HOTHAM

At a height of 1861 metres, Mount Hotham holds the record for the highest amount of natural snow in Victoria. Hotham Alpine Resort has so much on offer – dog sleds, night skiing, three terrain parks and Australia’s steepest (and arguably most difficult) run, Mary Slide. It’s a four-and-a-halfhour drive from Melbourne, an eight-hour drive from Sydney, or you can fly into Hotham Airport, just 12km from the slopes. mthotham.com.au

Hotham, which is hours just outside Melbourne, has something for everyone.
