HOTHAM and Falls Creek were looking like a winter wonderland last week thanks to a dusting of fresh snow and chilly morning temperatures on Thursday.

According to Falls Creek resort management, the resort received a 2cm dusting of fresh snow accompanied by an early morning temperature of -3.6 degrees on Thursday.

Falls Creek field marketing manager Betony Pitcher said it had been a fun day for students at Falls Creek Primary School, who returned to classes during the week.

“We’re always happy to see snow in the resort, even out of season,” she said.

Hotham also received a dusting of snow on Thursday, with temperatures plummeting to -4.5 degrees, according to resort management.

“Today’s snow is a reminder of all the fun we had this season at Hotham and we can’t wait to welcome guests back next year,” Hotham’s field marketing manager Emily Smith said.
