FALLS Creek is thrilled to share news that from today they are open for skiing and snowboarding

“The snowstorms over the past week delivered a whopping 36cm of fresh snow and we have heaps more on the way with up to 45cm due to hit from Sunday,” Richard Phillips, vice president GM Falls Creek Ski Lifts said.

“We got a nice top up throughout the day yesterday as our team got to work preparing the mountain.”

Halley’s Comet Quad Chair, Towers Quad Chair and Mouse Trap Carpet will be running giving skiers and boarders access to Main Street, Highway 83, Lower Nastar and Mouse Trap runs.

Private lessons will commence from Friday for those wanting to try skiing and boarding for the first time, and all other snowsports lesson options will be available from the weekend. Lessons should be booked in advance to avoid disappointment.

“We have Australia’s most beginner-friendly terrain, coupled with amazing apres-ski options and a ski-in, ski-out village – it's just beautiful here right now,” Mr Phillips said.

“We can’t wait to share the mountain with skiers and snowboarders again.”

In more exciting news, the Windy Corner Toboggan Park opens this Saturday.

We're taking the snow play experience to new heights this year with the introduction of our amazing new and free magic carpet.

This brand-new carpet will save your legs from the walk up and deliver you to the top so you can fit in more runs and more fun.

The forecast holds the promise of an additional 25cm of fresh snow on Sunday and Monday and up to 45cm over the next fortnight!.

This will hopefully allow the opening of more lifts and unlocking more terrain next week.
