Falls Creek’s spring event line-up guarantees thrills, spills and dress-up fun

FALLS Creek is showing no signs of slowing down this spring with an event lineup bursting at the seams both on and off the slopes.

From the Oakley Freestyle Series and Summit Masters to Retro Weekend and the annual Pond Skim, there’s something for everyone at Victoria’s largest ski resort.

To kick off September, join in the fun on Father’s Day (September 1) with the Junior Mini Pipe Masters, presented by Burton.

This free event is designed for riders under 16 years old and their parents, with prizes for the most stoked participants and those brave enough to try new tricks.

From young ones to the young at heart, the Summit Masters returns to Falls Creek on September 7 and 8, with two solid days of competition in both the giant slalom and moguls.

Closing out the ski and board competition lineup are two final events in the Oakley Freestyle Series – the Bandwagon Banked Slalom (September 21) and The Dreamer (September 22).

The Banked Slalom is for anyone who loves a bumpy ride, with berms, bumps, and spills galore, plus a Western dress-up theme to add even more entertainment.

The Dreamer is a jam-style format in the Panorama Terrain Park that will pit local legends against themselves, with progression as the aim of the game.

For anyone who loves a dress-up theme, Retro Weekend and Oktoberfest are ready and waiting.

On September 7 and 8, Falls Creek will go back in time with a retro-theme weekend extending across the resort.

There’ll be no shortage of vintage ski jackets, pants, and jumpsuits to brighten up the slopes.

Oktoberfest celebrations will kick off on September 21.

Head down to the Village Bowl for an afternoon soiree featuring frothy brews, local bratwurst, and pork rolls, with Lederhosen and Dirndls highly encouraged.

Finally, guests can close off their snow season with a splash in the annual Pond Skim event on October 6.

With a choose-your-own dress-up theme and extra points for creativity, skill, and courage, the event always draws a crowd, whether competing or playing it safe on the sidelines.

No matter what kind of fun you're after, Falls Creek has a packed spring calendar that guarantees unforgettable moments that will last a lifetime.
