Fly in, Ski OUT!
Save Time - Fly Direct! One of the big 'points of difference' about our ski trip, is from Sydney, its the most convenient trip around with a direct flight from Sydney direct to Hotham Airport.
Thanks to our friends at QantasLink, we have booked a number of seats specially held for you!
To cope with increased demand this year, we have two flights currently held on each flying day. Seats will be allocated to the early flight from SYD to MHU first, with the matching late return flight, maximising your trip time at Hotham.
If you have a connecting flight, or wish to book on the 2nd flight choice, just let us know.

Carry On
Direct Coach ex-Melbourne
Hop on the special Frosty Fruits Ski Trip private coach from Melbourne to Hotham.
Departing at 8am from Melbourne's Southern Cross Station, Spencer Street, our special coach will speed you straight to the snow. Operated by the Snowball Express company, you can be assured of a comfortable and safe ride. The trip takes around 5.5 hours and places you at the Hotham Tourist Lounge, right at the top of the mountain. From there, its just across the road into Hotham Central to meet your hosts, check in and grab your skis. A late lunch will be provided.
Return trip departs late afternoon on Friday, time TBA.
Return fare is $175 and includes resort gate entry.
Note: The FFST private coach requires minium numbers. Should these numbers not be met, then the service will be operated as the Snowball Express commercial trip for that day departing at 10am. The return trip departs Hotham at 5pm.
