Cross-country skiing makes up an active and integral part of the identity of Hotham and Dinner Plain. To this end there are some key cross country events that take place each year. The infamous Pub to Pub sees around 100 competitors ski the 11 kilometes from the General Store at Hotham down to the Dinner Plain Hotel. The Hotham Winter Triathlon is another great event, featuring a run, cycle and cross country ski. Cameron is a Hotham local who competed in the 2006 Torino Winter Olympics in the sport of biathon, which is cross country skiing and rifle shooting. He trains up here each winter, as Biathlon Australia's main shooting field is located just a few kilometres outside Hotham Village on the way to Dinner Plain.
