead into the Kings Birthday long weekend, which is the scheduled resort opening and when will see retail and food and beverage venue’s across the resort open for the snow season.
