Hoys Skis has been servicing the Mt Hotham ski area for more than 80 years. We are a family owned/operated business with 4 generations of experience and enthusiasm dedicated to make your snow holiday a great memory. We have 5 central locations in Harrietville, Mt Hotham and Dinner Plain & new in 2022 - a new Ski Shop in Omeo to ensure you can pick up your gear with the least hassle and all gear is interchangeable if you need to swap. We are lucky to have the best staff on the mountain - most have worked with us for over 5 years - some 20! Our extensive experience with chain fitting allows us to choose the most appropriate chains for each vehicle, and allows us to provide unrivalled advice - if we believe your car to be unsuitable to travel the Hotham Road we will tell you so, and help organise you to take the bus or taxi. We can also provide security parking for your vehicle in such cases. Our operation also allows us to provide you with the most up-to-date road conditions which change frequently and surprisingly quickly. You can Follow us on Facebook and Twitter for honest and reliable reports every day. Hoys Harrietville Ski Centre is the gateway stop before heading up the mountain. Pick up your snow chains, break your journey here with a toilet break, check the conditions & even get your gear tuned. On the mountain, our shops are very conveniently located for any other needs you may have during your stay. At Hoys, we recognise that you want the best possible ski equipment and have made great efforts to supply equipment of higher than average quality. Further, our equipment is selected so that it is appropriate for the conditions.

Greetings Mt Hotham Alpine Resort on last day of season 2026. Currently just over zero, SSW 40-60km wind. A few centimetres of pretty wet snow has fallen o’night from Diamantina upward on the road. Chain fitting officially called for 2WD vehicles from Blowhard (chainbay 1) on the Harrietville approach through to Village but should be cleared soon. Crew were working on the Hotham Hub Wire Plain toboggan slope last night so hopefully that can open one last time. And at least Summit trainer (maybe Summit Quad?) today for the super keen. Terrific job by Hotham Alpine Resort & ARV keeping the season going these last 3 months - hats off to your teams.
We’d like to thank all the great guests, community & our staff for the fab support during this challenging season 26. Hoys will be back for our 93rd year next June & hope you’ll join us again.
