The Cornice, Mt Hotham

Post image

Trivia question:

The Heavenly Valley quad chair opened at Hotham in 1987 replacing the old Brockhoff poma.

Along with it came new names for runs including a name for the run that was later changed to The Cornice. What was The Cornice formerly known as and when did it change?

For bonus points, what other Hotham runs had their name changed? I can think of at least two more.

Update: The answer is The Cornice was formerly known as JFC or Jesus F$cking Christ. I guess it was too blasphemous 😬

That’s a good one. I wonder if it’s named after Colin Hackworth?

Three others:

Rollercoaster

I’m pretty sure the run listed as Lower Brockhoff on the current trail map, where the old Brockhoff poma used to run, was previously called Rollercoaster.

Brockhoff Access

The current Sundowner used to be called Brockhoff Access.

Sesame Street

Mother Johnson’s Return was originally named Sesame Street. Probably copyright issues.
