Mount Hotham

Nestlé is the proud sponsor of the Hotham Kids Snowzone, located at the Big D, where all children 14 and under begin their lessons.

It is without doubt the home of fun, adventure and excitement for kids! Children from as young as 3 can participate in group lessons, and the Snowzone features a huge variety of activities, including theme days, fun games, lots of snow play and visits from Harry the Dragon, Hotham's own Snow Dragon!

Whether a child is a seasoned expert or has never seen snow before, Hotham has a variety of specially tailored lessons and programs to get them out on the slopes in no time. The Snowzone is staffed by a range of qualified instructors that are dedicated to ensuring the kids have a great time on the gentle, undulating slopes of the Big D. Group participation is also encouraged, meaning that the Snowzone is the perfect place to make friends!

Every child enrolled in a Kids Snowzone program gets access to FREE use of a helmet for the duration of their lesson.

MILO Mighty Mites (3-6 years) - Skiing Only

MILO Mighty Mites learn skiing in half or full day sessions. It's a great way to introduce children to the snow, start them skiing or develop their existing skills. The program gives younger children a positive and complete skiing experience through building self-confidence, offering encouragement and having fun.

MILO Kids Klub (7-14 years) - Skiing and Boarding

Both morning and afternoon programs are offered for kids aged 7 - 14 years of age. It's the perfect opportunity to make new friends while gaining the maximum benefit from skiing and boarding with our qualified children's instructors.

Theme days

To go with the Snowzone's motto of 'Expect Excitement!', special days of the week are dedicated theme days. Special games, dress-up fun and themed snow sessions make Hotham an extra exciting place to be! Some of the theme days have the added benefit of being educational, but Race Day is especially exciting, with a professionally timed course set up on the Big D. Kids compete in a friendly atmosphere. Photos are also taken by Snowpix and are available at the conclusion of the races.

Harry the Snow Dragon Show

Hotham's celebrity Snow Dragon shakes his tail and dances up a snow storm! Check out Harry as he hits the stage outside the Kids Snowzone and the Big D every Wednesday and Saturday at 4pm. This is a show you do not want to miss and it's the perfect warm-up to night skiing!

Teen Sessions

Kids can have some après time of their own with Teen Sessions. Designed to give teens their independence, kids can cruise the slopes each Wednesday and Saturday night with Supervised Night Skiing.... Leave Mum and Dad at home and come a hang out with a Hotham staff member at the Big D. Or if you’re after something more relaxed Hotham has teen movie nights every Thursday too.
