### 4/5 — One issue

*2026-08-04*

The app is good but there is one issue. I go to Hotham every weekend but every time I go check the trails that are open it will only show me the terrain parks and no lifts of anything so I don’t know what is open. When it did work there wasn’t runs like Mary slide or basically any of the extreme zone so please fix that and I will be happy, so overall it was pretty good.

### 5/5 — Tracking

*2026-07-17*

The tracking part of the app needs work, the rest is informative.

### 3/5 — Feels generic

*2026-07-12*

Good but could have more specific information, especially regards to weather.  Website is more transparent than app. Also would be good to be able to book ski school on the day

### 5/5 — Fav

*2025-09-22, version 7.2.2*

This helps with seeing what the temp is and seeing what lifts are open

### 4/5 — Review - GM

*2025-09-19, version 7.2.2*

As good or possibly better than the other Vic resort apps ……. could be better with more resort/personalities skiing footage & interviews etc. to promote the resort. 
Check out USA & Canadian resort apps!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!

*2025-09-10, version 7.2*

I go to Hotham 30 days a year and this app tells everything!!!!❄️🎿🎿🚡⛷️

### 4/5 — Nice App

*2025-09-01*

App is good but can be a bit clunky to find which trails are open and closed.   Plus is very inconvenient to have to take your phone to chat with mates regarding which trails to take.  Was MUCH better when the trail maps were on the chairs on the chairlifts.

### 2/5 — App usability

*2025-08-28, version 7.0.2*

Reasonable, could be improved in terms of search and linking with epic passes for example.

### 5/5 — Hotham Outstanding

*2025-07-26*

Hotham App is a great way to see current conditions on the mountain and the Alpine roads. Also allows me to track my daily ski runs and offer’s a 3D map view. I would highly recommend using the App…….

### 5/5 — It’s all in the vibe

*2025-07-18, version 7.0.2*

Doing a great job. Keep up the good work & open orchard
