Before you go – Dinner Plain

IMPORTANT! From Friday 28 October through to Tuesday 2 November, it is expected Mt Hotham will receive significant snowfall. We recommend checking the weather forecast and the Mt Hotham website to determine local conditions before you travel. You can also check out the Mt Hotham web cams to see local conditions live. We also recommend you check the VicTraffic app or website for current road conditions, and only travel if it safe to do so.

The team at Dinner Plain are ready to welcome Owners for the 2022 Ski Season!

With 23cms of snowfall overnight and favourable conditions for snow making, Vail is excited to announce that Mt Hotham Slopes will be opening early this Saturday 4 June.

Guests must purchase their lift tickets online. As with previous seasons, lessons may sell out during peak periods, and they recommend all guests purchase their lift tickets, lessons and rentals online and in advance.

They have also introduced new lift ticket pick up machines that are spread throughout the resort (Mt Hotham). This means that guests will be able to hit the slopes faster by purchasing their lift ticket online to collect at one of our pickup machine when they arrive in resort – before heading straight to the slopes.

Travel to Dinner Plain 

If you have not driven to Dinner Plain before it is STRONGLY recommended to travel during daylight hours and review the Alpine forecast before departing.   During weather events the Alpine Road can be closed for long periods of time during the day so travel prepared with warm clothing, food and water for the trip. We recommend travelling to the resort via Omeo as it is the smoother and safer drive, especially during the winter months.
